We have come up with a list of frequently asked questions regarding recruitment. If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

How do I receive information/sign up for recruitment?

Contact miamirecruitment@gmail.com for more information or visit the Panhellenic page. There will also be tables in the U.C. breezeway as the dates near.

I'm not sure if a sorority is for me. Should I still go through recruitment?

Absolutely. Greek life at the University of Miami is different than at any other school. During recruitment, you will meet women from each sorority and learn where you fit in. If, at the end, you stil are not comfortable with going Greek, you will have, at the very least, met many new friends.

Do DGs talk to girls outside of Delta Gamma?

Yes. While being in Delta Gamma will help you identify yourself as an individual, it will not become your identity. All Delta Gammas are Miami Hurricanes and have friends that are not Greek or possibly in another sorority. All seven sororities make up the Panhellenic Association which promotes constant camaraderie among the sororities. Many girls have roommates that are in other sororities and remain best friends throughout college.

How can I convince my parents to let me join?

Your parents will appreciate the fact that 85% of student leaders on campus are Greek. Being in Delta Gamma helps you grow, become involved, and become aware of other opportunities outside of our sorority, even outside of college. They can rest assured knowing that we have a successful big sister/little sister program that helps new members transition into the chapter and make you feel comfortable.

How much time will DG take up?

The beauty of Delta Gamma is that you will get out of her what you put in. That means that you can become as involved as our Chapter Management Team or just love DG as an active sister. Delta Gamma is here for you during your college years.

Do you haze?

Never. The University of Miami and the state of Florida have strict rules against hazing, but more importantly Delta Gammas treat their newest members as sisters from the moment you accept your bid. We are inviting you to share what we love.

Do you have a house?

No. None of the Panhellenic sororities on campus have chapter houses, but each chapter has a designated suite in an on-campus building at which they house chapter meetings and get-togethers.
