Information about your University Housing Agreement
The Panhellenic Association and the Department of Housing and Food Services (HFS) cooperate to identify women who have applied for a residence hall space and have also registered for formal sorority recruitment.

- Be a new freshman or transfer student
- Register for recruitment with the Panhellenic Association by September 1, 2013

Your residence hall assignment will be based on your recruitment application date. It is likely that you will be assigned to temporary housing for the beginning of autumn quarter.
Before September 1, 2013:
If you plan to register for recruitment, you should NOT submit a residence hall application.
If you do submit a residence hall application and register for recruitment by September 1, your residence hall application will be cancelled, your space will be reassigned to another student, and any payments will be refunded in full.
