The Collegiate Panhellenic Council is the governing body of the eight National Panhellenic Conference affiliated sororities at the University of North Texas. Panhellenic is an organization established to foster interfraternal relationships, to help collegiate chapters of the National Panhellenic Conference member groups, and to assist in maintaining the highest scholastic and social standards. The council enables the sororities to work together more effectively on campus.

The individual organizations are dedicated to personal development, academic achievement, leadership growth, and service to the campus and community. Activities may include community service projects, educational programs, leadership training, study halls, sisterhood retreats, intramural sports and fraternity mixers. Above all, sororities foster close friendships that will last through college and beyond. Panhellenic meets weekly to discuss the current issues facing the Fraternity and Sorority Community, plan upcoming events, and serve as a link between UNT administration and individual organizations.

Panhellenic Creed

"We, as Undergraduate Members of women's fraternities, stand for scholarship, for the guarding of good health, for the maintenance of fine standards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our college community. Cooperation for furthering fraternity life, in harmony, with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities.

We, as Fraternity Women, stand for service through the development of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live."

How to Join

 

Fall Primary Recruitment

Panhellenic sororities participate in formal primary recruitment.  Primary recruitment is a week-long event that ends with Bid Day celebrations.  Incoming freshmen will have an opportunity to learn about Panhellenic Recruitment and each individual chapter through  New Student Orientation and First Flight Week.

The 2023 Formal Recruitment experience will take place from August 17th - 21st.

Registration is REQUIRED to participate and early registration is highly encouraged.  Early-bird registration will open on April 1st and registration costs $35.  regular registration will begin on June 1st and costs $50. Late registration will cost $65 and will begin August 1st. So register early! This registration fee goes towards reservations, recruitment software, and other supplies needed to conduct recruitment.  


Panhellenic Continuous Open Bidding (COB). 

The Continuous Open Bidding period is only for a select few chapters. Women that withdrew from the formal period prior to MRABA signing and women that have not participated in formal recruitment are eligible to participate. If you did not register for the formal recruitment period, please sign up here

Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment Book
The 2022 Recruitment Book contains a schedule, general membership and financial information, and suggestions on the appropriate attire for the Fall 2022 Primary Recruitment process.  This will be released at a later date.  You can access previous lookbooks  here.  Please note currently this schedule is subject to change.


Spring Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment Opportunities
UNT Panhellenic does not have formal or informal Spring recruitment. During the Spring semester chapters with membership opportunities will participate in a process referred to as Continuous Open Bidding (COB).  Chapters will individually host events or invite you to get to know the chapter. These events are usually casual and provide a fun and relaxed environment where you will be able to get to know one another before potentially joining the organization.

NOTE: Not all chapters will be participating in COB or have membership opportunities.  Feel free to contact the Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life or the Panhellenic VP of Recruitment of Retention for more information regarding COB.
**Chapters participating in COB will not be known until late Fall and closer to the Spring semester.


It is important to know that not all chapters participate in COB. If you don't find a chapter you feel fits you, you can participate in Primary Recruitment in the Fall.

Recommendation Letters/Forms

You have the opportunity to submit a recommendation from an alumna member of that sorority before the sorority can offer her membership. A recommendation simply introduces a woman to a sorority to help the sorority members become acquainted with her prior to recruitment.  All recommendation letters/forms can be mailed directly to the individual chapter or to UNT Panhellenic for distribution to the chapter. Recommendation letters/forms are not required in order to participate in recruitment.
Each national sorority has its own guidelines and often its own recommendation forms that its alumna members must use. The UNT Panhellenic Association does not provide these forms nor any information regarding an individual sorority's recommendation requirements. If an alumna is not familiar with her own sorority's regulations, she should contact the national sorority.

Where recommendations letters should be sent

Recommendations should be sent directly to the chapters at UNT. Recommendation letters sent directly to the Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life will be discarded. You may find where to send your recommendations below.
