Jillian Hansen: Rho Gamma & Panhellenic President

Hello everyone!

     I’m Jillian Hansen and I am the current Panhellenic President here at Wichita State. I am also a Rho Gamma for the blue group and am super excited for recruitment this year! This is my second year serving as a Recruitment Counselor and I have found the experience extremely rewarding. I love talking to Potential New Members and mentoring them through their selection process of a lifelong organization membership. My favorite part of recruitment is on Bid Day (Monday of recruitment) when all the women find out what chapter they are a member of. The new members are excited and the chapter members are excited to welcome all their new sisters!

     I chose to go Greek for a couple reasons. My uncle was Greek at WSU and I remember him talking about his experience in his fraternity and how much fun they had with philanthropy, Hippodrome, date parties, and formals. The other reason I chose to go Greek was because WSU is a non-traditional campus and I felt like joining a sorority was the easiest and best way to get involved on campus. I held some leadership positions in high school and being Greek has been a great way for me to grow as a leader as well. 

      I have always hung around guys more than girls so at first I wasn’t sure how this whole sorority thing would pan out for me. But now, going into my senior year, I can confidently say I wouldn’t change it for the world. I have met so many amazing individuals, and as corny as it sounds-I really did find my bridesmaids. I love being Greek because everyone around you has their head on straight. As a Greek community we understand that school comes first. I love having someone Greek in every one of my classes. It’s something that instantly bonds you as a community. 

     I hope that your experience at WSU is fantastic and I know that by making the decision to join a sorority it will only add to your college experience. I am so excited to meet all of you and good luck!

Yellow Rho Gamma Group!

This fun group of women are excited to meet their potential new members and assist them with the recruitment process. They are: Chandel Dreyer (back), Chelsea Dey (middle), Lauren Mellor (front) and Taylor Clark (not pictured).

Here's our beautiful yellow group demonstrating what not to wear during the Saturday and Sunday of Recruitment. Saturday is a business attire day so think a sundress and cardigan, slacks or capri's with a nice shirt, a skirt and blouse or any combination that best represents you! Sunday is our most formal evening and we encourage you to dress it up a little but no need to pull out the prom dress! Suggestions for this nights attire are dresses or nice pants/skirt and blouse. Always remember to wear comfy shoes or bring a pair of flip flops for all the walking we will do! As always, these clothing guidelines are just suggestions to help you be as comfortable as possible. If you ever have any questions about what to wear just ask your Rho Gamma, that's one of the things she's there for!

Lisa Walterscheid: Rho Gamma

My name is Lisa Walterscheid and I am a Rho Gamma for Sorority Formal Recruitment in the fall! A Rho Gamma is a recruitment counselor that is a disaffiliated sorority member who guides potential new members through the process of recruitment. A Rho Gamma disaffiliates in order to maintain unbiased while women going through recruitment decide which chapter to call their own. I have the greatest job! Whether it’s an outfit dilemma or just being there to listen, I am here! I get to help women with one of the biggest decisions of their college years – it’s a lifetime commitment! You will never hear someone say that they used to be Greek. I think the one thing that I am excited for the most during recruitment is the chance to make strong, everlasting bonds with women that will be my Greek sisters. I am honored to be able to be a part of this experience. 

            To be honest, going Greek had never crossed my mind until a couple weeks before Formal Recruitment. My best friend was going through and she told me to go ahead and try it out. Throughout those six days, I fell in love with the chapters at Wichita State. They killed any idea of stereotypical sorority women that I had. Two years later, I can say that I can thank my friend for encouraging me to make one of the best decisions of my life so far. Although we are in different chapters, we are still sisters. After going Greek, I realized all that I had been missing in my life - sisterhood, service, and involvement. Words of advice for Formal Recruitment – smile, relax, and be yourself! If you find yourself feeling nervous, don’t be! Chapter members that you will be meeting will be just as nervous as you are, and I can tell you that from experience. Oh, and one more thing to remember for recruitment… don’t forget to say hi to me! :)
