Pre-Recruitment Programs
Each fall, the College Panhellenic Association (CPA) offers a variety of optional pre-recruitment programs designed to provide additional information and meaningful opportunities for connection. These events are created with you in mind—to help you learn more about the sorority experience, understand the recruitment process, and begin building community across campus.
