...of Getting New Sisters!

Hey there, future Panthers!

Let me talk to you all about one of my favorite things about UNI- Greek life!

When most people think of joining a sorority, they think of formal recruitment, or what many people know as "rushing." While formal recruitment is how a majority of the girls join a chapter, it is not the only way. In the spring, there is also what is known as informal or "open" recruitment. My sorority recently went through open recruitment and gained 7 amazing new members! We were thrilled to welcome them home to Alpha Delta Pi.


Aren't they adorable?

Informal recruitment differs from formal in a number of ways. It is less structured, a little more casual (dress-wise), and it is focused on only one chapter. During formal, the women participating visit all of the chapters on campus, whereas with informal, they only attend the chapter who is having recruitment during that specific time.

After a few weeks, our new members went through initation and became full members of ADPi. Recruitment is an exciting and incredibly meaningful time for every sorority. If you think formal recruitment seems a little overwhelming but would still be interested in joining a chapter, informal recruitment may be right for you!

Have a great weekend, guys!
