what’s up with CU Panhellenic?

by: PANHEL   

I am starting to feel like cu panhel is really disorganized. I still can’t figure out how so many girls didn’t receive bids this year (?) Was quota set wrong or what? I went to panhel’s website and a lot of the info on there hasn’t been updated since 2020. I know they post on Insta, but how do you still have info from 2020 on your website? Like literally every other CU website is up to date except Boulder Panhellenic. 🙄

i believe almost every sorority hit quota this year (minus i believe tridelt) and there likely was just too many pnm’s and not enough spots. not to mention I know a lot of girls that suicide bid a house they wanted bc their other was a house they really didn’t like and they didn’t get bids bc of that.

And there’s no guarantee on what house may or may not cob in Spring right?

correct, no guarantee year to year who does cob. although I think most if not all took at least a few girls this past spring

houses might cob in spring if their house total changes due to december graduations or girls that drop but I don’t think anyone will know until next semester????

I thought quota was supposed to be set based on the number of pnms going through recruitment? If that’s true, how could it be possible to have “too many” girls and not enough bids? I’m so confused! 🤔

I think each house took around 150 girls. Can someone confirm?

I think it was the perfect storm this year. A record number of girls came through recruitment and panhel went from 10 houses down to 9 with Phi Mu’s shut down….

If some of these comments are correct, you won't be able to go through spring COB if you suicided and got dropped. You should call Panhel and ask if you are eligible to go through spring COB, or if you have to wait until next year's formal recruitment.

tbh-if a house dropped you once it’s pretty unlikely that you will get a bid from them in the future. Sorry : (

I went through formal as a freshman, got dropped by my fav house, dropped recruitment, and then cob and now I’m in the house that dropped me😂

panel’s website indicates that if you signed an mraba you are not eligible for cob or recruitment for one calendar year. If you did not sign the mraba and withdrew from recruitment prior to pref night you ARE eligible to cob. again, the problem is only one house is currently cobing

I cut and pasted this directly from the MRABA Form. Hope this helps:

"After signing this MRABA, I cannot accept any other bid until the beginning of the
next primary recruitment process on this campus.
I have never been initiated into an NPC sorority. I understand that if I join an NPC
sorority and choose to become an initiated member of that sorority, I cannot join
another NPC member organization, regardless of any circumstances.
I have read and understand this MRABA. I agree to its terms and I am bound by its terms."

Thanks for the info. Did they change the form this year because I know for a fact last year girls who suicided and got dropped then got picked up during fall and/or spring COB.

they were dealt a challenging situation (record number of PNMs, down one house) and fumbled HARD.
not only did many PNMs get dropped/drop from recruitment but from a logistical standpoint, it was a complete trainwreck.
Zoom calls started and running crazy late, conflicting info on COB/MRABA that is yet to be clarified (on the pref night zoom call they kept saying stuff that DIRECTLY contradicted what the MRABA said about that), technical difficulties and misspellings galore, terrible communication about everything (esp event times, dress codes, rush rules), no clear guide or reference for how to use ICS (led to some PNMs accidentally ranking wrong or not ranking at all), the pre bid day release calls didn’t even START going out by the time they said they’d be finished (giving tons of PNMs false relief), absolutely terrible greek buffs guide (misspellings, typos, weird formatting, inconsistencies, lack of helpful info & clarity, and most of all almost NOBODY knew about the guide in the first place because it was never printed and barely mentioned to the poor PNMs!), not to mention that their website is crazy outdated and difficult to navigate.

the houses and PNMs put so much time and energy into rush and you can tell it! but based panhel’s performance this rush, it looks like those in charge of fall recruitment cut corners and didn’t give the process the time and effort it NEEDS. shame.

100% agree. So glad the chapters were able to piece it all together. Ik that turnout was much greater than expected, but there is no excuse for all of the mistakes and miscommunications on the part of panhel. They should have either capped registration or increased quota. No hate, but this was an epic fail and a really bad look for CU greeklife!

I didn’t even know there was an updated Greek Buffs Guide. I found one from last year and just used it lol

I agree 100% with everything you have said. Is there a way to give this feedback to someone who actually cares and will make improvements for next year? The number of pnm’s will only go up next year with all of the national attention CU is getting this year with Prime.

i would think that panhel is painfully aware of these issues, but in the event they are not, I think it would be beneficial to reach out directly to cu panhel regarding these concerns
