Fall Formal Recruitment

Fall Formal Recruitment is the process of gaining new chapter members at UNL sororities. As a potential new member you will have an opportunity to get acquainted with members of different chapters on campus and ask questions about each sorority and what it has to offer. Just as sororities are looking for

the right women to join their chapters, you should be looking for a chapter that fits you. Each sorority has something unique to offer and with many chapters at Nebraska , you will be able to find a group of women with whom you can identify. If you choose to join a sorority, your membership will continue through a series of phases: pledging, initiation, active membership and alumnae membership after college.

Fall Formal Recruitment is a four-day process. You are required to participate in all scheduled events. Formal recruitment usually takes place the week prior to the first day of classes. You will be able to move into the residence halls prior to school starting.

As Fall Formal Recruitment continues, individual sororities invite prospective members to their sessions based on criteria specific to each chapter. The number of sessions you attend is reduced daily, allowing you to spend more time at those sororities in which there is a mutual interest. Every attempt is made to help you have a positive experience.

Ready for Recuitment 2004 During the week of Fall Formal Recruitment you will have a Recruitment Guide who can answer questions about recruitment, sorority experiences, and college life in general. These Recruitment Counselors are members of sorority chapters who have been chosen to help you. More than 90 percent of the young women completing Fall
Formal Recruitment pledge a chapter. To gain the most from Fall Formal Recruitment, you are encouraged to keep an open mind and avoid making premature decisions. Just follow your heart and realize that no matter where you end up, it will be a wonderful experience!

Bid Day

Bid Day is the first chance for us to meet our new pledge class and for them to get to know us. It takes place the Friday of recruitment week. Joining a sorority is a life-changing decision, and we want the wonderful young women to know they've made the right choice. The afternoon and evening is filled with group photos, games and socializing.

Bid Day Picnic 2004

Every year we go somewhere fun for Bid Day. For Bid Day 2006, we went to P.O. Pears downtown. The Kappa Deltas—new and old—had a blast eating,
playing volleyball, and getting to know each other!


Congratulations to our 2006 Pledge Class!
