Recruitment

Interested in joining Delta Phi Epsilon? Great! Here at Indiana University of Pennsylvania we have recruitment twice every academic year. Once in the Fall and once in the Spring. During the Fall we have what is referred to a Formal Recruitment and in the Spring we have Informal or Unstructured Recruitment.
These weeks of recruitment are sometimes referred to as Rush. It is during Rush that you, Potential New members, can come out and meet us girls and see if we are the right sorority for you. We hold many dinner get-togethers and themed events and encourage you to come out and see us with all the questions you could possibly have for DPhiE.

What happens when recruitment is over?
When recruitment week, or Rush, ends we hand out Bids to the girls we would like to have join our sorority. If you receive an invitation, also known as a Bid, you have 24 hours to decide whether you would like to sign or not, but you do not have to wait the full day if you know you want to join when we hand you your bid.
When a Potential New Member, or a PNM, signs a Bid they become what is as a New Member until Initiation when they then become New Sisters. During this time, for about 6 weeks, a New Member will go through a education process called New Member Orientation.

New Member Orientation provides a glimpse into the benefits and opportunities Delta Phi Epsilon has to offer. Our information, history, values, organizational management, expectations of membership, and the leadership opportunities available are all provided through this orientation process. The program lasts 6 weeks, with a focus on the aspects learning a different aspect of the sorority each week. Through this orientation, you will learn about our PEARL Program, which operates on our five S's: Self, Scholarship, Sisterhood, Social, and Service. DPhiE is committed to informing women of the academic resources that are available to them on campus in order to enhance their scholastic performance. The New Member orientation period is programmed with your studies in mind, and, therefore, will enhance your college experience.
