Welcome from the Director of Greek Affairs Dear Parent (s): Congratulations on the eighteen years, or so, you have completed preparing your student for the next four years at the University of California, Santa Barbara. College can be a very nervous time for us, as parents, wondering if our students will get homesick or find their niche during their first year away from home. One avenue your student might want to consider is the UCSB fraternity and sorority system. Our system offers 35 organizations for students to explore. Becoming a member of a Greek-lettered organization is an experience that will last a lifetime. Students will meet peers who become fraternity brothers or sorority sisters. The organization serves as their home away from home or support system for their time at UCSB. During their tenure here students will discover tools via their organization that will enhance their scholarship, leadership, and citizenship skills. I am entering my tenth year working at UCSB in a variety of capacities and I have witnessed the maturation process for hundreds of our students; it is truly the highlight of my career. The Office of Greek Affairs is charged and driven to make sure that our students are safe, sound, and challenged to make the most of their collegiate experiences. We understand that our students will become leaders in the up and coming decades as Greek-lettered alumni have done since the inception of our prominent organizations. In conclusion, I would like to encourage you to support your student becoming involved in a structured club or organization. Research has proven that, statistically, students who participate in structured extra-curricular activities excel at higher levels during college than students who do not participate in such activities. I invite you to peruse our Website to learn more about our fraternity and sorority system http://www.sa.ucsb.edu/osl/GreekLife Sincerely,

Carola Alden Director of Greek Affairs

What Can Greek Life Offer You?

Leadership Sororities and fraternities offer countless opportunities for leadership. Upon your very first quarter of joining a house, you can become an officer or a member of the executive board. Greeks are some of UCSB’s strongest leaders and hold leadership positions in many UCSB organizations. It’s no wonder that so many of our country’s leaders have been fraternity men and sorority women!

Scholarship UCSB Greeks are also strong academically, boasting an average fraternity GPA that is higher than the all-men’s GPA and an average sorority GPA that is higher than the all women’s average. Greeks are rewarded for these accomplishments with induction into honor societies such as Order of Omega and ceremonies like Greek Awards. There will always be an older brother or sister in your house who has taken that difficult class you’re in and would love to help!

Service As a community, Greeks donated thousands of dollars and community service hours to various local and national organizations last year. Each house puts on a philanthropy event to benefit such great causes as cardiac care, domestic violence support, children’s after school programs, and cancer research. Greeks also volunteer their time at local retirement homes, schools, community centers, and homeless shelters in Santa Barbara.

Networking and Support The community and family that a fraternity or sorority can offer you is no doubt its greatest benefit. Brothers and sisters care about each other and love to help each other out, before and after graduation. Even as an alumni of UCSB, various job opportunities and internships are made possible because of your Greek letter connections.

Sororities

great women go greek.

Top 10 Reasons to Join a Sorority 1. We’re Smart. Many Greeks are in Honors Programs, on the Dean’s List, and in Order of Omega. Sororities also continuously have a higher GPA than the all-women’s average. 2. We’re Diverse. Fraternities and sororities represent the rich diversity of the campus population. 3. We’re Responsible. All sororities and fraternities have members participate in awareness programs which focus on hazing prevention, the safe use of alcohol, dangers of drug use, and sexual assault prevention. 4. We Help Others. UCSB Sorority members participate in countless hours of community service efforts and contribute annually to local and national charitable organizations. 5. We’re Leaders. Greek women are involved in an array of campus activities, hold campus leadership positions, and are enthusiastic supporters of University events. 6. We Don’t Tolerate Hazing. Hazing is against the law, and at UCSB this law is enforced, plain and simple! Educational presentations are given to members in meetings that outline the definition and consequences of hazing. 7. We’re Affordable. Sororities offer the most affordable housing near campus. Owning private housing adjacent to campus allows groups to maintain an average cost of $500-$700 a month for room, dues, and board... an obvious bargain! 8. We’re Not Rich. Greek members are not all wealthy! Men and women in fraternities and sororities maintain jobs and internships, receive financial aid, and obtain in-chapter payment plans to afford their college education. 9. We Network. Sorority women are afforded networking opportunities through alumnae for job assistance, advice, and internships when entering the work force. 10. We Have Fun. Greeks have fun! Sorority and fraternity members maintain a balance between the classroom and personal time through events such as socials, date parties, retreats and formals.

Collegiate Panhellenic Council The Collegiate Panhellenic Council (Panhellenic) is the governing board for 10 sororities at the University of California, Santa Barbara. This board consists of 10 elected officials, one from each chapter, as well as 10 chapter delegates. The board meets weekly to facilitate communication and to encourage peaceful relationships among the Greek community. Panhellenic also organizes and runs CPC Fall Recruitment, with the help of select recruitment counselors from each house. Panhellenic was founded on the principle of Greek life being a social experience based on the fundamental right of a free people to form voluntary associations. Panhellenic also stands for service through the development of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship that is important in individual and Greek life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which it strives to live.

fraternity life at UCSB In addition to leading the UCSB community in academics, athletics, and community service, UCSB fraternities have a pretty good time together! They participate in philanthropies by playing soccer, volleyball, football, baseball, golf and many other sports with their fraternity brothers.

At Phi Sig, we work hard and we play hard. Last year, we raised money for the Special Olympics and house-boated outside Las Vegas at Lake Mead. We went to Mexico and we have had more students involved with campus organizations and on the Inter-Fraternity Council executive board than any other fraternity. We do the fun stuff fraternities are known for and the impressive stuff that helps our brothers out during and past their college years. Phi Sigma Kappa is one of the oldest fraternities at UCSB, founded in 1966, and boasts one of the largest alumni bases. Brothers from our chapter at UCSB are Superior Court Justices, successful businessmen at Santa Barbara, and one even kidnapped Patty Hearst (James Kilgore 1966).

United Fraternity Sorority Council Fraternities The United Fraternity-Sorority Council (UFSC) at UCSB was started by groups of

students that perceived a need for association and support. UFSC currently oversees 11 fraternities and sororities at the UCSB campus. Each group has academic excellence as a main priority and offers a sense of community; a small family-like atmosphere of friends within the larger university setting. These fraternities and sororities offer opportunities for community service, scholarship, leadership, and friendship. Although all of the fraternities and sororities at UCSB are open to students of any ethnicity, background, or interest, these specificallyfocused Greek letter organizations highlight, celebrate, and appreciate not only the students of various backgrounds and cultures, but also the culture and traditions contained within the specific focus of the particular fraternity or sorority.

Greeks Make a Difference!

The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) was formed in 1930 on the campus of Howard University.

Financial Information Joining a fraternity or sorority is a great opportunity, but it is important to realize that you are joining an organization that needs funding to be able to continue its functions. As a member you will make payments for chapter dues, national dues, social functions, house maintenance, and other expenses that the chapter needs to pay. Each chapter has different costs and thus the payments vary from house to house, but they are all in the same range. Payment plans and scholarships are usually available for students who wish to join but are limited by financial constraints. The first quarter that you become a new member in a fraternity or sorority will be the most expensive. There are one-time payments including initiation fees, new member fees, and badge or pin fees. After these payments are made the costs of the fraternity or sorority will significantly decrease. Members that live in the chapter house find it less expensive than living in on-campus housing, other dorms, or apartments in Isla Vista. This is an excellent way to keep your expenses down and provide a wonderful experience during your time here at UCSB.

Greek Housing vs. UCSB Housing Costs Average Greek House Room and Board: $6,470 per year (nine or ten-month contract, average meals per week 12.5, includes all utilities except phone) Average Residence Hall Room and Board: $10,786 per year (nine-month contract, average meals per week 14, does not include phone or cable) Average IV Apartment or House Room only: $12,480 per year (twelve-month contract, does not reflect cost of food or utilities) Average Sorority Costs New Member Quarter: Dues and National and One-Time Fees: $700-900 Active Quarters: Dues and Annual National Fees: $500-700 (for actives not living in the chapter house) $300 (for actives living in)

Greek Glossary

Frequently Asked Questions About Recruitment What is “Rush Week” and what is a “Bid?” Recruitment (or “Rush”) Week is a week-long event during which fraternities and sororities seek and recruit potential new members. The first few days of the week will give potential new members the opportunity to visit each chapter and get to know some of the members. Bid Day (Friday for fraternities and Saturday for sororities) is when “bids,” or formal invitations to join a chapter, will be extended to students in Greek Park. They will be administered by members of either IFC or CPC and no other Greek members will be present in order to ensure that students can make their decision without any pressure.

How will my grades by impacted by membership in a fraternity or sorority? Fraternities and sororities serve as great academic resources for students with programs such as study hours, library visits, tutoring programs, time management workshops, and study groups. These are common practices in Greek organizations that foster academic achievement among members. Most chapters require a GPA of 2.5 or higher for both initial membership in the organization and in order to remain an active member. IFC and Panhellenic councils require fraternities and sororities to maintain a minimum chapter GPA and they must be within .2 of the all-campus average in order to be recognized by the University. It is important to note that the average GPA for new members of fraternities and sororities typically exceeds the all-campus average. Academic success is made a priority in the Greek system not only in the first year of membership, but throughout their time at UCSB.

ALUMNUS/NA: BID: BID DAY: CHAPTER: CHAPTER HOUSE: COLONY: COLLEGIATE PANHELLENIC COUNCIL (CPC) DISAFFILIATION:

Will I have time for a fraternity or sorority? Being a Greek member may consume a small or large amount of your time. In any given week, it is typical for a member to have one chapter meeting, one new member meeting during his/her first quarter pledging an organization, one or two social events, and study hours. Greek students have the opportunity to participate in many more ways, such as intramural sports, community service, recruitment, and assuming leadership positions within the chapter. The level of involvement depends on the individual. Greek students learn quickly how to manage their busy schedules, which helps them academically at UCSB and after graduation as they begin their careers.

Does hazing still exist as part of the pledging process for fraternities and sororities? UCSB has a zero-tolerance policy regarding hazing that is consistent with California state law. Hazing includes any activity that subjects a member to harassment, ridicule, intimidation, physical exhaustion, abuse, or mental distress. Hazing is contrary to the purpose of the Greek community and the University. If you feel that you or someone you know is participating in inappropriate activities as a result of membership in a fraternity or sorority, you should contact the Office of Greek Affairs at 805-893-8463. Calls will be handled in a discreet manner.

Are sororities and fraternities at UCSB similar to negative portrayals in the media? No. Greek organizations are held accountable to California state laws and UCSB risk management policies regarding alcohol consumption. Organizations work closely with their respective governing councils as well as with the Greek Affairs office to conduct safe social activities. Since the Greek Community at UCSB contributes to the social activity on campus, the Greek Community has taken great strides towards creating a responsible and safe environment for its members.

Will I be expected to live in the chapter house during my freshman year? Some sororities and fraternities may accommodate a freshman who wishes to live in the chapter house, but most freshmen do not live in the chapter house their freshman year. Some houses have one or two years of mandatory live in, but that policy varies for each house and usually only applies to second or third year students. The reason for these policies is that in order for a chapter house to be self-supporting, they need members to live in the house to generate necessary funds to keep the house open. If you are concerned with the housing policies of any chapter, just ask during rush week. Typically, living in the house decreases the cost of dues. Compared to housing in Isla Vista, fraternities and sororities are a cost-effective alterative to the pervasively high rent. Living in the chapter house is also one of the highlights of fraternity and sorority membership.

Do I have to rush in the fall? There are two IFC organized recruitment periods for those interested in joining a fraternity and they occur in the fall and spring. More individuals turn out for rush in the fall as past membership numbers have indicated. Some houses hold informal rushes during the winter which are not run by IFC. Some houses even recruit and extend membership to individuals throughout the school year. The timing depends on when you feel most comfortable participating in rush and the option is open throughout your enrollment at UCSB. Collegiate Panhellenic Council formal recruitment only occurs once a year in the fall.
