2026 Recruitment Schedule & Dress

Below you will find descriptions of each round of recruitment as well as examples of what to wear. We'd love to extend a special thank you to Sabi Boutique for dressing our CPC Executive Board!

2026 Primary Recruitment will be August 16th – August 22rd with Bid Day on August 23th!

 

PNM Move-In

Early move-in will take place the morning of Monday, August 17. Fraternity and Sorority Life works with Housing and Residence Life to provide early move-in to PNMs living on campus for an additional fee of $100 billed directly to the student’s account. During registration, PNMs will indicate that they are living on campus, and Panhellenic will submit their names to Residence Life. For student’s living off campus, please coordinate with your leasing office or landlord to coordinate your move-in.

Convocation

Convocation I will be virtual and held on the evening of August 16th. Convocation II will be in person in Rudder Auditorium the evening of August 17th. These events are mandatory and will include speakers and the opportunity to hear from Panhellenic Recruitment Team with important information.

A family member convocation will be held in person and virtually on the evening of August 17th.

Round 1: Go Greek

Go Greek is now in person! Potential New Members will have an assigned time slot to meet with their Rho Gamma groups in Rudder Tower to watch videos from 13 chapters and make their first preferences, while chapters are watching the video that Potential New Members submitted with their application. During the day, Potential New Members have the opportunity to bond with their peers and Rho Gamma groups with coffee carts, yoga, live music, BBQ, and so much more!

Additionally, financial obligation forms will be available to review for each chapter during this round.

PNMs are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing, as this will be done on their own time.

Round 2: Philanthropy

Philanthropy Round will be the first round of Recruitment held on Sorority Row, and will take place on Wednesday, August 19, and Thursday, August 20. During this round, PNMs will attend 30 minute events with 15 minute breaks between each event. PNMs may receive up to 10 invitations, though it is very common to receive less. This round provides PNMs the opportunity to learn about the causes that are important to each chapter and how the members live out the Aggie Core Value of Selfless Service.

For Philanthropy Round, you are encouraged to wear a light sundress dress or romper with sandals, or flats. Philanthropy Round is casual, so stick with more casual dresses that you would wear to a brunch with friends!

Round 3: Sisterhood

Sisterhood round will take place on Friday, August 21. For Sisterhood, each event will be 40 minutes, with 15 minute breaks between events, and PNMs may receive invitations to up to 6 chapters. During this round, PNMs will have the chance to learn about the unique values that drive the membership experience in each of our sororities and discover what makes their individual bonds truly special.

For Sisterhood Round, it is recommended that you wear slightly nicer attire than Philanthropy Round. It is a little bit dresser than the previous round, potentially with heels, wedges or sandals and some nicer accessories. This round is typically described as wedding or  “Sunday Best” attire.

Round 4: Preference Night

Preference Round will take place on Saturday, August 22. Events will be 50 minutes, with 20 minute breaks in between all events. PNMs may visit either 1 or 2 chapters. This is the final and most important round of Recruitment. Many chapters will share a special ceremony with the PNMs and discuss the lifelong impact membership in their sisterhood will have. PNMs are encouraged to limit their conversations with others during this round and focus on reflecting on their own experience.

Once a PNM attends her last party, she will meet with her Rho Gamma on Sorority Row before traveling to campus via Aggie Spirit bus to submit her final preferences and sign her Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement (MRABA) with the help of volunteer staff.

This round is typically described as semi-formal attire. Preference attire is the most formal day. You are encouraged to wear a nice, appropriate cocktail attire.

Bid Day

Bid Day will take place in the afternoon on Sunday, August 23. PNMs will meet at Rudder Auditorium to view a brief celebratory presentation from the Collegiate Panhellenic Council before receiving their invitations to membership of their new sorority. Afterward, they will be transported via Aggie Spirit bus to Sorority Row, where they will “run home” to meet and celebrate with their new sisters. While the ceremony at Rudder Auditorium is closed to guest, friends and family are welcome to join the festivities on Sorority Row.

Conflicts

If you have a university excused scheduling conflict with any Recruitment events, please contact the Panhellenic VP of Recruitment at tamurecruitment@gmail.com immediately. Please note that we will do our best to accommodate excused absences. However, make up opportunities may not be offered.

Tips from Panhellenic

It is important to remember that each chapter wants you to feel comfortable and confident in what you are wearing! Whatever you are wearing, make sure you are comfortable and feel like your best self.

Chapters do not score you based purely on what you are wearing, so take pride in showcasing your personal style through each outfit you decide to wear for each round.

Confidence is key for any Panhellenic Woman!
