- Formal Recruitment | Virginia ISC
Formal Recruitment Formal recruitment is a four-round process that places over 1,000 women into 14 sororities. During each round, potential new members (PNMs) meet sorority women from each chapter and learn about each chapter’s values and character. With each round, PNMs visit fewer houses as they determine where they are best suited. After a mutual matching process, PNMs receive a bid card from one of two sororities the PNM visited in the preferential round. Throughout recruitment, PNMs and sorority women are not allowed to talk to each other outside rounds to ensure equal treatment. If you have any questions regarding recruitment, please contact our VP of Recruitment for PNM Affairs, Madeleine Stigall, at uxe5uz@virginia.edu .

- Informal Recruitment and COBs | Virginia ISC
Informal Recruitment and COBs Continuous Open Bidding (COB) is an opportunity for chapters to recruit members at any time of the year, also known as informal recruitment. Informal recruitment activities can vary in style, but are generally shorter and less structured than the formal recruitment process. The majority of members will be added through the spring formal recruitment process. Note: Those who de-pledge after signing the membership recruitment acceptance binding agreement are not eligible to attend and may not accept another bid until the next formal recruitment period. If you have any questions about informal recruitment, please email the zvice President of Recruitment for PNM Affairs, Madeleine Stigall, at uxe5uz@virginia.edu .
- About Us | Virginia ISC
About Us We are the largest group of women on Grounds with over 3,000 members in 14 Panhellenic sororities. The ISC at the University of Virginia strives to uphold the values of integrity, loyalty, compassion, and humility, upon which our organizations were founded. ISC involvement enhances the experience of all ISC women by providing resources and opportunities for scholarship, leadership, service, and social development in an atmosphere conducive to friendship and sisterhood. Recruitment One of the most recognized functions of ISC is overseeing the process of Recruitment each year. Potential new members are invited to consider sorority membership through two different intake processes: Informal and Formal Recruitment. Informal Recruitment occurs year-round through Continuous Open Bidding. Formal Recruitment takes place immediately following Winter Break. This second-semester intake process is more structured, extensive, and is our primary method of attaining new members. Non-Affiliation Although this organization has members who are University of Virginia students and may have University employees associated or engaged in its activities and affairs, the organization is not a part of or an agency of the University. It is a separate and independent organization that is responsible for and manages its own activities and affairs. The University does not direct, supervise or control the organization and is not responsible for the organization’s contracts, acts or omissions. Mission Statement The mission of the Inter-Sorority Council is the empowerment of a diverse group of women through the promotion of accessibility, academic excellence, inclusivity, sisterhood, wellness, and mutual respect and accountability. We strive to uphold the Inter-Sorority Council’s historic tenets of support and service by connecting with local and national causes to generate a positive impact on the University of Virginia, the Charlottesville community, and organizations on a national scale. Through the promotion of these values, the Inter-Sorority Council seeks to create a network of support and an environment of growth, as well as inspiring community action. Panhellenic Creed We, as Undergraduate Members of women’s fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our college community. Cooperation for furthering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities. We, as Fraternity Women, stand for service through the development of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live.

FAQs Do I need letters of recommendation for Recruitment? I know people say they aren’t mandatory, but will they help me? By no means are letters of recommendation necessary. Every chapter takes recommendations into consideration differently. Most letters of recommendation can be submitted online through the local chapters' websites or their national headquarters' websites. If you have recommendations, you can find the instructions to submit them for each chapter on their websites, which are listed under the "About Us" tab. Is it possible to play a varsity sport and be in a sorority at the same time? It’s definitely possible! Plenty of varsity athletes are sorority women. Sorority membership is what you make of it. You can as involved as you would like to be by taking on leadership positions and participating in chapter events, or just attend weekly meetings and activities. In terms of recruitment, sororities are very understanding when games or practices conflict with formal recruitment rounds. You will handle recruitment conflicts closer to the start of formal recruitment with your recruitment counselor. I started to fill out the registration form and it asked for my current GPA/Hours completed. What do I put there exactly since I’m a first-year? You can put 0 and 0.0 for your GPA. That is mostly there for upperclassmen. The ISC conducts grade checks during winter break, so we will manually add in everyone’s GPA. Keep in mind the ISC strongly recommends at least a 2.0 to participate in recruitment. Is it possible for students in the UVA School of Continuing and Professional Studies to join a sorority even if they don’t live in Charlottesville? Unfortunately, students in the SCPS are not permitted to join a sorority or participate in recruitment. According to national standards, students must be regularly matriculated in order to be eligible to pledge a sorority or fraternity. For those of us attending UVA on financial aid, is it unrealistic to participate in Recruitment when we do not have the financial resources to be in a sorority? Are there ways to alleviate financial hardships and participate? There are definitely ways, available from both the ISC and from the individual chapters. Sorority dues are a significant financial responsibility. The average dues for the first semester are around $1,200 but will drop by several hundred dollars (and will remain consistent) for your remaining three years. Visit the Financial Transparency Page for more details about a specific chapter's dues. Each chapter offers different scholarships. You will be given information from each chapter about these opportunities during recruitment. For information about ISC scholarships, please contact our VP of Finance, Emma Hardwich, at uvaiscvpf@gmail.com . When filling out the recruitment enrollment form, should the activities we list be only from this year (ie first semester for first years), or can we include things from high school? Most people just put activities that you are involved in at UVA. You also may include activities from high school, too. Please note somewhere in the box which ones are high school activities. Does the ISC plan on making any changes to recruitment so pledge classes can accommodate the greater amounts of women participating in recruitment? Every woman who registers for Formal Recruitment is eligible to receive a bid, no matter how many women register for recruitment. The maximum number of women that chapters are allowed to invite back for each round depends on the number of women participating in recruitment and is adjusted after every round. Similarly, the number of women that chapters extend bids to depends on the number of women participating in recruitment through the end of the Preferences round. Chapter pledge class sizes are based on the number of women receiving and accepting bids, not on any arbitrary number set by the ISC. As more women register for and participate in Formal Recruitment, we expect all chapters to see increasingly larger pledge classes. Is it tough rushing for a second time? No. Going through recruitment for a second time does not make it a more difficult process. If anything, you may find it easier now that you know how recruitment works and know more of the sisters in our chapters. It is always a relief to see a familiar face during a recruitment party!
