Open Recruitment

Open recruitment which is also known as COB, is another way to join the Panhellenic community at UNL. Open recruitment is held throughout the academic year beginning after primary recruitment in the fall and continuing through the fall and spring semesters.

WHICH CHAPTERS PARTICIPATE IN OPEN RECRUITMENT?

Chapters may participate voluntarily, depending on the size and needs of the chapter. Not all chapters who participate in the fall also participate in the spring and vice versa. Some chapters may choose to host invitation-only events while others may choose to publicize their open recruitment activities. We encourage you to check out each chapter’s website and social media for information about their events, or who to contact if you are interested in joining that organization.

HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR OPEN RECRUITMENT?

To apply for open recruitment, you must complete the online recruitment registration. Chapters will have access to the list of women who have completed this form. It is up to the individual chapter's discretion to contact women who have expressed interest through this form.

WHAT HAPPENS AT OPEN RECRUITMENT EVENTS?

Open recruitment events are often informal activities planned and held by each sorority. Many chapters will host dinner, coffee dates, or just hang out. This is a chance for the chapter to get to know you and for you to get to know the women in the chapter, so be yourself and have fun!
