Recruitment

Dear Potential New Member,

The ladies of Delta Delta Delta warmly welcome you to TCU, and we share your excitement about going through Recruitment. We found "going Tri Delt" to be the perfect choice for us - one that has offered leadership opportunities, lasting friendships, and incredible support.

Coming to college is a huge step and can seem intimidating and overwhelming at times. We were in your shoes not long ago, feeling many of the same things you have felt. Being a part of a sorority makes that transition easier, and we would like to share some of what we have experienced. In Tri Delt, we have found an amazing home away from home where we offer:

• 150 new friends waiting to welcome you with open arms on Bid Day.
• Meaningful, fun activities to enhance your first weeks at TCU and a New Member Retreat where you can really get to know your new pledge sisters.
• A Big Sister to ensure that there is always someone there just for you.
• An Academic Program to help with the transition to a college work load.
• A Philanthropy Program that encourages you to volunteer in the community.
• Moms' and Dads' Weekends to help families get to know one another.
• Countless activities where you can get involved on campus, football games, parties, mixers, and simply friends spending time together.
• Hours, days, and years of laughter, inside jokes, late night talks, common interests, and shared memories!

Sorority life gives you an immediate sense of belonging in this new setting because you are surrounded and supported by friends who have invited you into their world. Tri Delta seeks out the best part of who you are and inspires you to take that even further. We hope that each of you takes advantage of this unique opportunity, and we hope that each of you finds the happiness, security, and sense of belonging that we have found in Tri Delt. We promise it is waiting.

Best wishes,

Letter from Sorority Leaders

Dear Potential New Member,

Congratulations on your outstanding academic achievements in high school and for being admitted to the Texas Christian University Class of 2011. The faculty, staff, alumni and students are anticipating your August arrival. We believe the next four years will be an exciting time in your life.

In the upcoming weeks, you will receive information from the Panhellenic Association directing you to the TCU Fraternity and Sorority Life Web page (www.greeks.tcu.edu) for Fall 2007 Formal Sorority Recruitment information. We hope you will consider joining the over 1,000 students that will participate in Fall Recruitment.

In order to assist you in the Recruitment process, we want to outline several regulations that the eleven NPC sororities at TCU have established.

1. Alcohol is strictly prohibited during any Recruitment activity.
2. No potential new member of a sorority should attend any fraternity recruitment event regardless of who sends the invitation. These parties are prohibited.
3. You cannot attend any tea, alumnae event, dinner, lunch, breakfast or any event hosted by a sorority, sorority members or sorority alumnae beginning May 12, 2007.
4. You cannot spend the night with any member of a sorority before, during or after Frog Camp and/or Orientation.
5. You should not contact any member or alumnae of a sorority via Facebook, MySpace or any other online social network.
6. You are strongly encouraged to obtain recommendations for each organization. A list of mailing addresses for each organization can be found on the Fraternity and Sorority Life Web page.
7. You must complete your registration materials online via the Fraternity and Sorority Life Web page. Registration materials will be posted by June 1, 2007 and we encourage you to complete the registration material by July 15, 2007; however, we will accept registration materials up to August 15, 2007.

If you choose to violate one of the guidelines that were established by our 11 sororities, your opportunity for success during recruitment will decrease. If one of our chapters, members or alumnae breaks one of the policies, it is a poor reflection on the sorority and we strongly encourage you to contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at 817-257-7281.

We are confident you will enjoy TCU and truly hope you will consider participating in Panhellenic Recruitment. Our academic standards, philanthropic endeavors, leadership, development and so much more will enhance your experience in college.

If you have any questions or comments about this letter or anything pertaining to Recruitment, please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at 817-257-7281.

Fraternally,
