How does Recruitment work? What do the days of Recruitment consist of?
Sorority recruitment is a mutual selection process where a potential member has the opportunity to meet with chapter members, ask a variety of questions, and tour the beautiful Santa Barbara houses.
Just as sororities are looking for the right women to join their chapters, you should be looking for a chapter that fits you. Each sorority has something unique to offer and with ten chapters, you will be able to find a group of women with whom you identify.
Monday, September 19 (Unity Day I)
Tuesday, September 20 (Unity Day II)
Between Unity Day I and Unity Day II, potential new members will be visiting all 10 of UCSB's amazing houses to gain a glimpse of sorority life in general. As rush week progresses, the number of houses you will attend will be narrowed down based on mutual selection.
Wednesday, September 21 (House Tours Day)
Throughout House Tours Day, you will visit fewer chapters, touring each of their homes. You will have the opportunity to meet more active members, ask any additional questions you may have, and gain further insight into what each chapter represents.
Thursday, September 22 (Greek Pillar Day)
On Greek Pillar Day, you will visit fewer houses to be presented with their Standards, Scholarship, Sisterhood and Service pillars. You will meet more active members, making your ability to sense where you feel most comfortable even easier!
Friday, September 23 (Preference Night)
On Preference Night, you will spend a longer amount of time at your favorite houses. This evening is more formal than previous days and is very sentimental. It will be your final look at the chapters before you both decide which sorority is the right match for you.
Saturday, September 24 (Bid Day)
On Saturday morning, you will receive a bid from a chapter asking you to join their sisterhood. Once you receive this invitation, you and the other new members of your sorority will meet up with the active members. Get ready for a fun day of activities with your new sisters!
Recommendations:
Any Alpha Chi Alumna may write a recommendation for a potential new member going through formal recruitment. Although recommendations are not required, current Alpha Chi members utilize these recommendations as a chance to get to know these young women before they arrive for recruitment.
