+ WHAT IS COB/WHAT DOES COB STAND FOR?

COB (Continuous Open Bidding) is an informal recruitment process that sororities who do not reach quota after Formal Recruitment will participate in. The main difference between COB and Formal Recruitment is that during COB, you do not have to meet with each chapter before committing. NOT ALL sororities will COB, so we recommend participating in Formal Recruitment to the fullest extent.

+ WHAT ARE SORORITIES LOOKING FOR?

Fraternities and sororities are committed to developing leaders, as well as personal and professional growth. During recruitment, Panhellenic chapters are looking for new members who are excited to get involved on campus/in chapter.

+ HOW MANY PANHELLENIC SORORITIES ARE AT CSUF?

There are six amazing chapters on our campus! In alphabetical order: Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Kappa, and Zeta Tau Alpha.

+ HOW DO I DECIDE WHICH CHAPTER IS BEST FOR ME?

When deciding which chapter is the best for you, ask yourself these questions to guide you:

• Which group of women can I see myself prospering with?
• Who do I feel the most comfortable going to when I need a shoulder to cry on?
• Which chapter do I consider a home away from home?

Remember that each sorority is unique and through this process you will see which chapter is the best for you! Being genuine and truly yourself during recruitment will lead to the house best for you.

+ WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ME AS A “NEW MEMBER” OF A SORORITY?

New Members can expect weekly chapter meetings, philanthropy events, social events, and sisterhood events. We encourage going beyond what is expected of you to be an exceptional community member and leader!

+ WILL EVERY WOMAN GOING THROUGH RECRUITMENT RECEIVE A BID FROM A CHAPTER?

While we hope every woman finds a chapter, in reality not everyone will find a match. We do try our best to provide an opportunity for involvement to any woman that is interested in joining CSUF Panhellenic.
