Toledo Panhellenic
Recruitment
Fall 2026
"Go Greek" is more than just a phrase; it is a challenge to become your best self. Being Greek is not only about finding yourself, but also about creating yourself. You will grow into the person you are meant to be through scholarship, community service, and sisterhood.
​
During recruitment, you will get the opportunity to meet all eight of the national sororities that we have here at the University of Toledo. As the days go by, you will be given the chance to talk to the chapters you choose on a more personal level.
​
There are also Rho Gammas, or recruitment guides, that will help you through recruitment every step of the way. Our goal is to ensure that you find the chapter that will help make you the best version of yourself. With eight uniquely different sororities, we are confident you will find your home away from home at the University of Toledo.

At the end of the process, through the mutual selection process, participants will have the opportunity to be given their bid on Bid Day and then celebrate with the chapter that they just joined.
To make the process less stressful, Potential New Members will be placed in a group and given Recruitment Guides to assist them through the process. These Recruitment Guides are often referred to as Rho Gammas, and are meant to serve as a role model, friend, and resource to support every Potential New Member throughout the formal recruitment process. Your Rho Gamma is a member of a sorority on your campus, BUT has disaffiliated from their sorority. They are there to help you go through the process — your support system and are there to answer all your questions.
Sorority Orientation:
This is the day that you will get to meet your Rho Gamma and the other girls in your group that are going through the recruitment process. You will learn about everything that they community as a whole has to offer as well as what dates and times are important for going through the process.
