Recruitment Counselor Job Description
Once selected as a Recruitment Counselor, it is your responsibility to become disaffiliated from
your chapter. This is done so the Recruitment Counselor can better promote the entire
university and all chapters that make up the Panhellenic Association. You will gain knowledge
during training about every chapter and about recruitment rules and procedures so that you can
be a knowledgeable resource to all potential new members. Recruitment Counselors aid PNMs
throughout the recruitment process as well as give these women their first impressions of LRU
and our entire fraternity and sorority community.
