If you cannot make any of these dates, you must email Hailey Messina with conflicts at gwupnmcomm@gmail.com by January 1st at the latest.

PANHELLENIC SPIRIT: A fundamental tenet of the Panhellenic community is the dedication to cooperation, collaboration, and support of fellow members. As a participant in the formal recruitment process, you are part of the Panhellenic community and thus are expected to act in a manner that is respectful to your fellow participants and the chapter members you will meet. Failure to adhere to the policies and procedures set forth may affect your continued involvement in Recruitment.

ACADEMIC RECORD RELEASE: I do hereby authorize Fraternity & Sorority Life of THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY to release my enrollment status and grade point averages (high school and college) to the recruitment chair, chapter president, scholarship chair (or designated officer), chapter alumni advisor, and International/National organization. I understand the purpose of the disclosure is to verify eligibility for membership, determine my academic status with the University and the fraternal organization, and to verify my registration as a matriculated student with the University. 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 am enrolled at GWU. If I no longer wish for this information to be released, I understand I must make such request to the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life in writing by sending an email to fsl@gwu.edu.

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.

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 2023 Formal Recruitment will be held virtually.

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.

PNM CONTRACT: The purpose of this contract is to ensure that every potential new member (PNM) of the George Washington University community understands the standards that they will be held to, as well as the consequences that will be enforced should they violate these standards. PNMs are expected to act in accordance with the following expectations:

PNMs will behave respectfully towards Pi Rho Chis, other potential members, and chapter members at all times. Specifically, PNMs will refrain from making derogatory remarks or slandering any of the above individuals during recruitment.
