Welcome to UNF Panhellenic’s website! We hope you find love in our community like we did!
PNM stands for Potential New Member. When you sign up for the formal recruitment process, you become a potential new member. Once you accept a bid to one of our seven chapters, you then become a new member.
Recruitment registration is open until 5pm on August 27th. Formal recruitment begins on Friday, September 1st and concludes on Monday, September 4th. Plan to stay at the University Center all day! If you have class on Friday, we will make necessary arrangements to ensure you meet all six chapters.
Yes, the cost for registration is $70. This includes two shirts, a goodie bag, snacks and covers university related fees.
A Rho Gamma is a woman who cross-affiliates during the summer through the end of formal recruitment. She is a member of one of our six Panhellenic chapters who gives up her letters to help new members find theirs. She is a recruitment counselor and helps potential new members through their process of formal recruitment

The Panhellenic Council requires potential new members must have a cumulative college GPA of a 2.5, if applicable. Some individual chapters have internal scholarship requirements they expect of their members. This is a great question to ask chapters in the recruitment room!
Absolutely not. Scholarship is a main goal for all of our Panhellenic chapters. If a woman does not meet either Panhellenic or her Chapter’s academic standards, there will be consequences, but we also have many resources to help her if she does find herself in this situation. Many of our chapters have specific scholastic resources at their member’s disposal. Each chapter has an executive or associate executive leadership position specifically tailored to sisters’ academic needs. We hold congratulatory events for those with outstanding GPAs and award sisters and chapters with high academic achievement. The Panhellenic council cumulative GPA is well above the universities all women’s cumulative GPA.
Some of our Panhellenic chapters are all inclusive, whereas others are non inclusive. The recruitment handbook has financial transparency sheets for each chapter. Also, chapters may offer payment plans and scholarships may be available. Panhellenic offers dues scholarships throughout the semester as well. Many of our members pay their dues themselves, so do not feel discouraged!
You absolutely should! Here at UNF, we encourage women (Panhellenic or not) to remain true to themselves and find friendships in other women who do the same. Finding your chapter allows you to find a group of women who you will be able to relate to, but there is no true “sorority girl” ideal; we are all different but love each other just the same and embrace each other as Panhellenic sisters no matter what. Some of the most involved women in our Panhellenic community started off with the same worry, but quickly came to realize that whether they identify as the “typical sorority girl” or not, they have a place here and have been able to make the best friends and sisters for life!
The minimum time commitment is to attend Chapter meeting once a week, which are typically on Sunday nights. During your new member period, the chapter will host various new member activities and educational sessions. There are many optional events each week you can attend but most are not required. There are various mandatory events throughout the semester for both your chapter and for Panhellenic/Greek life, but you should be given the dates far enough in advance to plan accordingly. Chapters are very understanding of class conflicts and things like work!
