We
have a lot of exciting things going on for Recruitment during
the 2007-2008 School Year. Both IFC and Panhel are putting
on new programs and events to help make campus aware of all
the positive aspects of going Greek. Visit the events page
to see what is going on for recruitment!
PANHEL RECRUITMENT
Spring 2008
The fall semester is coming to a close which
means Sorority Formal Recruitment planning and registration
is at full steam. Thanks to all the women who attended our
second Panhel Desserts and signed up for recruitment. Its
not too late to get signed up, please visit our site for Online
Registration and then contact JQ
Williams our recruitment coordinator for more information.
FRATERNITY RECRUITMENT
Spring 2008
Recruitment
for the fraternities is less structured then the sororities.
However that doesn't mean you should wait to get signed up.
You can come to the CPO Office (3rd Floor KC) and fill out
a grade card to get signed up. That way the fraternities will
know you are interested in going Greek. Any questions call
x0433 and ask for Sam.
There
are many reason to go Greek... Here is some additional information
on going Greek:
SCHOLARSHIP
The first and foremost priority of Albion College is academic
excellence, and helping members achieve this is a primary
objective of the Greek community. Each sorority places
strong emphasis on academic performance. Upon joining
a chapter, you should not worry that your grades will drop
because you do not get enough study time! Greeks help
their new members develop study skills through scholarship
programs and individual help. The incentives and support
offered by the chapters help all members achieve and maintain
high academic standards. As a result of these efforts,
the Greek grade point average consistently remains above the
all-campus averages!
BROTHER
/ SISTERHOOD
Greek membership brings lasting friend-ships that continue
throughout your life. The chapter becomes a “home
away from home” for many students. Members share
friendships that are a special bond unlike any other.
Brothers and Sisters share their joys and disappointments,
learn and grow together, and appreciate the loyalty of friends,
and sisters that they know will always be there.
LEADERSHIP
Membership in a Greek organization is one of the best ways
you can discover and refine your leadership skills.
Within each chapter, members may assume a variety of leadership
roles ranging from chairing committees to holding major offices.
Chapters provide leadership opportunities for members who
will become respected professionals and community leaders
after graduation.
PHILANTHROPY
So you get a chance to do some good for the community and
other people too, and it looks good on a resume, right?
But that is not what it is all about. Philanthropy is
the giving of time, service, and money, and is an important
part of every Greek chapter. During the year, sorority
women strive to strengthen their relationship with the community
by increasing individual member involvement in worthwhile
community and campus events. Each chapter sponsors at
least one philanthropy during the academic year. These
include Aid to the Blind and Sight Conservation, Domestic
Violence, Choose Children, Court Appointed Special Advocates,
National Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse, Children’s
Hospital (in Richmond, Virginia), Project Hope, and Children’s
Miracle Network. These projects are a wonderful opportunity
to have a good time with your Brothers and Sisters as well
as making a difference in the community.
ACTIVITIES
One of the most exciting aspects of Greek life is the social
experience it offers. Formals, theme parties, homecoming
events, intramural sports, Anchorsplash, Derby Days, and of
course Greek Week are examples of the social opportunities
sorority women share. These activities are not only
fun for the members; they bond sorority members together as
a family and build unity within the entire Greek community.
These shared experiences will make your collegiate years,
and those to follow, a most rewarding experience.
