Panhellenic Council members said Wednesday they wanted IFC fraternities to limit summer rush shirts to Greek letters only, in order to comply with a new national bylaw.

Panhellenic sororities would no longer be able to participate in men’s recruitment or wear men’s recruitment apparel because of a new National Pan-Hellenic Council requirement, Panhellenic president Lisa Allen said.

Allen said the sorority members would not wear the fraternity apparel if the fraternities decline the plea to remove the words “rush” and “recruitment.”

According to the NPHC website, a unanimous agreement determined the sororities would not be allowed to participate in men’s formal recruitment in 2011. This agreement aimed to help the Panhellenic sororities to stay “single-sex” organizations.

Allen said Title IX granted the sororities and fraternities the right to be “single-sex” organizations. To stay “single-sex” organizations, Panhellenic sororities had taken measures to ensure they would not be involved in men’s recruitment, Allen said.

“At other universities, they [fraternities] are putting individual women’s faces on shirts and promoting those girls and saying ‘If you join our fraternity, you will get these girls,’” Allen said. “That has never been a problem at TCU.”

Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Shannon Sumerlin also told Panhellenic members at Wednesday’s meeting that many interviews were being set up for the new Panhellenic adviser candidates.

“We [Sumerlin and coordinator Leah Carnahan] have a lot of really great candidates,” Sumerlin said. “There are some top quality people that we’re really excited about.”
