Information for Parents
Going through Recruitment can be stressful for some students, and it can be equally as stressful for parents and loved ones. Some family members were involved in Greek life during their time in college, but for others being a member of a sorority is a new concept. Whether you were involved in Fraternity and Sorority Life or this is a new experience for you and your daughter, it is important to familiarize yourself with the Recruitment process here at Georgia Tech.

The Recruitment Process
The Recruitment process has drastically changed over time and varies between institutions. Here, at Georgia Tech, we have a fully structured, formal Recruitment process. This means that your student will have the opportunity to meet every chapter on our campus. Each chapter and each university may have a different Recruitment process, so we encourage everyone to go through the Recruitment process with an open mind. We understand that you and your daughter may be nervous about going through the Recruitment process. Please know that the Panhellenic Association at Georgia Tech is always here to answer your questions and put any rumors to rest! Refer to our website, Facebook or Instagram for updated tips and information about Recruitment.
Values-Based Recruitment
At Georgia Tech we have a values-based Recruitment process. This means that the women in our chapters are looking for women that have similar values to join their chapter. When going through Recruitment, your daughter should ask questions to see if her values align with the women that she is conversing with at each chapter. At night, you can talk to your daughter about how her Recruitment experience is going. Help her reflect on her values and see which chapters’ values she connected with that day.
