Belmont Rush?

[pam713]

My niece is a freshman at Belmont this year, as well. Although she ultimately decided not to go through recruitment, we tried to do a little research about it. From what we have been able to figure out, the chapters are not very big, but pretty active. It seems that recruitment certainly won't be as competitive as Vanderbilt across the way there, but if you have any recommendations, it can't hurt to send them in. Call or stop by the Panhellenic office to get more details about the recruitment schedule. They may send you an email, as well. Good luck!!!

This.

When all else fails, contact the Greek Life office.

Good luck, and let us know how things turn out

Hello!

Keep in mind, you probably have to register or something for recruitment, so make sure you look into doing that!

Please keep us posted! I am really interested to hear what happens!

There will be a Formal interest meeting on September 16th location is TBA right now. I would advise going to each sororities website to learn more information about them. However you will only learn surface level information, going through recruitment is the best way to really learn about each chapter and which one you will best suit you. Unfortunately since recruitment is a little bit later this year recruitment hasn't been widely advertised.

To answer some of your questions Belmont's recruitment is becoming a bit more competitive each year, due to the increase in the freshman class. In saying that it is still no where near as competitive as a large university. Recs are not required, but it wouldn't hurt to have them. Not having a rec will in no way lessen your chance of receiving a bid. On average only like 2% or less of the girls going through recruitment actually have them so dont worry.

The chapters at Belmont are a fairly good size considering its a small school. The chapters range from 60-65 members. We don't have houses therefore recruitment will be held in different rooms on campus like the Massey Boardroom and Beaman A&B. You you attend the parties in a group so dont worry about getting lost. Each night of recruitment will start and end in the Beaman since it is a central location. Only having three chapters doesn't lessen your chances of getting a bid

recruitment structure:

• On the 16th each girl will be put into a rho gam group. We will have one or two meeting before recruitment starts in order to further explain the process and get to know each other.
• Starting the 22nd you WILL attend 3 parties. This is Open House/Philanthropy Night
• The next night is Sisterhood night and you WILL attend 3 parties
• Thursday is skit night you can attend UP to three parties but just like at every other school unfortunately not every girl will have a full schedule.
• The last night is Pref night and you can attend UP to two parties.

I am a Rho Gamma (its like a TT leader but for recruitment) at Belmont this year so please message me with any questions you may have. Look forward to hearing from you!!

Seems like everyone covered the advice pretty well, but had to say what a lovely campus Belmont has. My cousin went there and we went down for her graduation. Both Belmont and Vanderbilt are just beautiful.

When I joined a sorority, my cousin mentioned that Greek life at Belmont was quite small there but fairly active.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!
