Victoria Area Alumnae Panhellenic Association
We are very excited to have had an outstanding recruitment in 2021-2022. Fifteen young ladies from our area pledged sororities. We have a wonderful team of reference writers, but we need support from all of our Panhellenic sisters.
As we move to Evite invitations and the use of social media to contact members we need your help.
Please verify your contact information here:
We know not everyone can give their time, but if you could commit to paying your yearly $25 Panhellenic dues, VAAPA can continue to pay the yearly website fees and help future young ladies be part of this amazing family. Dues can be paid online or checks can be mailed to the address provided.

WHY GO GREEK?
Coming to a large campus can leave students feeling alone. The Greek community helps to instantly connect students to the campus. During your college years, sororities emphasize scholarship; promote leadership, philanthropic efforts and lifelong friendships. These relationships transcend ordinary friendships to become that of a brother or a sister. Like family ties, the bond formed is for a lifetime.
ACADEMIC
As a member in the Greek community you will be encouraged to become involved in campus activities. Each chapter provides resources for members to develop as leaders through educational programming in time management, leadership and communication. Because Greek members gain experience through delegating responsibility, motivating members, and communicating effectively, many serve as leaders in an array of campus organizations.
-

RECRUITMENT ROUNDTABLE
As you are about to enter college, you will make many new decisions. Joining a sorority can be one of the most meaningful experiences, which will have lifelong benefits. The Victoria Area Alumnae Panhellenic Association (VAAPA) looks forward to sharing the opportunities awaiting you with membership in a sorority. Membership is for a lifetime. During your college years, sororities emphasize scholarship, promote leadership, philanthropic efforts and lifelong friendships.
A sorority is a private organization whose members have been elected to establish a close affiliation and friendship with one another. For more than 100 years, sororities have demonstrated leadership, achievement, educational and philanthropic involvement. Today there are 26 national sororities recognized by the National Panhellenic Conference.
Please join us for Recruitment Roundtable. Bring your mom, tell your friends, and come meet VAAPA members who will answer questions and help walk you through the recruitment process.
