This week kicks off spring recruitment for Greek life at York College. Starting Thursday, Feb. 4, potential new members can attend a variety of social events hosted by the six sororities and eight fraternities on campus and get to know the brothers or sisters of each organization. During these events, students will learn about what makes each Greek organization unique and discover which is the best fit is for them.

The six sororities on campus—Alpha Sigma Tau, Delta Phi Epsilon, Theta Phi Alpha, Sigma Delta Tau, Phi Mu and Phi Sigma Sigma—have three rounds of recruitment that take place in theme-decorated classrooms in the Humanities building. The first two nights are general meet-and-greets, where girls attend each sorority’s event to familiarize themselves with each organization.

The second round is for sororities to identify and explain their philanthropy. The final round is the preference round for the girls who have narrowed down their top sororities, where they will see what the experience of sisterhood has meant to the members.

“Joining Greek life was one of the best decisions I ever made,” Phi Mu new member director Ashley Miller said. “It’s a great way to meet new people and I think everyone should consider coming out for recruitment and seeing if it is the right decision for them.”

    The eight fraternities on campus—Alpha Delta Gamma, Alpha Chi Rho, Zeta Beta Tau, Kappa Delta Phi, Kappa Delta Rho, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Sigma Phi—have various activities lined up for potentials to attend. Some of the events include Super Bowl parties; basketball, volleyball and Foosball tournaments; and snow tubing.
