Rho Gammas
Recruitment is an exciting and memorable experience, but it can be a hectic and emotional time as well. Recruitment counselors, referred to as Rho Gammas, are undergraduate women at WMU who are there to assist you throughout the Recruitment process. You will be assigned to a Rho Gamma group at the beginning of Recruitment. She will be there to support you throughout the week!
Rho Gammas, who have participated in recruitment themselves, have been through an extensive semester-long training program in preparation for Recruitment week. They have your best interest at heart and are available to help you during the week of recruitment by serving as an impartial listener and friend.

Why I chose to be a Rho Gamma: I chose to be a Rho Gamma because being in a sorority has opened me up so much at WMU and I have made so many life long friendships. Before joining a sorority I was shy and introverted but after joining I have grown into more of a confident and outgoing person than I ever have been. This experience has made me want to help others find where they can grow in this way too.

My Biggest Tip for Recruitment:
Ask questions! Whether it’s to your Rho gamma, an active in the chapter, or someone on panhel, always ask! We want to be as transparent as possible, so if there is anything you are unsure about or need some clarity on, never be afraid to ask someone!
