There isn’t formal recruitment in the spring, just the fall. Spring is informal, not all houses participate and it is based on whether houses are at total ( entire membership numbers ) and the amount of December senior graduates/transfers or dropped members. Policies are different at every house, regarding whether they spring rush or not. It is not required by the school, but determined by the house - some have a must be at total policy, some don’t. Also if the house is full, they are not allowed to increase their numbers by Panhellenic. Check with Panhellenic office to get contact information and notification of who has decided to have Spring recruitment. Some are invitation only and some open. They’ll be able to at least give you some information that you can trust. Stay away from online info - it’s very tainted. Sorority recruitment was very competitive this year with over 1000 PNMs (potential new members)so pledge classes are much bigger this year, leaving fewer openings since total has not changed(most houses are at or over total) at least that is my understanding.

As far as chances, it will depend on how many houses are going to be able & choose to participate. I believe there is only one house that is under total at the moment (before graduation data) they are in a ‘rebuilding phase’ so chances are good there, as for others no one knows yet.

Assuming you are talking about the 12 National sororities. There are also other sororities on campus that have various focuses (religious, community service etc)& have non-competitive enrollment for the most part and are not part of Panhellenic. You can find those by searching under the larger heading of clubs & student organizations.
