University Panhellenic Council (UPC) Recruitment

How to Join

Panhellenic Formal Recruitment occurs the week before classes begin each fall semester. After registering online in the summer and working on your recommendation letters, you will have the opportunity to attend events at each of the Panhellenic chapter houses. Throughout the week, by a process of mutual selection, both chapters and potential new members will narrow their choices. While you might not get your top choice, all of our UT Austin chapters have something to offer and potential new members are strongly encouraged to keep an open mind. A majority of women obtain membership through this process; however qualifying chapters may also have opportunities to join outside of this time period and throughout the year.

Who is eligible for recruitment?

A woman is eligible to participate in recruitment and join a sorority if:

She is enrolled at The University of Texas at Austin as a full-time student. A full-time student is defined as one who is taking twelve credit hours per semester, excluding correspondence courses and courses at other universities.
She must not be an initiated member of any National Panhellenic Conference sorority.
