Panhellenic Recruitment

NU Sorority women celebrate Badge Day in March.

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR RECRUITMENT

Panhellenic Council invites all women to participate in formal recruitment from September 23 through September 28. Women participating in recruitment will have the opportunity to meet representatives from all of the NPC sororities on campus during the structured formal process described below.

Why Sorority Life?

Sorority membership at Northeastern University opens up the possibility to build new friendships and become engaged in the campus community. Women in NU’s Panhellenic sororities are active leaders on campus, give back to the Boston community and strive for academic excellence. Throughout a typical school year, sorority women at Northeastern complete 10 hours of community service, raise money for their respective philanthropies, attend semi formals and formals, build floats for the Homecoming parade and compete in Greek Week! College just isn’t complete without Fraternity and Sorority Life!

Am I Eligible?

In order to be eligible for Sorority recruitment, a woman must be an enrolled full time undergraduate student with a GPA of at least 2.5*. She may not have ever been initiated into any other National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sorority.

*For first-year or transfer students going through recruitment, an academic transcript is necesary. If you would like to send it to our office now, please fax to 617-373-2694 or send attention to:

Chris McGill, Student Leadership Office 434 Curry Student Center
360 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115
