Primary Recruitment
Primary recruitment occurs at the beginning of fall semester and includes orientation events, several recruitment rounds and the beloved bid day tradition. More information about 2024 Primary Recruitment will come soon.
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.
COB Frequently Asked Questions
You do not have to participate in primary recruitment to participate in COB. It is important to note that not every Panhellenic chapter participates in COB each fall or spring.
- A potential new member (PNM) shall not be, or have ever been, an initiated member of an NPC group
- A PNM must not have signed a MRABA and received/declined a bid during the current academic year’s primary recruitment process.
- Any PNM who signed a MRABA and received a bid at the end of the primary recruitment process will be bound by that agreement until the next primary membership recruitment period in the following fall term.
