College is a time to explore who you are, what matters to you, and what value you want to bring to the world! And joining a sorority is about finding your people – the women who will cheer you on and challenge you along the way. Your future sisters will be there to support you as you learn all that you’re capable of, and through the sorority experience you’ll tap into your potential through exploring leadership, giving back to the community, and serving others.
- Sorority is… coming together to make a difference! Sororities bring incredible women together and provide outlets and support for us to do real good in our community. We believe there is no group at Tennessee Technological University that has the power to impact our world like sororities!
- Sorority is… fun! It’s about always having those go-to girls you can sing at the top of your lungs with, late-night study buddies, that sister who is there when you need ice cream (or a hug), and a mentor who inspires you to be the best version of you.
- Sorority is… a deep network and well of opportunities that will help you succeed – beyond what you can imagine today. Your sorority helps you find your niche at [school] through opportunities to connect and lead, and the benefits of the sorority experience are real. Sorority women are three times as likely to have an internship in school and twice as likely to have a job when they graduate.
- Sorority is… a community of support. You’ve heard about our “sisterhood.” Sororities provide a family and a home away from home. Your sisters will be there for you – for celebrating your wins, for tough conversations, and for when you need a shoulder to lean on. Sisterhood is deeper than friendship and lasts far beyond the few years we’re in college.
Joining Kappa Pi
- Joining a sorority can be an important part of the collegiate experience – it can help you navigate these exciting and sometimes challenging times. Phi Mu provides a place you can call home – a place where you belong and are surrounded by women who help you become your best self. We hope you will read more about what makes the Phi Mu experience unique and learn about our sisterhood.There are two ways to join a sorority on Tennessee Tech's campus. Formal recruitment is the most common way. This occurs in the fall during the first few weeks of the school year. During the summer, Panhellenic will provide a link to sign up for Formal Recruitment. Formal Recruitment is a mutual-selection process where a potential new member meets all 5 Panhellenic sororities throughout the week, then eventually narrows her options down. The week ends with Bid Day, which is where you get to run home to your new sorority!The other option for recruitment is informal recruitment. This is a more laid-back option that removes some of the stress associated with Formal Recruitment. Informal recruitment may also be referred to as Continuous Open Bidding (COB). This can range from smaller scale events to getting coffee with a few members of our chapter! Rather than having to wait for the next fall, PNM's can join a sorority throughout the year as long as there are spots available. While informal recruitment is a wonderful option, it is completely dependent on how many spots are left, and there is no guarantee that chapters will participate in informal recruitment. If you have interest in joining Phi Mu and you missed Formal Recruitment, reach out to our Membership Director and we would love to get in touch with you!
