Signing the Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement

The members of the National Panhellenic Conference want every potential new member to be informed about her
options for joining a women’s fraternity. To be certain that each woman has this information, this script must be used
immediately prior to signing the membership recruitment acceptance binding agreement. The script may be used for
either a two- or three-Preference event schedule.

Good evening. You have just completed some of the busiest days of your college career. Now you have the opportunity
to make a decision that will broaden your college experience and introduce you to a nationwide network of friends.
Please carefully consider the following points as you complete your membership recruitment acceptance binding
agreement.
1. Your options when considering your agreement are:
• Youmany choose notto complete an agreement atthistime.
• Youmay choose to list any sororitywhose preference (last) event you attended and fromwhomyou are
willing to accept an invitation to membership (a bid).
• Youmay choose to list onlyone preference, but youmust understand thatthiswill limit yourpotentialto
join any other NPC group during formal recruitment should you not be placed with your single (only)
choice.
2. When you sign this acceptance agreement, you are agreeing to accept an invitation to membership from any NPC
fraternity/sorority that you have listed.
3. Once the acceptance agreement has been turned in to the representative of the College Panhellenic Association, it
cannot be altered or changed.
4. If you receive an invitation to membership (a bid) from any NPC group that you have listed, and you choose not to
accept it, you may not pledge any other NPC women’s fraternity/sorority on the campus until the beginning of the
next primary recruitment period. [Explain the Unanimous Agreements and show the NPC Manual of Information,
18th Edition. Then read III: The Panhellenic Compact, No. 4.]

If you do not receive an invitation to membership (a bid) from any NPC group that you have listed, you are eligible for
continuous open bidding. You must understand that not all NPC groups will have available places for new members.
