Frequently Asked Questions About Recruitment
Who is eligible for Recruitment?
Any full-time GW student is eligible for
recruitment. The Panhellenic Association has a minimum GPA
requirement of 2.3 (cumulative).
How do I register for Recruitment?
Contact the George Washington Greek Life
Office by phone at (202) 994-6555 or via e-mail greeks@gwu.edu.
The office will provide you with recruitment registration
and information materials.
How many reference letters do I need?
A reference letter can be a letter of
recommendation from any sorority woman, sent to the chapters
that you will attending during formal recruitment. You are
not required to have letters of reference to participate in
recruitment. It is strongly recommended that you take the
time to get reference letters, however. Why? Because any
extra information about you is helpful. Letters of reference
help the chapter get to know you. The responsibility for
providing reference letters rests with alumnae of each
sorority on campus.
What do I do if I am a legacy?
Alpha Phi considers a legacy to be a sister,
daughter, stepdaughter, or granddaughter of an Alpha Phi. To
be acknowledged as a legacy, the Alpha Phi must complete a
legacy information form, and send it to the chapter.
How much time does a sorority take?
All sororities have a chapter meeting every
week. There, members receive information on chapter events
and participate in sorority activities. New members have
separate weekly meetings to learn more about their new
sororities. As a member of a sorority, you will have access
to a host of activites: From study sessions, informational
programs and community service to sisterhood events, chapter
retreats, parties, mixers, formals and so much more. After
all, the more you put into your new sorority, the more
you'll get out of it.
How much is a sorority going to cost?
On average, the new member semester is the
most expensive, due to several one-time fees. After
initiation, the dues are reduced for the remaining
semesters. Each sorority has its own dues structure. In
Alpha Phi, dues are inclusive and cover all recruitment,
social, sisterhood and philanthropy activities. Dues exclude
items like T-shirts, jewelry, and other miscellaneous items.
The average cost for a sorority is $400 a semester.
