A sorority is a place where a young woman can find her place and a forever home during her college years that she will carry with her through the rest of her life. While our 8 individual chapters are unique they work cohesively to promote and sustain the largest growing community of women on our campus. Through shared values, academic excellence, and philanthropic efforts UNT Panhellenic women are able to impact our community, our campus, and the world around us.

Primary Recruitment is a formal recruitment process that, at UNT, takes place during the fall.

Primary recruitment gives potential new members the ability to experience and learn about all eight sororities as they go through the recruitment process. Each day they are presented with new information and insight on each sorority, while narrowing down preferences and ultimately finding the place they will call home.

PNM Orientation will be on August 30th and the first day of recruitment will be on August 31, ending with Bid Day on September 2nd.

The College Panhellenic Council and the Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life facilitate the logistics of recruitment. This means that we ensure recruitment events can happen on campus effectively. We plan convocation, work with the chapters to set event times, facilitate selection on Campus Director, plan Bid Day, and more! While we facilitate the logistics of recruitment, it's important to know that neither NPC or CFSL make any membership decisions on behalf of the potential new member or the chapter. More so, we are not able to know why certain membership decisions are made. Those remain confidential to the individual PNM or the chapter and are not shared with us unless deemed appropriate.

There are a few things that qualifies someone for Primary Recruitment:

1. Registration for UNT courses and active status as UNT student.

2. Haven’t been initiated into another National Panhellenic Council, Multicultural Greek Council, or National Pan-Hellenic Council sorority.

3. Must have a minimum 2.75 high school GPA or a 2.5 college GPA

Cost varies amongst chapters, as each chapter has unique dues in place. But, the average semesterly cost is between $1,000-$1,400. New members can be expected to pay a slightly higher rate due to one time new member fees or additional fees required by chapters.

A bid is a formal invitation from a sorority to a potential new member. It is up to the potential new member to accept or decline this bid. However, denying a bid will inhibit one to join a sorority until the following year's primary recruitment.
