All 2027 Recruitment advisors, MVPs, Panhellenic recruitment supervisors, recruitment team leader, Panhellenic team leader and our chief Panhellenic officer are invited to attend. In the event a chapter does not have a recruitment advisor, another advisor should attend in their place. 

New this year, we will also be inviting a small cohort of PRVPs from a select group of chapters. These PRVPs will be taking part in a pilot program that will help to inform our Recruitment Summit programming in future years. Attendance will be complimentary and will be by invitation only. 

Attire for the weekend is business casual (no jeans, sweatpants, t-shirts, tank tops or flip flops). Business casual dress includes nice slacks, skirts, dresses and cardigans. You will be provided with a name badge upon arrival and are expected to wear this throughout the weekend. Saturday night and Sunday’s attire will be Gamma Phi Beta casual, so wear your best early-round recruitment outfit.

We encourage chapters experiencing financial barriers to attendance to apply for a Recruitment Summit scholarship. Click here to apply for a Recruitment Summit registration and/or travel scholarship. All submissions are due by December 3, 2026. Selected participants will be notified by Thursday, December 10. If applying for a scholarship, please refrain from registering until after the scholarships are awarded, at which time you will be provided with further registration details.  

Scholarships are evaluated and awarded based on chapter financial need. We have a limited number of scholarships available, so please only submit one application for your MVP and/or recruitment advisor. 

Please plan to arrive in St. Louis by 4 p.m. on Friday, February 26, 2028. The welcome dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m. 

All programming will wrap up by noon on Sunday, February 28, 2027. You may depart at your leisure any time after 12 p.m. if you’re driving or 1:30 p.m. if you are flying.  

It’s expected that all attendees will participate in the full Recruitment Summit experience. Any late arrivals and early departures must be approved by Director of Conferences and Meetings Page Adams. Please email her in advance for approval.  

If you encounter flight restrictions that will not allow you to arrive in time or that will force you to depart early, please contact Page Adams prior to booking your flight. She may be able to assist you in finding an alternative flight that will accommodate a timely arrival and departure.  

Please indicate your allergies or dietary needs when you register. You’ll be provided with an allergy card at registration and required to bring this to all meals to indicate your preferences. All information will also be shared with the hotel banquet staff. 

The following accommodations will be available to all Recruitment Summit attendees: 

• Learning materials created with high-contrast colors and increased screen reader compatibility. 

Additional accommodation is available during Recruitment Summit and can be found within the Recruitment Summit registration form. Attendees seeking additional accommodations can select from those provided or provide accommodations not listed within the registration form. Additional accommodations questions can be directed to Page Adams. 

All Recruitment Summit cancellation requests must be in writing and emailed to International Headquarters (IH). Please send written requests to Karima Soliman by January 29, 2027. Any cancellations after that date will be subject to a $50 cancellation fee. After February 19, 2027, registrations are 100% nonrefundable. No exceptions.    

We’re no longer able to accommodate attendees who have not paid for their event registrations before arrival. Please ensure that your attendance has been paid in full before arriving in St. Louis. If you arrive at Recruitment Summit and your registration fee is still outstanding, you will be unable to check in for the event unless you pay on-site by check or credit card. All event fees should be paid by Friday, January 29, 2027.

Yes, all volunteer attendees are required to be current on international alumnae dues for current fiscal year (August 1 through July 31) or be a Life Loyal member. If you arrive at the event and are still outstanding on your dues, you will have the opportunity to pay your dues or join Life Loyal when you check in for the event.  

All matching roommate requests will be honored to the best of our ability. For example, if Shana and Jasmine both request each other, they will be paired together. However, if Shana requests Jasmine but Jasmine and Elsa request to room with one another, then the matching request will be honored. Please make sure you discuss roommate pairings before the close of registration so that everyone is clear on their roommates, and they are assigned accordingly.  

No changes will be made after the registration deadline. If you need a roommate, leave that section blank during registration and you will be paired at random. You will not be alerted to the name of your roommate in advance. Instead, you will find out when you arrive who your roommate is and what chapter she is from. Come prepared to make a new friend! 

All membership vice presidents will be booked in a double occupancy room with another MVP. We do our best to pair MVPs with a chapter in your region that is of a similar size.   

Please email Page Adams to alert her of your issues and let her know your estimated time of arrival. 

No, we don’t allow event participants to commute to the hotel. All participants are required to stay on property to fully immerse themselves in the education, sisterhood and networking that the weekend has to offer. 

You will need to email Karima Soliman to see if there is still availability.
