I also wanted to know exactly how recruitment works and what the chances are that I won't get into a sorority. If I didn't I would be so sad. If anyone has any info that would be great. Thanks!!

You want the honest truth? They're all amazing. Really. I have had good friends in every single one. Every chapter at KSU is great and it's a privilege to be part of any one of them.

I'd encourage you to attend Blast Off right before school starts. It's a great opportunity to meet more Greek women and learn more about recruitment and how it works.

KSU's Panhellenic has a great site that breaks down the schedule pretty well and talks about how it works. The best place for questions about how it works/what to wear/etc. is the Panhellenic VP of Recruitment.

In a nutshell, recruitment is a mutual selection process. As you are getting to know chapters, they are getting to know you and determining whether they can see you in their group.

A piece of advice: be wary of rumors regarding any chapter as they're all untrue and made up by people who aren't even part of Greek Life. It's also considered rude to discuss stereotypes and rumors about chapters (think about it: would you want someone to talk about you and how they don't like you before getting to know you? Same thing with sororities.)


As far as not getting a bid, the women who don't are the ones who are rude, or are more concerned with stereotypes than actually getting to know chapters, or are only interested in certain ones.

I have found that if a PNM has a good attitude and keeps an open mind to all chapters she meets, and is focused more on meeting people than gossip, she has a good chance to receive a bid. It's all about being positive.

Best of luck to you! Kent really is a great place to be Greek!
