RECRUITMENT
Meet our Recruitment Chairs!
Our names are Molly Walding and AC Worrell, and we have the honor of being the Recruitment Chairs for Chi Omega this year. It has been such a blessing getting to prepare to welcome new faces into our chapter during Formal Fall Recruitment. Our role is to serve and guide our chapter, work as a liaison between Panhellenic and our members, but most importantly to love and value each and every girl that walks through our doors during Recruitment!
We know Recruitment can feel overwhelming and maybe a little bit scary, but we are here to hopefully provide some encouragement and peace for you if you are coming through Recruitment this year. We remember our experience as a potential new members and feeling all the nerves, but also being equally so excited. Our heart behind this whole process is to serve as a light in such an unknown process. If you are feeling all of the same things we were feeling, just know that Chi Omega wants to get to know YOU! We want to know what makes you special and unique, because each of you are. Our advice to you is to just be undeniably yourself. Our deepest desire for Recruitment is just to connect with each of you in a real and honest way. We cannot express enough how honored we are that we have the privilege of meeting you. Beginning with Recruitment, college is a time of transition and change, but we hope that you can feel at home in Chi Omega.
When we look around at the women in this chapter, we are filled with admiration and gratitude at who we get to surround ourselves with everyday. These girls make us better, and push us to the fullest extent of our potential. These women exemplify gentleness without weakness, strength without severity, and humility without the slightest lack of confidence. Chi Omega will abundantly provide you with relationships that will refine you and teach you to live graciously and authentically. College is a big adjustment, but our hope is that Chi Omega will not only enhance your years at Auburn, but be the best part about your time here as a student. We know it has been for us.
We are so eager to meet you!
XOXO,
Molly Walding + AC Worrell

Dear Potential New Members,
Name: Paige Campbell
Hometown: Cape Girardeau, Missouri
Major: Nursing
What I do as New Member Educator:
My name is Paige, and I am so excited and honored to be serving as this year’s New Member Educator, or Mama Hoot as we like to call it in Chi O! This simply means that it is my job to walk alongside PC ‘24 as they begin their journey as official Chi Omegas. From bid day all the way until initiation, my job is to ultimately ensure that our new members feel welcomed, valued, seen, known and loved for exactly who they are in our chapter. I will also be teaching our new members the history and values of Chi O, as well as facilitating many events that allow opportunities for the new members to start making lifelong friendships! More than anything, I want to be someone the new members know they can come to with absolutely any of their needs; I will be their biggest cheerleader when things are going great, and I will be a shoulder to cry on when things get challenging. My freshman year was filled with so much excitement, but it also came with many challenges, so having my Mama Hoot there to love on me and pour into me meant so much and made me feel so at home in Chi O! I, along with the rest of our chapter, want to do the same thing for PC ‘24, because in Chi Omega, we value genuine friendships and a welcoming atmosphere where you can be exactly who you are!
What advice would you give to PNM’s coming through recruitment?:
It sounds so cliche and simple, but my biggest advice is to just be undeniably yourself throughout the whole process! Coming from out of state and knowing no one at Auburn, I was definitely scared that I would have to try and be someone that I wasn’t in order to “fit in” to a sorority at Auburn. Looking back, that was TOTALLY not true! During recruitment, it is so easy to start comparing yourself to girls around you, but each of you is made uniquely and in the image of Christ. Being yourself during recruitment and getting to share that with each chapter you visit is so much more special and important than the outfit you're wearing! I am SO eager to meet each of you, and I hope that in Chi O, you find a place where you truly can just be yourself; it is such a privilege to get to know you for YOU!
What am I most looking forward to about being the New Member Educator?
This is the hardest question to answer, as I am SO giddy about getting to do so many things as the New Member Educator! However, overall, I think I’m most excited to form relationships with each and every girl in PC ‘24. I know the transition into college and Greek life can be really difficult, and it looks so different for everyone; but, I can promise that you won’t have to do it alone! I truly cannot wait to be here to grab lunch or coffee in between your classes, go on walks to talk about how your year is really going, go on late night ice cream runs, and ultimately, just make you feel so loved and seen!
PC ‘24, I truly cannot wait to meet y’all. I know that moving into a new town, away from your family, and making new friends can be so scary and intimidating, but the Lord truly has placed y’all in Auburn for a reason! It is surreal to believe that I get to be in this position, but I am beyond excited to see how the Lord will use me during the season. But, most of all, I’m so eager to see how He will use each of y’all to show me, and our
chapter, a glimpse of the infinite goodness of God. I am excited to love on, learn from, and lead PC ’24 through one of the most exciting times as they step into college and Chi Omega! I have been praying for y’all since November, and I can’t wait to meet and love on each of you SOON! See y’all in August!
Xoxo,
Paige Campbell

Recruitment Team
New Member Team
The Recruitment Team is the group of women who handles decorations, clothing, food and everything in between. Without these ladies, recruitment would not be the rewarding and productive experience that it is each year. The unsung heroes of the week, the Recruitment Team works tirelessly to ensure everything goes off without a hitch while simultaneously keeping the morale high among the chapter during the week.
The New Member Team is a vital part in assisting the New Member Educator in welcoming and encouraging new members the moment they step into Chi Omega. These ladies serve as the executive board as they each form different relationships based on her position. These roles can range from scholarship needs to chaplain. Each New Member Team member is assigned a small group of new members to check up on regularly to ensure that they feel comfortable entering in and continuing through their first semester as a Chi Omega.
