WHY THINK THETA?

There’s something about Theta.
There’s something about surrounding yourself with the most driven, empowered, and unequivocally brilliant group of young women.
Women who lift you up, who challenge you to be your strongest self, who support and celebrate you at each and every opportunity.
There’s something about a community where ambition and selflessness coexist in harmony.
A community that radiates confidence and passion.
A sisterhood bonded by a shared desire to grow with each other, making ourselves, and the world, better in the process.

RECRUITMENT

Panhellenic Formal Recruitment is held each year at the beginning of the spring semester, usually in late January. Throughout the weekend, potential new members (or PNMs) visit each of the six Panhellenic sororities on campus.

The weekend is divided into three “days“ — philanthropy day, development day, and preference night. On philanthropy day, PNMs learn about Kappa Alpha Theta's national philanthropy, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), and what service means to members of Columbia Theta. On development day, PNMs experience the strength of our sisterhood and learn how Theta fosters personal growth. The final night, preference night, is where active members share more personal experiences as members of Theta at Columbia. At the end of recruitment, our chapter comes together on Bid Night to welcome our new member class!

Registration for Formal Recruitment is from October 1, 2024 to January 1, 2025.

Spring 2025 Formal Recruitment dates are from Thursday, January 23rd—Sunday, January 26th. For more information, please visit the Columbia Panhellenic Website.

“As a freshman, I never saw myself in a sorority; I never saw myself liking Greek life. In fact, I signed up for recruitment on the last day I could, but going through recruitment and finding a home in Theta completely changed my college experience. I have met some of my best friends here, made some of my favorite memories, and grown into the person I am today in large part because of my experiences in Theta. From late-night study sessions to big/little reveals to the excitement of recruitment week, Theta has given me a community I never expected but now couldn’t imagine being without. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by such inspiring women who push me to grow every day, and I can’t wait for a final amazing year!”
