What’s a Pi Chi?

In order to make your recruitment experience a more enjoyable one, you will have a Pi Chi, or recruitment counselor, to help you along. There are about 120 to 140 Pi Chis. Each Pi Chi is a sorority member who has separated herself from her sorority since the end of Spring Semester so that she will be prepared to objectively counsel you as you participate in recruitment.

The Pi Chi will serve as a guide to this small group and she will help make recruitment a more manageable experience for you. Even if you don’t pledge, the friends that you make through your Pi Chi and your Pi Chi group will make recruitment worthwhile.

One thing that sets the Auburn Panhellenic community apart is that we are very united. Friendships expand beyond the walls of a particular sorority and Pi Chis exhibit this. Every single Pi Chi spends the recruitment week growing closer with girls they may have never met and this shows the closeness of our Panhellenic community.

Part of what makes your Pi Chi a worthy confidante is that she is disaffiliated from her sorority so that you can freely share your thoughts with her. It is a secret which sorority she is a member of. The most important thing she wants you to know is that she is a member of Panhellenic, and that each of our Panhellenic groups is great. Our Panhellenic community is very united and that is something that sets Auburn apart. At the end of the week, your Pi Chi will reveal her affiliation to you, so don’t spoil the fun by trying to find out which sorority she belongs to before the time has arrived.
