On Saturday, 542 registered undergraduate women will participate in Panhellenic Preview Day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. These women will visit the 10 sorority chapters with their Greek Ambassadors and experience a non-mandatory preview of fall rounds.

The purpose of this event is to give the potential new members practice in the sorority recruitment process. The event is similar to formal recruitment, but there is no scoring or ranking done.

Vice President of Recruitment senior Emily Kveselis said the Preview Day is a rehearsal for new sorority members who will be on the other side of the recruitment process.

“It’s really just practice for the sophomores (and new members) in the sorority, and for the potential new members so that they are not shocked,” Kveselis said. “The basic expectation (for the day) is that everyone is going out to meet as many women as they can.”

Kveselis expects that 500 to 520 of the registered women will come out. Numbers of potential new members who participate in the process have decreased after each stage of the recruitment process in the past.

“I want (potential new members) to realize that we have 10 great chapters,” Kveselis said. “I hope they also realize whether or not this is a good decision for them or not.”
Freshman Amanda Nieman plans to attend Panhellenic Preview Day with her Greek Ambassador and group.

“I think that fall preview day will help me get a better idea of the different sororities and get a better idea of what rush will be like in January,” Nieman said. “The Greek Ambassador is someone who you can ask your questions (because) no one really knows what rush is like.”
