East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania\u2019s National Panhellenic members and affiliated chapters completed their most successful recruitment efforts this semester attracting 75 new women to the chapters.<\/p>\n
These unprecedented results increase the sorority population by almost 50 percent. The Spring recruitment activities included a series of meetings with each of the chapters throughout the week in which interested women got to know more about the values, members and goals of each chapter. Each chapter works to better the community with respect, leadership, and service while shaping the individual member\u2019s personal development and scholarship along the way. The recruitment program ended with a Bid Day Celebration, a final event for the new women who have accepted their bids to meet the new chapter members and the disaffiliated recruitment guides reveal which chapter they belong to.<\/p>\n
Lisa Upperman, a junior majoring in rehabilitation and human services and special education and rehabilitation from Ventnor City, N.J., and the assistant vice president of recruitment for Panhellenic, explained the importance of the recruitment counselors, otherwise known as the Rho Gammas.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had three women from each chapter disaffiliate in order to help these ladies find their homes,\u201d she said. \u201cTheir purpose is to give unbiased advice about all of the chapters to the potential new members. The Rho Gammas really helped the process run smoothly.\u201d<\/p>\n
“The chapters took everything they had to do, and did it with extraordinary effort,\u201d Lindsay Perine, a senior majoring in psychology from Freehold, N.J., who is also vice president of recruitment for ESU\u2019s Panhellenic Council, said. \u201cI’m so happy with the way everything turned out.”<\/p>\n
\u201cHard work truly does pay off. My executive board and I worked extremely hard to make sure that formal recruitment on ESU\u2019s campus maintained its integrity and the results show that,\u201d Candice Cantore, a senior majoring in public health from Oceanside, N.Y., who is also the president of ESU\u2019s Panhellenic Council, said. \u201cEven though the Executive Board all came from different chapters, we all supported each other, and I could not be more proud of such an incredible group of women. Through all of the ups, downs, and chaos, we helped 75 women find their home in Greek life, and that makes everything worthwhile.\u201d<\/p>\n
The National Panhellenic member and affiliated chapters, which participated in the Spring recruitment, included national chapters Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Sigma Tau, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and local sorority Lambda Iota. ESU\u2019s multicultural sororities, Chi Upsilon Sigma and Mu Sigma Upsilon, conduct their membership activities outside of the National Panhellenic formal program and are currently involved in their own recruitment events.<\/p>\n
