The registration fee includes the t-shirts for the Philanthropy and Sisterhood rounds of recruitment, snacks during the days of recruitment, and administrative fees associated with facilitating the recruitment process.
On-Campus Housing & Early Move-in Fee: $40
Because Potential New Members are moving in on August 12th, ahead of Mississippi State University’s official move-in day, this fee is REQUIRED for any potential new member living on campus for the 2025-2026 academic year.
You will NOT pay this fee if you are moving into off-campus housing not affiliated with the university or are required to move in earlier than August 12th for another on-campus event (athletics, band, etc.). If you do not pay this and you fall into the group required to pay, you will receive an email from a Panhellenic representative with options on how to pay. If you have not paid this fee by July 25th, you will not be participating in the 2025 Panhellenic Recruitment process or moving in early on August 12th.
Please email Abby Buck, abuck@saffairs.msstate.edu, if you have any questions about this.
All students living on campus who register for Primary Recruitment will be able to sign up for a move-in time slot when prompted by Housing & Residence Life in your Housing Portal.
After you register online, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please contact the Director of Recruitment at panrecruitment@saffairs.msstate.edu.
A legacy is typically a sister, daughter, or granddaughter of a
sorority alumna. However, each chapter has different requirements for considering a potential new member a legacy. Many national organizations have made changes to their legacy policies so we encourage you to visit your national organization to learn more about their policy.
You are encouraged to keep an open mind and consider what each chapter has to offer, regardless of which sorority you are a legacy. Likewise, each PNM is considered individually, and you should not feel any pressure from the chapter members to join a particular sorority. Most importantly, being a legacy of a sorority(s) does not guarantee you a bid from that sorority(s). Each sorority has different policies on legacies. Ultimately, the individual potential new member’s personality, character, resume, grades, etc., are the main determining factors for membership selection.
