What is New Member Recruitment?
Recruitment is the process of mutual selection through which interested individuals join a sorority. Potential New Members (PNMs) meet members from every chapter and decide which sorority is the best fit for them. Membership recruitment consists of three rounds of events: Open House/Hall Night, Community Involvement Night, and Preference. More information can be found about each event below in the recruitment schedule.

Why Go Greek?
Whether you are just beginning your college experience at Transylvania or are a returning upperclassman, going through recruitment is a great experience. It's a fun time on campus during which many new friendships are made and the Greek community gets the opportunity to show off all that it has to offer.

Becoming a part of a Greek organization means gaining access to great opportunities for leadership, philanthropy and friendship. Some of its benefits include philanthropy and community service events, social activities, academic scholarships, a supportive home environment, a national network of sisters, close friendships, and also memories that last a lifetime! All sorority women on Transylvania's campus have diverse interests and backgrounds, but ultimately each share a rallying spirit, a foundation of mutual respect and lifelong sisterhood.
​​
Tri Delta encourages all women to go through recruitment. Even if you think you don't want to join a sorority, it's an awesome chance to meet a wonderful group of students on campus and to learn about the different sororities at Transylvania.
