Recruitment Information

Values-based recruitment, which is practiced by all National Panhellenic Conference organizations, focuses on meaningful conversations between collegiate members and Potential New Members with the goal of recruiting women who will have a positive impact on chapters and the Panhellenic community. When a chapter uses Pi Phi's six core values as the foundation on which they recruit their members, a focus is placed on conversation and creating a sincere connection with each woman that walks through the door.

What Pi Beta Phi stands for is not a secret! Our values are included in our mission statement, our tagline and throughout our Ritual. Examples of Pi Phis living our values in their daily life can be found all over our social media, The Arrow® and throughout each chapter.

FORMAL RECRUITMENT AT YALE

The Vice President of Membership, Andi vonHilsheimer, serves as the primary contact for a chapter during recruitment. Pi Beta Phi alumnae should send Recruitment Information Forms to andi.vonhilsheimer@yale.edu. The recruitment period is a mutual selection process between a potential new member (PNM) and a Pi Beta Phi collegiate chapter.

Recruitment Information Forms (RIFs) and Legacy Introduction Forms should be sent to the Vice President of Membership before recruitment begins on campus.
