if you are wanting to join a npc sorority, the usual procedure is to register during the summer thru the ua panhellenic council for formal recruitment. this involves a registration form and a fee. you attend organized parties the week before school begins for the fall semester. the first set of parties, all pnms(potential new members=rushees=girls who want to join a sorority) visit each of the npc chapters on a set schedule. after the first set of parties has concluded ,the pnms decide which sororities they would like to visit again, and the sororities decide who they would like to invite back-the lists are compared by panhellenic and the computer spits out a list of the pnms invitations for the next round of parties. each day the amount of parties decrease and the length of the parties increase. the pnms make their decisions on who to return to and the sororities decide who they want to see again. the last day of recruitment is preferentials. it is a very serious party where the sorority shares a glimpse of their ritual with the pnms. the day after prefs. is bid day, the day the pnms discover which sorority has extended them an invitation to join. the sororities each hold parties to celebrate the occasion with their brand new members .
your first step would be to visit the ua website, go to greeklife and then to the panhellenic page. there should be lots of information to help you understand how the process works at bama. greekchat has loads of threads that have great tips for girls considering formal recruitment-there are general information threads that are helpful and then college specific threads.
you can also visit each of the bama sororities chapter websites-most have them- and learn what they are involved in at bama and visit each sorority's national website to learn a little more about them. good luck!
