WELCOME TO PANHELLENIC AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE
empowering women. building communities. living our values.
A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Hello Everyone! Welcome to the University of Delaware’s Panhellenic Council website! We are thrilled with your interest in our community and encourage you to explore our website to continue to learn more!
University of Delaware’s Panhellenic Council consists of 13 National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Chapters with 3,000+ women in the community. While each of our chapters holds their own special and unique values, we are united by our community values of passion, respect, authenticity and unity. Through our values based recruitment process all of the women within our community have been able to find a place they can consider home. Every one of our chapters on campus have strong focuses on philanthropy, sisterhood, and academic excellence, ultimately creating well rounded and driven women in both their personal lives and in our community. I am so proud to announce that we’ve had the gracious opportunity to extend our beloved home to Kappa Delta in the Spring of 2026. Our chapters are very eager to give KD a warm welcome to our campus & are so excited to watch our new sisters thrive.
A reflection on my experience at the University of Delaware:
Serving our community of incredible women on the Panhellenic Executive Board the past 2 years has been nothing short of an amazing experience. For the past two years, I’ve tried to find the words to articulate how deeply my journey at the University of Delaware has been impacted. Everyday, I am continuously inspired by our members who emulate our values of passion, authenticity, respect and unity. I am incredibly proud of the way our chapters don’t just collaborate in their shared space, but how they give one another a shoulder to lean on and challenge one another to become stronger. It’s not just our community that recognizes our value, but I am so proud of the fact that we’ve received exceptional feedback from external figures who’ve had the opportunity to engage with UD Panhellenic. I’ve held this experience & community in the highest regard as it starts with our members, will continue with our chapters and leaves behind a lasting legacy of Panhellenic love.
Christina Addessi | Panhellenic President

HOW RECRUITMENT WORKS
At the University of Delaware, sorority recruitment occurs during two main periods: Spring Formal Recruitment and Continuous Open Bidding (COB).
Spring Recruitment is a structured mutual selection process where potential new members can engage with all 12 chapters on campus. This period allows PNM's to immerse themselves in each chapter's unique values, traditions, and sisterhood culture, providing a comprehensive introduction to sorority life at UD.
COB offers ongoing opportunities to connect with sororities who choose to participate, starting after Spring Recruitment and extending into the fall semester. These informal events allow PNMs to meet chapter members in a casual setting.
Whether you participate in Spring Recruitment or COB, Panhellenic at UD invites you to discover the lifelong bonds, leadership opportunities, and meaningful experiences that sorority membership can offer.
