Tri Sigma's Recruitment Process at Penn State

Our Recruitment Process

We are looking for women who are just like you.  

Women who are caring, giving, innovative, leaders who want to make their mark and give back to their community as they form a sisterhood together. We want to recruit today’s modern sorority woman. A woman who will be invested in her academics, learn key skills for a successful future, and be empowered to change the world.

Tri Sigma works very hard to find women that not only meet our membership standards but also share a common vision for what a new chapter would be or do here at Penn State. While they come from diverse backgrounds and share a variety of interests, a shared vision for their sisterhood is what brings the group together and makes a viable new chapter.
