Joining Alpha Omega Epsilon
Before joining Alpha Omega Epsilon as an initiated member, interested Potential New Members (PNMs) must go through our Fall Recruitment process through which they may be offered a bid, and if accepted, they will go onto complete a 6-week candidacy period to show growth in the three pillars of the sorority before becoming initiated.
How often does Alpha Omega Epsilon hold Recruitment?
Currently, the sorority holds Recruitment once a year during the Fall. We do not offer a Continuous Open Bidding process for PNMs to join the sorority outside of Recruitment.
What does Recruitment consist of/what does the process look like?
Recruitment consists of three days of events centered around our pillars (sisterhood, professionalism, and philanthropy). During these three days you will have conversations with current members. Throughout this process you will expect to see what it is like to be a part of our STEM sorority through the events we host during recruitment. After the three days of recruitment events you will go through the interview process. Interviews typically last 30 minutes, and you will be asked questions about yourself and questions centered around our pillars. We hope that throughout the course of recruitment you get the experience of what it is to be in Alpha Omega Epsilon to see if we are the right fit for you!
Do I need to attend every single Recruitment event?
No! It is not required to attend all events, but still highly encouraged. All recruitment events are intended to help interested individuals connect with members of Alpha Omega Epsilon through the events planned around our pillars (sisterhood, professionalism, and philanthropy). Attending events helps current sisters become familiar with you.
Is there a dress code for recruitment?
There is no dress code! You can come in whatever you are comfortable in. Some events like our PJ & Ice Cream social or Bid Day have fun themes you can dress up to, but wear what makes you feel confident & comfortable!
