Karsyn Stehlik | Panhellenic Vice President of Recruitment Operations
“Hey everyone!
My name is Karsyn Stehlik, and I serve as the Vice President of Recruitment Operations for the Collegiate Panhellenic Council at the University of Missouri - Kansas City. In this role, I help ensure everything runs smoothly on the chapter side during recruitment. I manage registration, coordinate schedules, and support chapter recruitment chairs through monthly meetings as we prepare for the big weekend! I work closely with the rest of the recruitment team to make the process exciting, encouraging, and memorable for both our chapters and potential new members. When I first went through recruitment, I had no idea just how much Greek life would impact my college journey. Now, heading into my junior year, I can confidently say that joining this incredible community has been one of the most meaningful parts of my college experience. Panhellenic offers so much more than just sisterhood — it opens doors to academic success, career growth, and opportunities to give back through service. Recruitment is such a special time, and I’m truly thankful to play a part in helping potential new members find their forever homes. I can’t wait to see everyone on campus this August!
With love,
Karsyn Stehlik, Vice President of Recruitment Operations”

“Dear Potential New Members,
Welcome to an exciting chapter of your college experience—sorority recruitment at The University of Missouri - Kansas City! This journey is about so much more than joining a group. It’s about finding a place where you can grow, lead, and make an impact. At UMKC, our sororities are filled with individuals who are passionate about making a difference. From aspiring professionals in fields like medicine and business to dedicated volunteers and activists, our members are driven to leave a mark on the world around them.
Sororities here are more than just social groups. They’re networks of support, ambition, and empowerment. Our members take leadership roles across campus, participating in everything from academic clubs and student government to advocacy groups and creative arts. Whatever your passion is, you’ll find sisters who are ready to encourage you, cheer you on, and help you achieve your goals.
When I first considered joining a sorority, I had no idea how much it would shape my college experience. Not only did I gain lifelong friendships, but I found a community that challenged me to grow, supported me during tough times, and celebrated every success with me. The connections I’ve made, both personally and professionally, have been invaluable—and I know they’ll continue long after graduation.
As you begin recruitment, I encourage you to stay open to the experience and take it all in. This is your chance to meet incredible people, showcase your true values, and find a place that feels like home. Each sorority has something special to offer, and I’m confident you’ll find a group that aligns with your values and goals.
Good luck, and enjoy every moment of this process. We’re so excited to meet you and can’t wait to see how you’ll contribute to our vibrant community!
With enthusiasm,
Ava O’Gara, CPC Vice president of Recruitment Experience”
