Housing During Recruitment Week

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.

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, 2009:

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.

After September 1, 2009:

If your residence hall application or your recruitment registration is received after September 1, your residence hall application will not be cancelled; if you later cancel your residence hall application, cancellation fees will be assessed.

After formal sorority recruitment:

If you choose not to pledge a sorority and would like to be assigned to the residence halls, you must: complete the online housing application and contact the Student Services Office by 5 p.m. on September 21, 2009. You will be assigned to a space in temporary housing.
