  • Engage them in discussions of their personal values and how those values will better inform their decision-making.
  • Counsel them through the recruitment process by finding effective ways to help them reason how their values connect with each chapter.
  • Encourage them to keep an open mind throughout the process and to approach each chapter as a group that could develop them personally.
  • Stay in contact with each PNM to provide support and guidance that will contribute to her retention throughout the recruitment process.
  • Serve as a positive contact and sorority role model before, during, and after recruitment.

Responsibilities to the director of recruitment counselors:

  • Be present during all training sessions by actively participating in activities and providing insightful comments.
  • Act with dignity and pride as a representative of the entire Panhellenic community.
  • Be a team player and enthusiastic volunteer to assist with recruitment promotion and implementation tasks.
  • Complete all logistical duties required, which could include assisting PNMs as they travel between recruitment locations, explaining recruitment procedures, assisting with data entry, contacting PNMs who do not arrive on time, and so on.

Responsibilities to the Panhellenic community:

  • Model the way by providing the PNMs the utmost customer service.
  • Become an advocate for the entire fraternity/sorority community through upholding the values of the Panhellenic Creed and the College Panhellenic code of ethics.
