Mutual selection is the process used throughout recruitment where both Potential New Members (PNMs) and chapters indicate who they would like to see again after each round. Invitations for the next round are determined using both sets of preferences.

No. Going through recruitment does not obligate you to join a chapter. Recruitment is an opportunity to explore each organization, meet members, and decide whether Panhellenic life is the right fit for you.

Yes. To remain eligible for recruitment, you are expected to attend every event listed on your schedule unless you have received prior approval from the Panhellenic Recruitment Team. Attending all events gives you the best opportunity to find the chapter where you feel most at home.

Think about where you feel most comfortable and authentic. Pay attention to the conversations you have, the values each chapter emphasizes, and the people you connect with. Try not to compare chapters based on reputation but instead focus on where you can truly see yourself growing and belonging.

Keep an open mind throughout recruitment. Every chapter is made up of unique individuals, and every member's experience is different. Rather than relying on rumors or stereotypes, focus on how each chapter makes you feel during recruitment. The best way to find your home is by forming your own opinions.

Yes. Wake Forest University and the Panhellenic community have a zero-tolerance policy for hazing. All Potential New Members are required to complete the Hazing Prevention Workshop before participating in recruitment, and every chapter is committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and welcoming new member experience.

Each chapter has its own membership selection process based on its values and the conversations members have throughout recruitment. Every organization is looking for women who align with its values and would positively contribute to its sisterhood.

If you receive a bid and choose to accept it, you'll begin your new member experience and officially join your Panhellenic chapter. Bid Day is a celebration of the friendships and connections made throughout recruitment.

Each year, hundreds of students participate in Formal Recruitment. The number of new members each chapter welcomes varies from year to year and is determined at the end of recruitment based on the number of participants and Panhellenic guidelines.

Not always. Many students who do not receive a bid choose to withdraw from recruitment before it ends. A small number may complete the entire process without receiving a bid. We encourage all Potential New Members to keep an open mind throughout recruitment and consider every chapter they have the opportunity to visit.

If you receive and decline a bid from a Panhellenic sorority, or accept a bid and later withdraw from membership, you are generally not eligible to join another Panhellenic sorority until the next primary recruitment period, in accordance with National Panhellenic Conference guidelines.

Not at all! Wake Forest offers hundreds of ways to get involved through student organizations, service opportunities, club and intramural sports, academic organizations, and campus events. Sorority membership is just one of many ways to build friendships and find community.
