A letter from our
VP of Recruitment
Dear Potential New Members,
Welcome to the Panhellenic Association at the University of Maryland, College Park!
As the Vice President of Recruitment, I am thrilled to introduce you to the incredible opportunities and lifelong friendships that Pangellenic life has to offer. This is an exciting time, and I am so happy that you are considering joining our community.
The recruitment process is a time for you to explore, connect and discover where you feel at home. My biggest piece of advice is to be yourself. As cliche as it is, each chapter is looking to welcome individuals who align with their values, but more importantly, who bring their own unique qualities to the community. Keep an open mind, embrace the experience and trust the process– you might just find a sisterhood that will support and uplift you throughout your college years and beyond.
While finding the right chapter is important, the beauty of the Panhellenic experience extends far beyond individual letters. This community is built on shared values of scholarship, service, leadership and friendship. No matter where you find your home, you will be surrounded by empowering, driven women who will inspire and support you throughout your college journey. The connections you make– with fellow Potential New Members, Rho Gammas, and members of every chapter– will shape your experience in more ways you may not yet realize.
Choosing to go through recruitment was one of the best decisions I ever made. The friendships, leadership opportunities, and personal growth I have gained through Panhellenic life have shaped me into the person I am today. Being part of this community has not only given me a sense of belonging but has also pushed me to become a better friend, student, and leader. I am so excited for you to embark on this journey and see where it leads you!
​
I can’t wait to meet you all soon! In the meantime, I encourage you to explore our website, attend recruitment events, and learn more about what Panhellenic life can offer you. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out at umdrecruitment@gmail.com.

With love,
