How to Join a Sorority

National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC)

Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho

NPHC organizations do not use a recruitment process similar to the one used by the Interfraternity Council or the Panhellenic Council. NPHC organizations have open recruitment periods that are deemed by the specific organization.

Women interested in joining one of the three National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) organizations should note that individual organizations will hold informational meetings throughout the school year. These meetings will be advertised throughout various locations on campus and will provide aspirants with the opportunity to learn more about an organization, and perhaps get specific intake questions answered. The first informational meeting, Introduction to Fraternity and Sorority Life, will be held on Monday, August 19, 2013 at 7:00pm in Hardie Auditorium.

Women interested in joining one of the three National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) organizations should contact the individual chapter or visit the organization′s national website for more information regarding intake. Fliers will be posted on-campus for the recruitment meetings.  

For more information about Membership Intake, please visit the national organization′s website or contact the Office of Student Activities at 901-843-3970 for more information about recruitment opportunities.
