Recruitment Overview
We have two opportunities for women to join one of our 13 National Panhellenic Conference sororities at Oklahoma State University. Fall Recruitment takes place one week prior to the first week of school, and all 13 chapters participate. The in person dates for 2021 are August 10 to 14. Continuous Open Bidding is an informal recruitment process that begins on the last day of Fall Recruitment and concludes with first day of Pre-Finals Week in the Spring. Not every chapter participates in Continuous Open Bidding. Please click on the links to the left to learn more about each of these processes.

When will I move in if I am living on campus?

Registration for COB Fall 2021 is OPEN.
What is COB?
Continuous Open Bidding or COB is a way for sororities to extend bids during the school year should spaces become available. It's very casual and unstructured and, since not every sorority participates, it's not easy to tell which sororities will participate in a given semester. It doesn't operate on a schedule, so some sororities will complete their COB process before another begins it. COB is a great way to join a Panhellenic sorority if you are interested!
