Alongside every sorority at SUNY Cortland, Alpha Phi eagerly welcomes potential new members this coming Friday for their 3-day long rush process .
As one of the most anticipated events of the year, the Alpha Phi Sorority’s annual recruitment process kicks off this Friday! The week-long recruitment is a celebration of laughter, friendship, and meaningful connections, reflecting the group’s commitment to nurturing a strong sense of community and sisterhood.
The first day of recruitment, known as the ‘meet and greet,’ is dedicated to making all Potential New Members (PNMs) feel comfortable by engaging in conversations and getting to know them better. It’s an opportunity to showcase what Alpha Phi is all about and introduce PNMs to their potential new sisters.
Moving on to the second day, ‘chapter informational,’ we delve deeper into what Alpha Phi offers and the associated costs. This day also provides a glimpse of the beautiful house, with two of our sisters sharing heartfelt experiences of living there.
Finally, on Preference Day, PNMs who have been invited back engage in meaningful conversations with Alpha Phi sisters to finalize their choice of sorority. Throughout the week, authenticity is encouraged, allowing sisters to showcase their true selves and forge genuine connections with PNMs. This is the time for PNMS to choose which place feels like home.
During this whole week sisters of Alpha Phi are encouraged to embrace authenticity and showcase their true selves throughout the week. Alpha Phi hosts a variety of events, each carefully designed to allow potential new members to connect with current members on a personal level. From casual meet-and-greet sessions to themed events that showcased the sorority’s values, the process aimed to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone involved.
The sorority’s commitment to transparency during the recruitment process is a game-changer. It’s not about putting on a show; it’s about welcoming new faces into a family that values open communication from the get-go. The support and resources provided to potential new members reflect a sincere effort to make everyone feel seen, heard, and valued from day one.
More than a sorority, Alpha Phi is a journey—a journey of growth and sisterly love. It’s a place where friendships aren’t just made; they’re cherished for a lifetime. In every laugh, every shared moment, and every success, Alpha Phi stands as a testament to the power of unity and the enduring strength of sisterhood.
