I understand individual chapters have GPA requirements of 2.5 and above which may affect my placement or continued involvement with recruitment. I understand this authorization will remain in effect as long as I continue as a member of the organization I accept a bid to and enrolled at GWU.

**COVID-19 NOTICE AND SCHEDULING INFORMATION:** As a community, and as a world, we are still very much living through the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It is the intention and hope of this Panhellenic Association that we will be in person and fully present for the 2022 Formal Recruitment experience. However, given the nature of the pandemic, university guidelines, and national guidelines, we may be asked to pivot as late as January to a virtual model to conduct 2022 Formal Recruitment. In the case of this happening, all further information will be distributed guiding you through this process. By clicking “save/submit” I acknowledge that I may be informed that 2022 Formal Recruitment will be held virtually.

COVID SAFETY EFFORTS: We will continue to enforce mask mandates, require vaccinations, and require testing upon re-entry to campus. Additionally, we have contingency plans for those who test positive during recruitment, and we will continue to monitor the situation and abide by all institutional, local, and national guidelines presented to us.

In order to be eligible to accept a bid from any GW fraternity or sorority, potential new members must complete the Potential New Member Interest and Disclosure Form as well as the FSL 101 online education module.

INFORMATION DISCLOSURE: By clicking "save/submit" below, I agree to all of the terms listed above and allow my registration information to be made available to the Panhellenic Association and it's member chapters at George Washington University as part of the recruitment process.
