Recruitment

What is Recruitment?

Recruitment at CWRU is an opportunity for potential new members and sorority sisters to meet each other.

This spring, formal recruitment will be held on January 24, 25, 31, and February 1.

Why Go Greek?

There are many benefits to joining a Greek organization:

Social: Sororities offer its members fun ways to meet other people, and hang out with other greek organizations. Though the social aspects of greek organizations tend to be highlighted in both positive and negative manners, sororities and fraternities offer more than just parties and socials.

Service: organizations have regular service events to help the community and other philanthropic groups.

Friendship: Greek communities offer strong friendships between members. Being in a sorority is truly a bonding experience, and those friendships made between members are lifelong.

Ritual: The bond of frienship is strengthened by the common ground of ritual. Rituals are beautiful and unique to each sorority - these rituals are the same ones that members 130 years ago performed - and it is these rituals that allow sisters to recognize that there is a commonality and equality between each sister.

Opportunities: By being a member of a sorority, you open a flowing tap of opportunities in the professional world. Job searches are greatly aided by the fact that your older sister may be working at a company where you want to work, making it much easier for you to obtain interviews and find out about job openings.

Leadership: Beyond offering "connections," having offices in a sorority (like public relations chair, service chair, or president, etc.) strengthens an individual's ability to manage time, assume responsibilities, and interact with others.

Joining a sorority can never take away from your college experience - it can only add to it. The amount you take from being a sister is directly related to how much you offer your organization. Regardless, joining a greek organization is a unique and amazing experience. We invite you to meet us during Recruitment!

People ask why I am in a sorority and I try to explain all the things a sorority is that they cannot see. 
  • A sorority is more than letters on a sweatshirt, I say. 
  • More than traditional songs, a gold pin, rituals, and obligation,
    or a way of life. 
  • A sorority is learning about people, 
  • a sorority is giving without expecting a return. 
  • A sorority is earning respect from others, as well as for yourself. 
A sorority will not solve all your problems. But I have made good friends and found confidence there to help me take life one step at a time.
