eNCOURAGEMENT FROM THE Vice President of Membership Recruitment

Dear Class of 2028,

I speak not only for myself but for the entire Omicron Chapter when I say we truly cannot wait to meet you! Recruitment is here and we are counting down the days until we get to welcome you into our home.

I am beyond excited that you are considering going Greek. Greek life here at Mizzou is single-handedly one of the most beneficial ways to get involved, gain unique friendships, and network here on campus.

It’s crazy to think that just two years ago I was in your shoes deciding which sorority I wanted to join. I came into recruitment completely overwhelmed with everything each individual sorority had to offer. Once I met with the girls Alpha Phi, I felt like I had found the place for me. I knew I could be myself, and I felt loved by everyone I had talked to so far. I knew when I decided to go Greek I was looking to surround myself with genuine, intelligent, charismatic, and fun-loving women. Since opening my bid card, the Omicron chapter has exceeded all of these expectations and more. In a school of over 23,000 students, joining Alpha Phi has given me a home full of strong women that make such a big school feel so much smaller. The memories I have made in Alpha Phi, whether it be philanthropy, social events, sisterhoods, or hanging out at the house, have shaped my college experience and will be the memories I look back on and cherish while thinking about my time at Mizzou.

My best advice for you during recruitment is to be your true and authentic self. It is so easy to get caught up in the craziness of the process, but if you stick to what you are looking for, you will find the home that is right for you. As you prepare to start this new journey, I want each of you to know how valued and treasured you are. Going Greek will not only enhance your college experience, but it will also help you grow emotionally, academically, and socially, reaching potential you have never imagined.

As Vice President of Membership Recruitment, I would like to thank you for your interest in Alpha Phi. Alpha Phi will be waiting for you with open arms, ready and excited to get to know each and every one of you.

rush quick tips

Be confident and be yourself!

Alpha Phi is looking for unique, genuine members. We want to see your true personality shine! Recruitment is about finding the place to call home. The week is much easier, and you will feel most at home by being your true self.

Make new friends!

College is such an exciting experience and is different from high school. It is so easy to remain close with your friends from high school, but we encourage you to also make friendships during the recruitment process. Most of these women will be joining the Panhellenic community with you as well!

Keep an open mind!

Remember that you are choosing a house for yourself, not anyone else. When going to each house and talking to the members, look for a place where you feel comfortable. The house you choose will be your home away from home for the next four years!

Take advantage of the Panhellenic Counselors!

These women were hand-selected and are a great representation of Mizzou’s Greek community. They will be your greatest support system during recruitment and will make your Formal Recruitment process both memorable and the best!
