You are eligible for Spring 2026 Recruitment if you are a degree seeking student enrolled in at least one credit hour at the University of Florida. You must not have received a bid in Fall 2025 Recruitment. In the case that you received a bid during Primary Recruitment (Fall 2025), your next opportunity for joining the Panhellenic community would be in Fall 2026 during the next Primary Recruitment cycle.

Attendance at the Spring Interest Session is strongly encouraged, but not required. If you are unable to attend, we will post the slideshow on our website.

Spring Recruitment is an informal and individualized process that varies by chapter. Each participating chapter determines its own recruitment format, timeline, and events. Potential New Members are encouraged to connect directly with participating chapters to learn more about their specific opportunities.

Chapters can begin extending Continuous Open Bids (COBs) on January 12, 2026. The Panhellenic New Member Window for Spring 2026 will take place from January 19th – March 2nd. Chapters can extend COBs during any point during this period and could stop extending bids at any point in time.

After joining a chapter, new members are welcomed into the Panhellenic community and will begin new member education. This period focuses on learning about chapter values, traditions, leadership opportunities, and building connections within the chapter and Panhellenic community. All new members must be initiated into their respective organizations by March 2nd.

Panhellenic Recruitment is values-based, meaning you are encouraged to consider how your personal values align with those of each chapter. Taking time to reflect on your interests, goals, and sense of belonging can help you determine which chapter is the best fit for you.
