Welcome to Grand Valley State University's Panhellenic Recruitment!

sorority members excited at bid day

We are so glad you found us. We believe everyone has a purpose to discover, possibilities to explore, needs people to thrive, and a place to belong. 

College is a time to explore who you are, what matters to you, and what value you want to bring to the world! And joining a sorority is about finding your people – the women who will cheer you on and challenge you along the way. Your future sisters will be there to support you as you learn all that you’re capable of, and through the sorority experience you’ll tap into your potential through exploring leadership, giving back to the community, and serving others.

Sorority is ... coming together to make a difference! Sororities bring incredible women together and provide outlets and support for us to do real good in our community. We believe there is no group at GVSU that has the power to impact our world like sororities!

Sorority is ... fun! It’s about always having those go-to girls you can sing at the top of your lungs with, late-night study buddies, that sister who is there when you need ice cream (or a hug), and a mentor who inspires you to be the best version of yourself.

Sorority is ... a deep network and well of opportunities that will help you succeed – beyond what you can imagine today. Your sorority helps you find your niche at GVSU through opportunities to connect and lead, and the benefits of the sorority experience are real. Sorority women are three times as likely to have an internship in school and twice as likely to have a job when they graduate.

Sorority is ... a community of support. You’ve heard about our “sisterhood.” Sororities provide a family and a home away from home. Your sisters will be there for you – for celebrating your wins, for tough conversations, and for when you need a shoulder to lean on. Sisterhood is deeper than friendship and lasts far beyond the few years we’re in college.

Message from our Vice President of Recruitment

Hey there Lakers!!

I’m Alexis Findley, your 2026 Vice President of Recruitment, and I am so excited to welcome YOU to GVSU Panhellenic.

Starting college is such an exciting time, full of new experiences, opportunities, and people, and Panhellenic is one of the best ways to make it all even more meaningful. Whether you’re an incoming freshman eager to join Greek life or a sophomore still navigating to find your place within Grand Valley student life, there is absolutely a place for you here.

Joining a sorority can mean something different for everyone. You might be looking for structure, guidance, and a sense of direction, or maybe you’re hoping to find connection, friendship, and people who truly feel like A Place To Call Home. No matter what you’re searching for, Panhellenic offers a space where you can grow into your best self while being supported every step of the way.

Panhellenic is so much more than joining a sorority. It’s about building real friendships, finding a strong support system, and surrounding yourself with women who encourage you to grow academically, socially, and personally. It’s late night laughs, constant encouragement, leadership opportunities, and memories you’ll carry with you long after college.

Our nine chapters each offer something unique, but they all share the same goal of creating a welcoming and empowering environment where you can be yourself and thrive. During recruitment, you’ll get the opportunity to explore each chapter and discover where you feel the most comfortable and confident.

We can’t wait to meet you, get to really know you, and help you find your place within our Panhellenic community. Your college experience is just beginning, and this could be the start of something truly special.

See you so soon,
Alexis Findley
2026 Vice President of Recruitment
