NPC Recruitment
Potential new members -- commonly known as rushees -- must go through a recruitment process, traditionally known as rush.
Women will fill out a single registration form, which is then distributed to each of the 3 sororities participating. During the recruitment weeks, each woman visits and learns about each organization and meets current members. Mutual selection allows women to choose the chapters they are most interested in while chapters in turn choose the women they are interested in. Following recruitment, women attend a Bid Day celebration, where they receive their official invitation to join one of our 4 NPC
