On behalf of The University of Alabama Panhellenic Association I would like to welcome you to the Capstone. We are thrilled that you have chosen to become a part of the Crimson Tradition and take part in one of the largest sorority recruitments in the nation! We are sure you will find your time here at the Capstone fulfilling and enjoyable.
I would like to encourage you to make the most of your recruitment experience. By having an open mind and a positive attitude, you will be able to truly enjoy the recruitment process. I would also like to challenge you to contemplate the commitment of sorority membership and identify what it is that you are looking to gain from Greek Membership.
Keep in mind that the more time and commitment you put into sorority life, the more benefits you will gain from it. Here at the University of Alabama, we are committed to the positive development of each member of the Greek community. We strive to makes sure that the Greek community maintains its tradition of excellence every day. We respect the University and take pride in its rich traditions, which allows us to make the most of our college experience.
Even though sorority recruitment may be the first thing you participate in at the Capstone, it certainly will not be your last. Greek life is merely a stepping stone to getting plugged into campus involvement. UA offers more than 200 student organizations, ranging from honor societies to philanthropic groups, and students in the Greek community play a large part in the leadership of many of these organizations.
The University of Alabama is home to one of the finest Greek systems in the country. We have 16 strong sorority chapters and it is a privilege to be a member of any one of our 16 houses. The leadership and legacy that comes with pledging a sorority is the catalyst that develops individual growth, scholarship, service, character refinement, and long-lasting friendships.
I am so happy that you have decided to take your first step into college life in such a big way. Once again, remember to have an open mind and make the most of every opportunity presented to you in your sorority recruitment. Have fun. Be relaxed. Be yourself, and meet the women around you. After all, they are your future sisters!
Best of Luck and Roll Tide!!,
Sincerely,
Amber Murphy
