Like at any campus, she'll need good grades, been active in high school clubs, volunteer in the community and be of good character. I don't know if recs are needed there. The Greek life office can answer that question for you.

What will happen is over the course of those September days she will attend parties (events in recruitment talk) at those chapters. On the first day, all the PNMs (potential new members) go to all the chapters. Then the PNMs will rank each group according to the ones they liked the most and turn that into Panhellenic (campus org that runs recruitment). Then the chapters will issue invitations for the second day to the PNMs they want to get to know better. The number that each group can invite is dictated by Panhellenic, based on a formula called RFM (release figures method) that is used by all campuses with National Panhellenic Conference chapters.

Those invitations are then given out to the PNMs based on the ranking she did, the number of events she is allowed to attend that day and which groups invoted her back. So, if she can attend 4 events and received 5 invitations, all from the groups she listed in her top 5, she would not get the one she ranked at #5. She would get her top 4 choices. If she didn't get an invote from one she ranked higher, then she would get her 4 highest ranked groups. And on thru the week till the end at Bid Day.

Yes, some women may be totally released. Usually because they don't meet the GPA recruitments. All chapters have a minimum GPA they have set in concert with their national organizations. Anyone falling below that is usually released the first day. A few exception may be made but we generally don't know that as it is private membership selection (MS) information.We want women who can meet the demands of membership while keeping their grades at an acceptable level for us, them and their parents!
