Primary Recruitment
Primary recruitment occurs at the beginning of fall semester and includes orientation events, several recruitment rounds and the beloved bid day tradition. Primary recruitment registration for fall 2025 will begin May 1.
Continuous Open Bidding
This is an informal process that takes place following primary recruitment. The COB period is designed in a way that allows potential members the opportunity to become acquainted or re-acquainted with different chapters on campus. There is no registration cost associated with COB.
Continuous Open Bidding Available Now
Continuous Open Bidding (COB) is a casual, unstructured and mutual selection process. Participation is not an offer nor a guarantee of membership. Membership selection is the sole discretion of each sorority and its members and is not influenced or controlled by the Mizzou Panhellenic Association, Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life or The University of Missouri.
The following application is sent to all participating chapters.
