Attire is one of the top questions we receive regarding Primary Recruitment! The Primary Recruitment process does not have a strict dress code, however throughout the rounds the attire tends to be a bit more formal. Throughout the process wear an outfit that makes you feel the most comfortable and confident, which allows you to express your own personal style! Do not feel the need to go out and purchase new items as you should not need anything that you don’t already have. Be authentically yourself because that is what chapters want to see! If you still aren’t sure where to start, here are some quick recommendations for each round:
Wear what you feel comfortable and casual in! You will be hearing more about the recruitment process and meeting with your Gamma Chi groups before heading into the first round of recruitment on Saturday.
There is no dress code for PNM Orientation.
All PNM's will be receiving a Round 1 T-shirt that you will be required to wear!
Use this as an opportunity to show your style through your bottoms and accessorizing your outfit! Jeans, pants, shorts, or a skirt are appropriate along with comfortable shoes such as sandals and sneakers- you will be doing a lot of walking this day! Patterned bottoms are appropriate in this round!
Think of a lunch with friends!
Sundresses, rompers, pants/jeans with a nice top are all appropriate for this round. Make sure to wear flat shoes because a lot of walking will continue into today!
Dress as though you were going to a nice lunch with family!
This will take place over two evenings and is similar to the previous round in regards to attire with sundress, romper, jumpsuits, skirts, or dress pants all being appropriate to wear! If you choose to wear heels, we highly recommend you bring an extra pair of shoes since you will be doing a lot of walking between rounds!
Dress as if you were going to a nice dinner or graduation!
Formal dresses, nice rompers, or jumpsuits are very popular. All styles, colors, and patterns are welcomes and feel what you feel comfortable and confident in! We encourage you to bring a change of shoes to bring with you if you decide to wear heels with your outfit!
Once you open your bid card and run home to your sisters, you will be given a t-shirt from the chapter to change into! Please wear a shirt that you can easily throw your new one over or change out of. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes such as sneakers or sandals and jeans, pants or shorts!
Primary Recruitment takes place at the start of Fall Term and is the only opportunity to meet all 11 chapters as many will be full for the rest of the academic year.
Primary Recruitment is an exciting and fun process that help you learn more about sorority life at OSU and help you find your home away from home.

Continuous Recruitment or Continuous Open Bidding (COB) is a more informal style of recruitment that some chapters will hold during Winter or Spring Term.
Only chapters that have open spots for new members will participate so we recommend that, if possible, you participate in Primary Recruitment first!
