How Do I Join?

The deadline to apply for sorority recruitment is July 15th. Once you are admitted to the University you will be able to access the New Student Fraternity/Sorority Application via the WAM (What About Me?) web site at http://wam.unl.edu.

Sorority recruitment is a structured week of activities that takes place usually the week before fall semester begins. To accommodate participants while they are on campus sorority applicants are allowed to move into their fall residence hall early!
           
As participants meet current members of each sorority they look for chapters with whom they feel the most comfortable. Throughout the week, sorority chapters issue invitations to the potential new members they would like to invite to their activities and the potential new members are making choices about which invitations they wish to accept. The number of invitations a potential new member can accept is reduced each day (8 invitations, 5 invitations, 3 invitations.) Immediately following the last event, potential new members list (in order of preference) the names of all chapters from which she is willing to accept an invitation (also called a bid.)

The Office of Greek Affairs then coordinates a process of matching applicant preferences with chapter membership preferences. The final day of recruitment is Bid Day when invitations for membership are issued.
