Recruitment | Recruitment Calendar

What is Recruitment?

Recruitment is the process in which we meet interested women in our sorority.

If you chose to participate in recruitment there is no commitment to join.

Our spring recuitment will be from April 16th through April 18th 2009. Please refer to the recruitment calendar for more information.

Our next formal recruitment will be in Fall 2009, within the first few weeks of the fall quarter. During recruitment you will go to two "parties" each night, one for Gamma Phi Beta Sorority and one for Phi Sigma Sigma Sorority (another Panhellenic sorority on campus). You will get to meet the ladies of both sororities during this time. Additionally, you will learn all about sororities and exactly what our respective chapters do, and why we think joining a sorority is such an amazing part of college life. Then you will have the opportunity to decide which organization with which you fit in best. Recruitment is a really fun experience, and is something you should consider even if you are not initially sure if "sorority life" is for you. We promise our "sorority life" will offer you great opportunities and is not what is depicted on T.V.

What do we look for?

Scholarship: The Gamma Phi Beta Sorority strives to maintain good academic standing at our University, and we look for members who have demonstrated this ability in their previous educational setting.
Compatibility: The Gamma Phi Beta Sorority is based upon friendship, tolerance, congeniality, and mutual ideals and principles. The ability to get along with others of diverse personalities is a most desirable quality.
Involvement: You will get out of Gamma Phi Beta what you put into it. Previous school activities indicate potential for leadership and participation in campus and Greek life. Women who are group oriented and enjoy working with people are most likely to contribute to the dynamics of the sorority.
Financial Responsibility: The Gamma Phi Beta Sorority is a not-for-profit organization, our fundraising efforts are always to benefit others. Therefore, all of our activities (philanthropies, recruitment, retreats, socials, etc.) are financed by the dues of members. Potential New Members and their parents should be aware of the financial commitment and be willing to meet this responsibility.

Qualifications for Recruitment:

If you would like to consider joining Gamma Phi Beta be sure that you:

have been admitted to California State University, Bakersfield as a regularly enrolled student.
have a 2.4 grade point average from the previous quarter in college. If you are a freshman in your first quarter at California State University, Bakersfield, then you must have at least a 2.8 grade point average from your last quarter in high school.

Why go Gamma Phi?

As you will continue to give of yourself Gamma Phi Beta will give back to you a life full of the most precious memories and eternal friendship.

Lifelong Benefits:
