Thank you for registering for Panhellenic Sorority Primary Recruitment at Purdue University! The Purdue Panhellenic Association is excited for you to learn more about the community throughout the summer and during Primary Recruitment.

University Requirements

For recruitment, it is required that each Potential New Member (PNM) is required to fill out a waiver for the university. You will be able to find the waiver on the Purdue Panhellenic BoilerLink page. Once this step has been completed, you will need to submit a screenshot of the submission in this google form. This is the information you need to fill out the form: Participate in "Primary Recruitment", Sponsored by "Purdue Panhellenic Association". Please do not click the "Join" button on the Panhellenic Association BoilerLink page.

Pre-Recruitment

At some point during the summer you will receive an email from a current Purdue sorority member who will help answer all your questions about recruitment before the process officially begins.  This person will be your recruitment counselor – more commonly referred to as your Gamma Chi!
In the mean time, please view this PNM Crash Course to read all about what to expect during primary recruitment and how it works. This will be an important resource for you, so please read it!

Prior to the start of Primary Recruitment you will participate in Potential New Member (PNM) Orientation and at least one Gamma Chi Meeting with other PNMs. Dates for both of those activities will be shared during the summer. Both will provide valuable information about Primary Recruitment and address last minute questions you may have about the process.

PNM Orientation: You will learn more about fraternity/sorority life at Purdue, and receive details on the primary recruitment process. You will receive communication later this summer informing you when the meeting will occur and whether it will take place in person or online.

Gamma Chi Meetings: Meetings with your Gamma Chi group will take place prior to the start of Primary Recruitment. A portion of this meeting discusses a program called iValU, where your Gamma Chi will highlight the importance of values to each sorority and how you can use your personal values to find a sorority that is right for you. Please complete the Values Bracket through the "TAKE VALUESBRAKET" on the left hand side of your MyCampusDirector Portal. After you complete the bracket, print or write down your top four results, and bring that with you to your Gamma Chi meeting.
