What is Panhellenic Recruitment?

Panhellenic Association Recruitment is a weeklong process in which potential new members explore sororities, and each chapter selects its new member class. This year’s recruitment will include videos and opportunities to meet with chapters throughout each round, culminating in Bid Day—the most exciting day of the process! Chi Omega is thrilled to meet the potential new members who will become part of our 2024 new member class. Recruitment will take place from August 25 to September 7, 2025.

Potential New Members,

When I went through recruitment three years ago, I had no idea how much Chi Omega would shape my college experience. From the moment I walked into the room, I felt an instant connection. The laughter was effortless, and every woman I spoke to made me feel welcome and valued. Hearing their stories—the friendships, leadership opportunities, and memories they had made—left me inspired and excited about the possibility of finding my own place in this sisterhood.

Since then, Chi Omega has become so much more than I ever expected. It’s not just an organization; it’s a family. The women in this chapter have been my biggest supporters, always pushing me to grow and celebrating my successes along the way. They remind me so much of my own sister, Allison, always there to encourage me, challenge me, and make every day at U of A feel like home.

One of the things I love most about Chi Omega is the way we lift each other up. The words of our Symphony—"to work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincerely, and to choose thoughtfully"—aren’t just something we say; they reflect how we support one another every day. This sisterhood is about more than just college—it’s about forming lifelong connections, growing into the best version of yourself, and knowing you always have a support system behind you.

Choosing Chi Omega was one of the best decisions I’ve made in college. It has given me friendships that will last a lifetime, a network of inspiring women, and a sense of belonging that I will always be grateful for. As you go through recruitment, I hope you take the time to find the place that feels like home. Trust yourself, embrace the experience, and choose the sisterhood that inspires you!

Love, Olivia deFreese
