Hi there! My name is Charlotte Paine, and I am Pi Alpha’s Vice President of Membership for Formal Recruitment this year. It is an honor to serve the women of this chapter, and I cannot wait to meet you all in the fall!

 

As a PNM, I had no idea where the recruitment process would take me, but I knew that I was excited to meet some of the Panhellenic women and experience Greek Life for myself. After visiting Delta Zeta in round 2, I knew I loved them. The women I spoke to were genuine, compassionate, and energetic; they embodied the home I hoped to find by going through this process. I saw parts of myself in each woman I spoke with. Each time I went back to the house, it felt like I was talking to friends I’d known for months, and I truly felt like they cared about me and who I was. 

 

After almost two years in this chapter, these women continue to bring light into my life. They empower, support, and uplift each other. They have taught me how to stick up for myself and be confident in who I am. They make everyday things, like meals or running errands, fun and meaningful. And they are some of my closest and dearest friends. 

 

As you navigate this process yourself, I encourage you to remain open minded. I hope you find a place where you feel comfortable, supported, valued, and heard. Remember: this process is for YOU. And wherever the recruitment process takes you, I hope you find a love that is ever steadfast. 

 

Truly,

​

Charlotte Paine
