Sorority Life

A sorority is a group of women joined by ideals and interests for fellowship. Being in a sorority means encompassing yourself with passionate, strong, and confident women who have your best interest at heart. Sororities provide a home, activities and a sense of community to young women during their college years. They can give young women a great social circle and academic, leadership, and career opportunities.

Panhellenic Council

The Panhellenic Council (PHC) is the governing body for the five Greek social sororities on campus. PHC serves to assist all the sororities in developing stronger inter-sorority relations, sisterhood relations and providing service and educational opportunities to their members.

Panhellenic Council meets on Wednesday at 7:15 PM during the regular semester.

Recruitment

Primary (Fall)

Primary recruitment is a mutual selection process that seeks to pair potential new members with sororities that best reflect their values and morals. Deciding whether or not to join a sorority can be overwhelming and exciting all at the same time or maybe it is just not something you had ever thought of before. Honestly, that is totally normal and most of our current members fit into that category! Our goal throughout the recruitment process is to show you what Sorority Life at UW Oshkosh is all about and to see if it is something that is a good fit for you!

Secondary (Spring)

Unlike Primary Recruitment, continuous open bidding (COB) traditionally takes place during the spring, however, can occur at any time when a chapter falls below the maximum total. It is not a guarantee that all chapters will be actively recruiting during the spring semester. During informal recruitment, instead of having large events on campus, potential new members are usually asked to join various sisterhood activities and campus events with several members of a chapter. Where this is an alternative recruitment option, the chapter rosters may be full at this time and therefore it is not guaranteed you will be able to be recruited by your preferred chapter at this time.

Letter From Our Panhellenic VP of Recruitment

Hey, Titans! 

I’m so glad you’ve decided to come to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh—welcome to your new home! I’m even more thrilled that you’re thinking about going through recruitment and joining the FSL community. This is the beginning of such an exciting journey, and if you’re feeling a little bit of everything—excited, nervous, hopeful—you’re not alone.

No matter if you’ve always pictured yourself in a sorority or decided to sign up last minute, just trust the process. You’ll end up exactly where you’re meant to be. I know that sounds cliché, but it’s so true. When I went through recruitment two years ago, I had no idea I’d one day be on the other side, helping plan recruitment for the entire Panhellenic community. It’s all thanks to the leadership opportunities I found in my chapter, the people who encouraged me, and the experiences that helped me grow into who I am today. I truly want that kind of experience for each of you. If you ever have questions about recruitment, or if you just need someone to remind you that taking this leap is brave and so worth it, please reach out to us on the Sorority Life Instagram (@uwo_sororitylife) we’re always here and happy to chat. The friendships you’ll build, the skills you’ll gain, and the memories you’ll make will impact your life in ways you can’t even imagine yet. I can’t wait for you to experience it all!

Vice President of Panhellenic Recruitment
