If you’re heading to Texas A&M and thinking about joining a sorority, you’re probably starting to wonder what sorority recruitment will actually be like.
When does Texas A&M sorority recruitment happen? How many sororities are there? Do you need recommendation letters? What about the recruitment video? What should you wear? And how can you prepare before you even get to College Station?
If you’re a PNM — or a mom helping her daughter prepare — here’s what you need to know about Texas A&M sorority recruitment 2027.
When Is Texas A&M Sorority Recruitment 2027?
Texas A&M’s primary Panhellenic sorority recruitment takes place in August before the fall semester begins.
The official 2027 Texas A&M sorority recruitment dates have not been announced yet, so don’t rely on dates from previous years when planning your schedule.
Once the 2027 recruitment schedule is released, make sure you know when registration opens, when recruitment events begin, and when you need to be on campus.
One of the best things you can do right now is start preparing before those dates are announced.
How Many Sororities Are at Texas A&M?
Texas A&M currently has 14 National Panhellenic Conference sororities.
That’s a lot of chapters to learn about, which is why it can be helpful to do some research before recruitment begins.
But here’s my advice:
Don’t decide which sorority you want before you meet the women.
You may be surprised by which chapters feel like home once you’re actually there.
What Are the Texas A&M Sorority Recruitment Rounds?
Texas A&M sorority recruitment includes several rounds, each designed to help you learn more about the chapters.
Go Greek
Go Greek is the first part of the Texas A&M recruitment experience.
PNMs learn about the different sororities through chapter videos, and PNMs also submit a video introducing themselves.
That means your recruitment experience actually starts before you ever walk into a sorority house.
Philanthropy Round
Philanthropy Round gives you the opportunity to learn more about the causes each sorority supports.
You’ll also begin having conversations with members and getting a better feel for each chapter.
Don’t worry about having the perfect thing to say.
Be curious. Ask questions. Listen.
Sisterhood Round
Sisterhood Round gives you a deeper look at what it is like to actually be a member of each sorority.
You’ll have more personal conversations and learn about friendships, traditions, academics, activities, and life within the chapter.
Start paying attention to how you feel.
Where do conversations feel natural?
Can you picture yourself at one of these chapters?
Preference Round
Preference is the final round of recruitment and is generally the most personal.
This is the time to step back from outside opinions and really think about the chapters you’ve visited.
Don’t choose based on what your friends think is the “best” sorority.
Choose based on where you feel that you belong.
Bid Day
And then comes Bid Day!
It’s the exciting conclusion to recruitment and the beginning of your sorority experience at Texas A&M.
It can be emotional, exciting, overwhelming, sometimes all at the same time.
And that’s completely normal.
Does Texas A&M Require a Recruitment Video?
Yes.
The current Texas A&M recruitment process includes a PNM video during the Go Greek round.
This is one area where I recommend preparing ahead of time.
Your video doesn’t need to be a professional production.
It doesn’t need fancy editing or a script that sounds like you’re reading an audition.
The goal is to let sorority members see your personality and get a sense of who you are.
Be yourself. Be comfortable. Let your personality come through.
Do You Need Recommendation Letters for Texas A&M Sorority Recruitment?
Recommendation letters are not required to participate in Texas A&M sorority recruitment, but they are encouraged.
If you’re planning to ask alumnae for recommendations, don’t wait until the last minute.
Start asking people you know.
Family friends, neighbors, teachers, coworkers, and other women in your community may be sorority alumnae.
And if you don’t know someone from every chapter?
Don’t panic.

What Should You Put on Your Sorority Recruitment Résumé?
Your recruitment résumé should tell chapters more about you than your GPA.
Include things like:
- Leadership
- Athletics
- Clubs
- Community service
- Volunteer work
- Employment
- Awards
- Honors
- School activities
- Special interests
Think about what makes you you.
Your résumé shouldn’t feel like you’re trying to prove that you’re the most accomplished person in the room.
It should give sororities a glimpse into your interests, experiences, and personality.
What Should I Wear for Texas A&M Sorority Recruitment?
Texas A&M recruitment takes place in August, so you need to think about the Texas heat when planning your outfits.
Your looks generally become more dressed up as recruitment progresses.
For example:
Go Greek: Comfortable and casual
Philanthropy: Cute, casual daytime attire
Sisterhood: More elevated
Preference: Your dressiest, more formal recruitment look, cocktail
You don’t need an expensive wardrobe.
You don’t need designer clothes.
And you definitely don’t need to dress like someone you’re not.
Choose clothing that makes you feel confident and comfortable.
What Should I Do With My Social Media Before Texas A&M Recruitment?
Before recruitment, take a good look at your Instagram, TikTok, and other public social media accounts.
Ask yourself:
Does my social media tell the story I want people to see?
Your social media doesn’t need to look perfect.
It doesn’t need to scream “future sorority girl.”
And you don’t need to completely reinvent yourself.
But remember that your social media can create a first impression before you’ve ever met someone.
Make sure it represents you well.
Think of it as a visual resume.
My Biggest Texas A&M Sorority Recruitment Tips
Don’t obsess over rankings.
You will hear plenty of opinions about which sororities are “top,” “middle,” or “bottom.”
Try not to let those labels determine your experience.
Don’t memorize answers.
Recruitment is a conversation, not a job interview.
Ask questions.
If you’re genuinely interested in something, ask about it.
Listen.
Don’t spend the entire conversation thinking about what you’re going to say next.
Actually listen to the person sitting across from you.
Don’t compare your schedule to your friend’s.
Your recruitment schedule may look completely different from someone else’s.
That doesn’t mean something is wrong.
Don’t panic over a cut.
Recruitment can be emotional.
You may not get invited back to a chapter you really liked.
That doesn’t mean your recruitment experience is over.
Pay attention to how you feel.
This may be the most important advice I can give you.
Don’t just ask:
“Do they like me?”
Also ask:
“Do I like them?”
