A Letter from the Vice Presidents of Recruitment

Dear Future Panhellenic Women,

First off, we would like to welcome you to the University of Alabama at Birmingham. We are so glad that you have found interest in joining the Panhellenic community here at UAB. Panhellenic strives to empower women around campus and within our community. Sororities today are far more than just social organizations; they facilitate growth and development of their members and contribute much to the community. Through various philanthropies, our campus contributes not only within our community but contributes nationally to various organizations. Each sorority contains a variety of women leaders, with varying personalities, values, goals and ideals, but we all are united through Panhellenic.

Over the past semester, the Panhellenic Council has been working with each of the six sororities – Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Gamma, Kappa Delta, and Sigma Kappa- to prepare a recruitment period that will be both enjoyable and informative. Primary Recruitment will offer you the unique opportunity to become more familiar with the chapter members and the unique values of each sorority. By choosing to join a sorority, you will encounter endless social, philanthropic and academic opportunities at UAB. You will get a chance to meet some truly amazing women and make life- long friends as well as develop your leadership skills. Throughout your college years, these women will always be there to support you and your goals.

Joining a sorority is a very special opportunity, it is a time for you to be selfish and make your own decisions. Therefore, it should be an individual decision, one which you make for yourself, not for your mother or your sister or best friend. Although you might have a chapter already in mind, it is very vital to keep an open mind, giving each chapter an equal chance to showcase their unique values. When joining any Greek-letter organization, you are not only joining that chapter; you are joining the Panhellenic community.

We know that right now some things are uncertain, but the one thing we do know is that the Panhellenic community is here to uplift and support one another during this time. The bond that the Panhellenic Council has made over the past few weeks is something that years could not have done. Panhellenic is working hard every day to ensure that all events are planned to their fullest potential.

Throughout recruitment remember to be yourself, be selfish, and have fun! Look for the values that you have instilled within yourself and strive to find that within your new sisters. Once again, the UAB Panhellenic Council would like to welcome you to UAB.

We are so excited to welcome you into our community!
