Panhellenic Bid Day

Registration for Fall 2026 Primary Recruitment is OPEN!

Register for recruitment before August 27, 2026!

 

Pre-Recruitment

Gamma Chis: After you register for recruitment, you will receive an email from a current Purdue sorority member who will help answer all your questions about recruitment before the process officially begins.  This person will be your recruitment counselor – more commonly referred to as your Gamma Chi!

Potential New Member (PNM) Crash Course: Read all about what to expect during primary recruitment and how it works. This will be an important resource for you, so please read it!

PNM Orientation: You will learn more about fraternity/sorority life at Purdue, and receive details on the primary recruitment process. PNMs will receive additional information about the date/times of orientation once they register.

Gamma Chi Meetings: Meetings with your Gamma Chi group will take place before the start of Primary Recruitment. In these meetings, your Gamma Chi will highlight the importance of values to each sorority and how you can use your values to find a sorority that is right for you.

2026 Recruitment Dates

Primary Recruitment will take place over the first two weekends of the 2026 fall semester. The full schedule is available on the Purdue Panhellenic website.
