RECRUITMENT

Recruitment

At the beginning of each fall and spring semester, Alpha Sigma Kappa hosts informal recruitment events on campus. These events are FREE, open to anyone interested in learning more about our organization, and are more laid-back than formal recruitment. This way, potential Candidates (also called Potential New Members or "PNMs") have the opportunity to get to know Active Members on a personal level.  There is no dress code, you can arrive and leave at any time, and you can bring any friends you might think would be interested in joining the sorority as well.  

 

For information about current recruitment, see the Important Dates.

candidacy

To be considered for Candidacy, a potential Candidate must satisfy certain requirements. A 2.0 on a 4.0 GPA scale is required, as well as for one's major or area of study to be under our currently accepted majors (see below). If your major is not on the list, you can may still be able to join! Potential Candidates must also attend AT LEAST three recruitment events during that given semester.  

Membership

Once a person becomes a Candidate, they and their fellow Candidate Class will learn more about the organization through education with the Membership Education and Development chair, and will receive a Big, who will help them transition through Candidacy to Active Membership. Big and Littles often form friendships that last for life!
