The Panhellenic Council is the student-run government body of the University of Western Ontario 's Sorority community. In joining a sorority at Western, a woman becomes a member, not only of her respective sorority, but also of the sorority community, a community which encompasses five sororities and 250+ members. Together, the Panhellenic Council makes important decisions regarding sorority events at UWO, the most important of which is Recruitment in the fall.

What is Rush/Formal Recruitment?
Formal Sorority Recruitment, often referred to as “Rush”, takes place each fall at the University of Western Ontario and is the process in which you go through to join a sorority. Recruitment occurs at the beginning of the school year and consists of a set of events that span over two weeks. These events include information meetings, recruitment parties, and other activities in which you will have the opportunity to meet individual sororities and figure out which sorority is right for you. For more information on the dates and the process, please see the Rush section.
