2021 Formal Recruitment Schedule

The tentative dates of 2021 Panhellenic Recruitment are outlined below. These dates are subject to change as we learn more about updated safety protocols for COVID-19. We are planning a hybrid recruitment with a combination of virtual and in person rounds in accordance with TCU and CDC guidelines. For those who are uncomfortable participating in in-person rounds there will be an option to complete the recruitment process virtually. Additional details will be added and updates will be posted on our website and Instagram as we receive more information.

Move-in day and Bag Pick Up

In order to secure the August 14th move-in date, Potential New Members should register for Panhellenic Recruitment by Friday, July 30th. If you register after this, we can not guarantee that you will be given the move-in slot before Panhellenic Recruitment. Potential New Members can drop by any time between 8:30pm and 11:00pm on August 14th in the Campus Commons to pick up your PNM bag. These bags must be picked up during this time since they contain required items for Panhellenic Recruitment.

2021 Recruitment Schedule (All dates are tentative and

Round 1- August 11th

This round will be completely virtual and should be done from home. Due to safety concerns related to COVID-19 and the limited time available for Panhellenic Recruitment, Open House Round/Round 1 of Panhellenic Recruitment will not include conversations between chapter members and Potential New Members. Each PNM will watch an informative video from each chapter and use this information to make Round 1 preferences.

In order to allow the chapters to get to know our Potential New Members a bit better and make their Round 1 decisions, PNMs will submit a PNM Personality Slide according to the instructions provided by the Panhellenic Council upon registration.

Round 2- August 15th-17th

This round of recruitment will ideally consist of in-person conversations between chapter members and Potential New Members, however we are preparing for the possibility of virtual conversations if needed. Attire for Rounds 2 and 3 is casual. You will wear one of the two Panhellenic Recruitment t-shirts which will be provided at PNM Bag Pick Up. We recommend wearing comfortable shorts or a skirt and sturdy shoes with the recruitment t-shirt

Round 3- 18th-19th

Preference Round- August 20th

This round of recruitment will ideally consist of in-person conversations between chapter members and Potential New Members, however we are preparing for the possibility of virtual conversations if needed. Since Round 4 is more special and ceremonial, you will want to wear nicer attire like a dress, pant suit/romper, or blouse and skirt. Think cocktail attire, business professional dresses, or dressing for a nice Sunday brunch. Outfits for Round 4 are most often worn with flats, wedges, or heel

Scheduling Conflicts

Orientation

If you are participating in Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment, you can attend any orientation session in June or July (sessions 1-12).

For transfer students, you may attend either transfer session A or B as they will not interfere with Panhellenic Recruitment.

Frog Camp

Frog Camp Challenge occurs at the same time as Sorority Recruitment, so please register for a different Frog Camp. You will not receive a special schedule if you sign up for Frog Camp Challenge.

Special Schedules

For PNMs who have a conflict with recruitment due to conflicts with a TCU athletic schedule, ROTC, or other TCU activity, we are usually able to arrange a special schedule.

Please email TCUpanhellpres@gmail.com if you believe you qualify and need to arrange a special schedule. Please note that special schedules are not made until immediately before the recruitment start date. You will not receive your schedule until that time. Please email TCUpanhellpres@gmail.com prior to registering to confirm your university activity will qualify for a special schedule.
