Recruitment is commonly referred to as "rush." The Panhellenic Association follows the Recruitment guidelines set forth by the NPC. Because of this, Recruitment at The College of New Jersey is set up as a mutual selection process, and lasts approximately one week. Women who are seeking to become members of a sorority, and therefore are participating in the Recruitment activities, are known as Potential New Members. Recruitment is designed so that Potential New Members and the sorority sisters interact with each other; this helps both groups make educated decisions about which chapters match best with which Potential New Members.

Helping with this process are the Rho Gammas (Rush Guides). Rho Gammas are sisters who guide Potential New Members through the period of Recruitment; they attend Recruitment activities with Potential New Members, explain the processes involved, and offer advice about how to find the organization which best suits the Potential New Member. During Recruitment, Rho Gammas are disaffiliated. They are not allowed to associate with their sisters during this time period, and the organizations that they are members of must remain anonymous. This is because Rho Gammas guide Potential New Members through the entire Recruitment process, and therefore, the affiliation of a Rho Gamma may influence the Potential New Member's decision about which sorority best suits her.

Recruitment culminates with Bid Day Party. On Bid Day, Potential New Members receive their bids (a bid is an invitation to join a sorority), and the chapters discover which women will soon be joining their sorority. Also on this day, the affiliations of the Rho Gammas are revealed. After Bid Day, Potential New Members are known as "New Members" of their specified organization. Bid Day is always exciting, because the addition of New Members always changes the sorority--for the better!
