TAPC Recruiting

TAPC membership recruitment takes place in both the Fall and Spring semesters. During the second week of school each semester, TAPC sororities hand out fliers in West mall and Jester to interested women. The rush period lasts the entire week and is intended to simulate the experience of being a member of a TAPC organization. The week may include a service project, mixer, and sisterhood event. Potential new members must submit applications and be interviewed in order to receive a bid.
