On my campus, Panhellenic will come out in, like, early february and offer applications to anyone interested in being a Rho Chi. I think the application was just about your experience in leadership positions and the reasons you would like to be a Rho Chi/why you think Rho Chis are important. Then, if you are chosen for an interview, you meet with the Panhellenic VP for Recruitment and the Greek Affairs Coordinator/Advisor, who ask you about different scenarios you might have to face and how you would deal with them. After interviews, they sit down and say, "okay, we need X amount of Rho Chis" and choose the most qualified people, usually taking 2-4 per sorority. They usually accept 2-3 extra Rho Chis in case someone drops out or gets asked to resign (usually happens if you miss too many training session). Finally, we spend the rest of the semester, all of the summer and the beginning of the next fall training, fundraising, and basically becoming the best representatives of Panhel that we can possibly be.
It's a WHOLE LOT of work, but you really come to appriciate your sisters (since you can't spend time with them or any other sorority members) and your fellow Rho Chis. You also break down alot of the stereotypes/animosities you may have about/for other chapters. It's been an amazing experience so far and I just hope that this week keeps with my expectations.
