Different Colored Shirts at the Panhellenic Mixer

Oh yes, it is that time of year again!  Recruitment time : )

Recruitment is such a great time in the Panhellenic Sorority Community because it allows our organizations to grow by looking for new members who sharing our common values and purpose.

Members from all 6 sororities before the Mixer began

Last night twenty of our sisters attended the Mixer hosted by SJSU Panhellenic Council.  We had so much fun meeting so many great potential new members as well as women in other chapters.   

Recruitment Counselors

If you attended the mixer you may have noticed women wearing different color shirts. So what do the different colors mean?

Fuchsia: Women wearing the fuchsia (btw, I just learned how to spell fuchsia, why is it spelled so weird?!  Thank you spell check!) colored shirts are active members in their chapters, they will be recruiting on campus, passing out information, giving house tours during recruitment weekend, etc.

White: Women wearing white shirts are Recruitment Counselors.  They are active and recent alumnae of their sorority and will guide potential new members through recruitment weekend.  They are not helping their sorority with recruitment and will not share which sorority they are in with potential members.  This is to ensure that they can help potential members that may be conflicted when it comes to making decisions during recruitment weekend. 

Yellow:  Women in yellow shirts are members of SJSU Panhellenic Council.  They are the officers of the governing body of all Panhellenic Sororities.  They also will not share their sorority affiliation with potential members so that they can best assist women going through recruitment.  They plan, execute and facilitate all aspects of recruitment. 

We hope that attendees of the mixer who were curious about sorority membership got their questions answered and enjoyed themselves.  If you haven't yet registered for Panhellenic Recruitment you can do so here.  Registering for recruitment is needed to attend the events held over recruitment weekend. 

If you are still unsure about sorority membership and would like some more information, on Wednesday, September 7 at 5:30pm in Morris Dailey Auditorium, Panhellenic Council will be hosting Sorority Recruitment Orientation and a special session for parent's and guests.  This event is a great opportunity to get a lot more information about sororities and recruitment without needing to  be registered for recruitment.  You can get more information about recruitment here.
