Orientation,

The recruitment process begins Monday, August 17th. Parents are invited to attend a brief orientation session at 2:00 PM. Sorority women will be on hand to provide information on the Nebraska Greek System and the recruitment process. There will be an opportunity to ask questions. Orientation for potential new members begins at 6:00 PM.

That evening, you will get a glimpse of all campus chapters participating in formal recruitment, as well as other chapters that will participate in open recruitment and deferred recruitment throughout the year. This is your introduction to the entire Greek community-an opportunity to see how membership can enhance your stay at Nebraska. The President and Recruitment Chair from each sorority will give an overview of their chapter. The atmosphere is very casual.
