Dear Potential New Member,

Welcome back to U.Va for Formal Recruitment 2014!

As the largest women’s organization on Grounds, theInter-Sorority Council (ISC) is composed of over 2,300 women that span across all demographics of the University. Since the first sorority chapter arrived on Grounds in 1927 and the Inter-Sorority Council was established in 1975, chapter women have striven to be a positive example at the University of Virginia. It is our goal today to maintain that example and our hope is that you will see that as you participate in Formal Recruitment 2014.

The ISC is one of the four Greek Councils on grounds at U.Va that combined make up approximately 30% of the undergraduate student population. While this is not even half of our community, it is easy to see the impact of Greek Life around Grounds through CIOs, community service, and other events. This impact is not solely highlighted in one individual ISC chapter. Instead, each one has its own individual importance in our community—all the more reason why we recommend you keep an open mind to the different chapters opening their homes to you during Formal Recruitment 2014. I hope that you will help us keep the tradition of the ISC alive by being considerate at all of the chapters. The ISC extends its support to all chapters—particularly during Recruitment.

As you will soon find, each ISC chapter fosters the five pillars of leadership, sisterhood, service, support and scholarship. We strongly believe that membership in any of our 16 Panhellenic chapters can positively contribute to your collegiate experience and lead to lifelong friendships. Every chapter woman is so excited to meet you and share their experiences, so I wish you the best of luck as you begin this exciting process!

Sincerely,Kathleen LavelleInter-Sorority Council President

Welcome to the ISC

We are currently the largest group of women on Grounds with over 2,300 members in 16 sororities. The ISC at the Univer-sity of Virginia strives to uphold the values of integrity, loyalty, compassion, and humility, upon which our organizations were founded. Sorority involvement enhances the experience of all current and future sorority wom-en by providing resources and opportunities for scholarship, leadership, service, and social development in an atmosphere conducive to friendship and sisterhood.

Mission Statement

Our council’s mission is to sup-port and promote the well-being of the 16 chapters of the ISC and their members, and to encourage positive interactions among chapters as well as with the larger Greek, university, and Charlottesville communities. The Inter-Sorority Council strives to uphold the five pillars on which it stands: Sisterhood, Service, Scholarship, Support, and Stu-dent Leadership.

ISC women have access to student leadership opportunities within their chapters, the Inter-Sorority Council community, and on Grounds. ISC women are constantly encouraged to take charge of their undergraduate experience in the spirit of student self-governance by serving as community leaders, both within their chapter and in the larger U.Va. community. Because Greek women consistently participate in extracurricular activities and lead some of U.Va.’s most prestigious and honored organizations, the Greek network available to ISC women provides them with connections to a range of leadership opportunities.

When a student joins an ISC sorority, she not only joins a single chapter, she joins a lifetime commitment to sisterhood. Sisterhood is the foundation of the Panhellenic inter/national organizations, and remains an integral part of the ISC. Not only do members of our community enjoy sisterhood within their local chapters, they also benefit from the network of sisterhood that spans across organizations. Furthermore, all members of the ISC community are bonded in Panhellenic sisterhood—a shared responsibility to support and uplift each other as Greek women through our actions, words, and community involvement. These strong bonds are established early in an ISC woman’s entry into the community, grow throughout her undergraduate experience, and will continue to serve and uplift her throughout her lifetime.

SUPPORT

SERVICE

SCHOLARSHIP

Panhellenic Creed

“We, as Undergraduate Mem-bers of women’s fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our college commu-nity. Cooperation for furthering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activi-ties.

We, as Fraternity Women, stand for service through the devel-opment of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The oppor-tunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live.”

Service is an integral part of the Inter-Sorority Council at the University of Virginia. All chapters of the ISC support a national cause or charity

through weekly service opportunities and philanthropy events. Chapters work within their sisterhood and across chapters and councils

to support various charities, ranging from medical research to youth foundations to women’s support groups.

The ISC Executive Board and all ISC chapters work to serve community members through various women’s concerns programming, which

address important issues such as self-defense, health, domestic violence, mental health, academic programming, scholarship

opportunities, and career and internship resources. In addition, all members of the Greek community strive to consistently support each

other in day-to-day activities and endeavors, and continue this support beyond college in their lifetime commitment to sisterhood.

Scholarship is a priority of the Inter-Sorority Council and an area in which Greek woman at U.Va. excel. ISC women consistently finish

each semester with a community GPA that is higher than the overall women’s GPA at U.Va. Joining an ISC chapter provides opportunities

for study groups, mentorships, and becoming part of a large and diverse group of women who value academic excellence.

Welcome to the University of Virginia! We are so excited that you have chosen to attend the University of Virginia and that you are considering joining our Greek community. As your Panhellenic Counselor Co-Directors, we are responsible for training both the Panhellenic Counselors and Logistics Coordinators and preparing them, as unbiased mentors, to help you, as a Potential New Member, through Formal Recruitment. Every woman going through Recruitment is assigned a Panhellenic Counselor (Pi Chi) to serve as an unbiased mentor before, during, and after the Recruitment process. Pi Chis are disaffiliated members of the Inter-Sorority Council who went through a competitive application process and trained all semester to help facilitate the Recruitment process for all women participating in Recruitment. They are available to assist in any way and answer any questions that may arise throughout the Recruitment process.

Pi Chis are a valuable resource that you can turn to for help and advice when it comes time to make some of the hard decisions that are inevitable during Recruitment. They have gone through Recruitment both as Potential New Members and as members of their respective chapters, so they are definitely there for you to turn to with any questions. We encourage you to reach out to them whenever necessary. Logistics Coordinators (LCs) are stationed at every chapter to handle the logistics of the Recruitment process so that the Pi Chis can focus all of their attention on their PNMs. We are confident that all of these women will help you have the best Recruitment experience possible!

If you have any questions related to the Panhellenic Counselor program, feel free to contact Anna or Allison at [email protected].

Mutual Selection

Formal Recruitment at The University of Virginia uses a “mutual selection” pro-cess where both chapter selections and potential new member (PNM) rankings are considered in creating a PNM’s Re-cruitment schedule and bid. This process has been implemented on a national level to ensure that the highest num-ber of women possible are matched to chapters. The process works by sched-uling all PNMs to see all chapters in the first round of Recruitment, known as ‘Round Robbins’, and steadily de-creasing the number of chapters in later rounds of the process. This allows the PNMs to focus more intently on a smaller number of chapters at the end of the process versus the beginning.

University of Virginia Potential New Member Contract

Inter-Sorority Council Spring 2014 Formal Recruitment

Inter-Sorority Council Recruitment at the University of Virginia is not only a tremendous opportunity, but also a privilege. Each chapter on Grounds has been preparing over the past year for this process and is eager to welcome each Potential New Member (PNM) into their home. As an honored guest in chapter facilities and a registered participant in the Inter-Sorority Council organized Recruitment process, PNMs are expected to act in accordance with all the following Recruitment policies:

1. I pledge to be an enthusiastic, positive participant in the Recruitment process. I understand that Recruitment is an exciting but long process and that the Recruitment Executive team and chapter members are also undergoing long days to help PNMs find their home within the Inter-Sorority Council community.

2. I will behave respectfully towards myself, other potential new members, chapter members, and university staff at all times. Specifically, I will refrain from slandering any of the above individuals during Recruitment.

3. I will attend all Recruitment events to which I receive an invitation.

4. I will act politely and respectfully when attending all Recruitment events and throughout the Recruitment period. This includes, but is not limited to, conversations during Recruitment parties, verbal and non-verbal interactions, and social media communications. I alone am responsible for my behavior and will act appropriately at all times.

5. I understand that if a situation occurs at a chapter or with an Inter-Sorority Council chapter woman that makes me uncomfortable or is against the Recruitment Regulations, I will report the incident to my Panhellenic Counselor. I understand that reporting a judicial violation will remain confidential and will not negatively impact my chances of membership with any chapters.

6. I understand that the consumption of alcohol and socializing with men are not permitted during the Recruitment process and Bid Day activities (January 10 – 20, 2014).

7. I will adhere to the National Panhellenic Conference policy regarding Strict Silence. Strict Silence applies to the period beginning with a Potential New Member’s first Preference Party and ending once Bid Cards are opened at New Member Convocation. During this time there will be no conversation or contact between Potential New Members and sorority members, alumnae or chapter representatives except at specified Inter-Sorority Council Recruitment events. Potential New Members may not discuss sorority members or chapters with other Potential New Members. As a PNM, I will adhere to this policy and I understand that Strict Silence allows Potential New Members to make decisions free from outside pressures and opinions of others.

8. I understand that if I am matched with a chapter and receive an invitation for membership, I am bound to that chapter and considered ineligible for an invitation to membership from any other ISC chapter for one calendar year.

9. I understand that upon accepting a bid of membership I will be responsible for the financial obligations associated with affiliation.

Potential New Members who are reported to be in violation of any of the Recruitment Regulations will be subject to a Recruitment Judicial Board hearing. Hearings will be addressed on a case-by-case basis and may result in dismissal from the Inter-Sorority Council Formal Recruitment process at the discretion of the Recruitment Judicial Board.

By signing the Potential New Member Contract I understand and agree to the terms listed above.

Recruitment RegulationsContact PolicyFrom Move-In Day until Bid Cards are opened, the Inter-Sorority Council practices strict silence between the chapters and the Po-tential New Members. This means that no communication may occur between chapter women and PNMs outside of rounds. Communication includes talking, e-mail, phone calls, texting, Facebook, etc. If any Greek woman attempts to break this policy, please report it to your Pi Chi, VP-Recruitment Anna Powell ([email protected]) or VP-Judiciary Alston Edwards ([email protected])

Bid PromisingBid promising refers to a Greek woman promising guaranteed admittance to a chapter before Bid Cards are handed out. This is a significant and large violation on the sorority’s part. It is inappropriate for any woman to promise what she cannot guarantee and, in the process, unduly influence the PNM’s Recruitment experience.

HazingHazing in any form is not tolerated at the University of Virginia. “Hazing” refers to any activity that is expected or required of someone to join or maintain status within a group that humili-ates, degrades, or risks emotional and/or physical harm, regard-less of the person’s willingness to participate. Often times, those initiating hazing practices consider them harmless pranks or comical antics – here at U.Va., we do not see hazing this way.

Hazing means to recklessly or intentionally endanger the health or safety of a student or students or to inflict bodily injury on a student or students in connection with or for the purpose of ini-tiation, admission into or affiliation with or as a condition for con-tinued membership in a club, organization, association, fraternity, sorority, or student body regardless of whether the student or students so endangered or injured participated voluntarily in the relevant activity.

For more information, or to report hazing activities, please visit www.virginia.edu/hazing

For a more thorough list of recruitment policies, please visit http://virginiaisc.com/recruitment/recruitment-regulations/

Alcohol PolicyThe use and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited during Recruitment. This includes going to bars, fraternities, or social events near or around the Corner area. Similarly, chapters may not supply alcohol at any Recruitment event. Any PNM that directly violates the alcohol policy risks immediate removal from Recruitment.

GiftsNo PNM may accept any article from any chapter or chapter member during Recruitment. To ensure you do not violate this rule, be sure to not leave any round with any pieces from the chapter. This can include, but is not limited to: letters, flowers, gift boxes, food, water, tissues, etc.
