UA Panhellenic Preview Day

<p>I'm OOS and planning on rushing next year so I will be going to the sorority preview day on March 8. Can someone explain what the invites to socials, teas, etc. are and would these occur during the same weekend? Also, are the parties on Friday open to everyone or do you need an invite?</p>

<p>I’m surprised no one has answered you! You might want to post your question in the U of Alabama forum, which is very active. Yes, I know it’s mostly parents there, but many have daughters in college now in chapters, and others are advisers to their chapters.</p>

<p>From what I understand (and some rules have recently changed), Friday parties are by invitation only. Saturday is open to everyone but you must pre-register. When you register for preview weekend, you are also pre-registering for formal recruitment in August, but that is not “activated” until you pay the registration fee (for formal recruitment - preview is free). The earlier you register for preview, the more likely you will receive invitations to Friday parties. Good luck! And don’t be afraid to e-mail your questions to UA Panhellenic, too.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for the helpful info! I will definitely post on the U of A forum.</p>
