Recruitment
What
is a Sorority?
A sorority is a sisterhood of women that have gathered together
to promote a common set of ideals and purposes. To understand
more fully what a sorority is and its purpose we must go back
in time to the end of the 1900's. In the 19th century, colleges
were for men only, and fraternities were going strong on college
campuses across the nation. By the end of the 1900's women
were finally able to pursue higher education in college, yet
college still remained predominately male environment. To
triumph personally and academically in this environment, women
searched for encouragement and support as well as an outlet
for their talents and dreams. As a result, sororities began
to be founded, and their spirit of promoting the ideal women
has survived.
What
is Recruitment?
It is a selection process by which Greek organizations get
to know potential new members. The purpose of recruitment
is for Greek women to meet you and for you to meet Greek women.
After a series of parties, women are selected for membership
to different sororities. If you choose to participate in Recruitment,
there is no commitment to join a sorority. However, Recruitment
is a once in a life-time opportunity where ladies get a chance
to make and create life long friendships across the Pittsburg
State University campus.
Why
do we love Tri-Sigma?
Tri-sigma was founded by eight women that wanted to promote
strong womanly character, high standard of conduct, and insure
perpetual bond of friendship. The ladies at PSU live by these
morals and the motto, "To receive much, we must give
much.” This means that by joining Tri-Sigma we are able
to maximize our college experience. Besides Tri-Sigma being
among the best sororities at PSU, we share a strong sisterhood
that enhances our college experience. All potential members
have unique qualities that will positively impact our chapter.
We encourage growth for these wonderful characteristics to
become stronger while a part of the chapter. Many aspects
we have received and have enjoyed include:
* A support group to make college easier
* Scholastic resources to help you achieve academic goals
* Hands on leadership skills and future opportunity for leadership
* Encouragement to get involved and maximize your potential
on campus
* Opportunity for active participation in community service
projects
* Life long bonds of friendship
