Membership Recruitment is an exciting process where you’ll have the chance to meet Kappa Kappa Gamma members on your campus. During Recruitment, you’ll connect with current members who can share their experiences, answer your questions, and help you envision what being part of a sorority could look like for you. Think of it as a glimpse into the sisterhood, support, and opportunities you’ll find in Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Primary Recruitment, also known as Formal Recruitment, is a structured process that typically takes place at the beginning of the fall or spring term, depending on your campus. It’s an exciting opportunity for potential new members (PNMs) to meet representatives from all the sororities in your college’s Panhellenic community, including Kappa Kappa Gamma.

During this process, you’ll attend a series of events designed to introduce you to the values, sisterhood, and opportunities each sorority offers. Each round becomes more focused as you build connections and discover which organization feels like the best fit for you. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to ask questions about things like time commitments, finances, events, and more.

Primary Recruitment culminates in Bid Day, when invitations to join a chapter are sent out and where the journey in a supportive and empowering sisterhood begins. It’s an unforgettable experience that opens the door to a lifetime of connection, growth, and opportunity.

Continuous Open Bidding, or COB, is a more relaxed and informal recruitment process that happens outside of Primary Recruitment. It’s an opportunity for women to join a sorority like Kappa Kappa Gamma at times when chapters are looking to welcome new members.

Unlike the structured format of Primary Recruitment, COB allows you to connect with chapter members in a more casual setting. Events might include coffee dates, small gatherings, or chapter-hosted activities where you can get to know Kappa members and learn about what makes our sisterhood special.

COB is an excellent option if you missed Primary Recruitment or are looking for a more flexible way to explore sorority life. It’s all about finding the right fit in an approachable and personalized way. Curious to learn more about COB? Connect with your Panhellenic office to see if your campus organizations participate in COB.

Joining Kappa Kappa Gamma means embracing the responsibilities and expectations that come with being part of our sisterhood. Each chapter has specific scholarship, financial, and participation expectations. Members will need to meet the required GPA, pay all dues and fees on time, and attend the minimum amount of chapter events and activities in order to remain a member in good standing.

Membership references, sometimes called recommendation letters, are written by Kappa alumnae to introduce a potential new member (PNM) to a chapter during the recruitment process. These references help chapters learn more about your character, achievements, and why you’d make a great addition to the sisterhood.

While references are not required, they can be a helpful part of the process. If you don’t know a Kappa alumna personally, don’t worry — many chapters and alumna organizations are happy to assist you in securing a reference.
