2017 Sorority Recruitment Frequently Asked Questions
Regarding On-Campus Move-In
Residential Life is pleased to provide early arrival housing status for women that are participating in Sorority Recruitment and living on campus. The following list of Frequently Asked Questions is to assist you in planning your arrival to campus.
Who is eligible to move in early?
Any potential member who has registered for Sorority Recruitment and is living on campus for fall 2017 or any active sorority member who is living on campus for fall 2017.
Where will I stay when I arrive early to campus?
You will be able to move directly into your fall 2017 assignment.
How do I register to move in early?
For Potential Members, you can indicate on your Sorority Recruitment registration that you are living on campus and will need to move-in prior to recruitment and pay the additional $120 through the registration process. This covers housing costs for Saturday through Wednesday nights.
Active sorority members, please email Madison Hopper, PHC President (), by July 1 to request that you be added to the early move-in list that Panhellenic will provide to Residential Life. You may move in on Thursday, August 10 starting at 12pm. Housing costs through August 16 (6 nights) will total $178.00. Your LSU Fee Bill will show this charge during the second week of classes. Panhellenic will communicate early arrivals to Residential Life and the in-hall staff will be prepared for your arrival.
When may I move in prior to Sorority Recruitment?
Out-of-state students may check-in beginning at 10am on Friday, August 11 and in-state students may check-in beginning at 8am on Saturday, August 12. Your home address on file with LSU will be used to determine your in-state or out-of-state status. If you are approved to move in as an out-of-state student, an additional charge of $30.00 for Friday night will be placed on your fee bill by Residential Life during the second week of classes.
All students approved to check-in on Friday, August 11 should check-in from 10am-5pm
Students (except for Miller residents) checking in on Saturday, August 12, should check in from 8am-12pm
Miller residents with a last name starting with A-K check in on Saturday, August 12 from 8am – 10am
Miller residents with a last name starting with L-Z check in on Saturday, August 12 from 10am – 12pm
What if I cannot check-in during the times specified?
All residence hall and apartment front desks will be staffed 24-hours during this period and staff will be happy to check you in.
I live more than 3 hours away from LSU. Can I be considered an out-of-state student?
Yes, we understand that certain distances in Louisiana could be considered out-of-state. Home addresses outside of a 3 hour radius of LSU will be considered out-of-state. You will have an opportunity to indicate on your registration that you live more than 3 hours from campus. As an out-of-state student, an additional charge of $30.00 for Friday night will be placed on your fee bill by Residential Life during the second week of classes.
Where do I go to check-in?
Regardless of the day you are scheduled to check-in, you may check-in at the front desk for your building/community.
Can I arrive on an earlier date than I am approved for?
Unfortunately, no. Residential Life asks that all Early Arrivals check in on the day in which they were approved.
How can I verify what day I may check-in?
You will receive an email confirmation of your Sorority Recruitment registration and move-in approval from Greek Life; this will be your confirmation.
My roommate is moving in on Thursday or Friday, but I am an in-state student that cannot move in until Saturday. Can I move in with my roommate?
Unfortunately, no. Residential Life asks that all Early Arrivals check in on the day in which they are approved. Students that fail to comply with this policy will be charged for housing costs and could be subject to the disciplinary process.
I am approved to arrive early but my roommate(s)/apartment mate(s) are not involved in Sorority Recruitment. Can they move in early?
Unfortunately, no. Students approved to arrive early are prohibited from allowing non-approved roommates to move in early. Students that fail to comply with this policy will be charged for housing costs and could be subject to the disciplinary process.
I am attending STRIPES Session 3 and need to remain on campus after the program concludes on Thursday, August 10, 2017. What do I do?
Only out-of-state those students attending STRIPES Session 3 or students required to arrive to campus early, such as those participating in Sorority Recruitment, will be granted permission to remain on campus after the program. You will need to contact the STRIPES office and request permission to remain on campus after the program has concluded. STRIPES will let Residential Life know those students that are allowed to remain on campus and the in-hall staff will be prepared for your arrival. Because your housing for Thursday and Friday nights will not have been paid for through the Sorority Recruitment registration process, a charge of $59.00 for those two nights will be placed on your fee bill by Residential Life during the second week of classes.
I am participating in Sorority Recruitment and will be living on campus for BIOS, which ends on Friday, August 11, 2017.When may I check in?
We understand that moving multiple times in less than a day is difficult. As such, we will automatically approve both in-state and out-of-state Sorority Recruitment BIOS participants to check-in to their fall assignments when BIOS concludes on Friday, August 11. This approval will happen automatically by Residential Life. Please note that this option is only available for students who live on campus for BIOS. We ask that you complete your move by 5pm on Friday, August 11. If you choose to check-in on Friday, August 11, a charge of $30 for Friday night will be placed on your fee bill by Residential Life during the second week of classes.
