Sorority Recruitment

For MIT students, there are many opportunities to get to know sorority women and to see the vast network of support that our sororities give their members. When you speak to sorority women at MIT, you'll find that that they come from all different backgrounds, have various interests and hobbies, and certainly don't fit in with the stereotypes of "Sorority Girls" common to TV and movies.

Students’ best chance to discover all that a sorority can offer occurs at the end of the Independent Activities Period (IAP) each January. This is Panhellenic's formal recruitment period, when each sorority plans a weekend of events designed to allow you to get to know the individual groups. At the end of that weekend, each sorority formally invites a group of women to become their newest members. It's an exciting time for current and prospective sorority members, and is a good way to see each group all at once, to make an informed decision about membership. Any female student- freshmen and upperclassmen- are encouraged to attend, and should plan to return to MIT prior to the end of IAP to participate fully!
