the four pillars of

fraternity & sorority life

1 service Service to the community is considered a top priority at the University of Iowa. In addition to community service, fraternities and sororities sponsor a variety of fundraising events called philanthropies for both national and local charitable organizations. Individual chapter philanthropies include BBQs, tug-of-war competitions, and various basketball or volleyball tournaments. Chapters also come together as a UI Fraternity/Sorority community to participate in campus-wide philanthropy and service events. These events include Dance Marathon, blood drives, Trick or Treat with the Greeks, Habitat for Humanity builds, and much more. In 2013, fraternities and sororities raised over $400,000 to contribute to Dance Marathon's fundraising total of $1,801,032.20.

In 2013, the Fraternity/Sorority Community contributed over 47,000 hours of Community Service and donated over $523,000 to various organizations, including: • Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

• Habitat for Humanity

• American Heart Association

• Children's Miracle Network

• Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation

• Circle of Sisterhood

• Make a Wish Foundation

• American Cancer Society

• Crisis Center of Iowa City

• Iowa City Community Schools

• Big Brothers & Big Sisters

• Dance Marathon

• St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

• United Way of Johnson & Washington Counties

• Ronald McDonald Foundation

2 scholarship

Fraternity & Sorority Chapters strive for the development of excellent among their entire membership. All chapters require a minimum grade point average for potential members to be considered for membership. Initiated members must also continue to meet the minimum GPA requirements of their chapter in order to remain a member. Above all else, your reason for attending UI is academics.

View each chapter’s average GPAs at uiowafsl.com

Studies show that being in a fraternity or sorority ensures a higher likelihood of graduation compared with students not involved. Fraternity & Sorority membership offers many options to help new members transition academically from high school to college: • Educational programs and workshops

• Tutoring programs

• Chapter/national scholarships

• All-Greek GPA is consistently higher than All-University GPA

• Greek Honor Societies • Study hours and group study sessions

3 friendship Fraternities and sororities build a bond of brotherhood/ sisterhood unmatched by any other student organization. Each chapter has its own social calendar, which typically includes formals, brotherhood/ sisterhood events, and chapter gatherings. Each chapter follows a risk management policy from their headquarters and their UI governing council and they are subject to abide by all of the rules of the University of Iowa.

The spirit of our Fraternity and Sorority Community makes our large campus seem smaller and more like home. Regardless of the chapter you join, the friendships that are formed are lifelong.

4 leadership Fraternity and Sorority Life offers men and women a variety of leadership opportunities. Chapter members can be found on UI Student Government (UISG), Dance Marathon Executive Council, Campus Activities Board (CAB), OnIowa! and Orientation Leaders, on the Homecoming Committee and receiving academic and leadership awards. Members can also participate as an officer in their chapters or on one of the committees each chapter maintains. Iowa has over 500 student organizations and for members to achieve a well-rounded education, fraternities and sororities encourage active participation in a variety of leadership experiences. There are a wide variety of positions available exclusively to Fraternity and Sorority Community members to help them learn, grow, and excel. Opportunities within the community include: • Chapter Executive Boards • Governing Council Executive Board (IFC, MGC, NPHC, PHC) • Community-wide Appointed Positions • LeaderShape Institute scholarships and other conference attendance opportunities • Greek Honor Societies Executive Councils (Order of Omega and Rho Lambda)

UI fraternity & sorority history

28

The story of the University of Iowa Fraternity and Sorority Community started in 1866 when the first fraternity was established on campus. Almost 15 years later, the first women's chapter received their charter at Iowa. From the beginning, both fraternities and sororities recognized the value that brotherhood and sisterhood could bring to the college experience. One hundred forty-eight years later, we are a community of over 3,200 students who are members of one of our 50 fraternities and sororities. This includes 20 Interfraternity Council chapters, 7 National Pan-Hellenic Council chapters, 8 Multicultural Greek Council chapters and 15 Panhellenic Council chapters.

fraternity and sorority life alcohol policy Alcohol at any chapter-sponsored event requires the use of a licensed third party vendor present to serve alcohol, provide security, and verify legal age. All sorority houses at Iowa are strictly alcoholfree. Alcohol consumption within fraternity houses is prohibited by students under 21 years of age. Persons of legal age in a fraternity house may be permitted to bring alcoholic beverages into their private bedrooms only and only those of age are allowed to consume alcohol. Average alcohol-related charges and their associated costs: Fake ID

$485.25 – $2591.25

$1250

Under 21 in a bar after 10pm

$465 – $904

PAULA (possession of alcohol under legal age)

Unlawful use of someone else's ID

$195

Disorderly house

*a surcharge of 35% of the fine plus $60 court costs will be added to the above amounts.

anti-hazing policy Hazing is defined as any intentional or unintentional reckless action or situation — with or without consent — that endangers a student or creates risk of injury, mental or physical discomfort, harassment, embarrassment, and/or ridicule — whether on campus or off campus — for the purpose of initiation into, affiliation with, or as continued membership in an student organization or team recognized by the University of Iowa Student Government or by any other University sponsor. Acts of hazing include, but are not limited to: compulsory alcohol or drug consumption; physical brutality; psychological cruelty; public humiliation; morally degrading activities; forced confinement; creation of excessive fatigue; required removal or destruction of public or private property; or any other activity that endangers the physical, mental, psychological, or academic well being and/or safety of an individual. Any requirement imposed upon prospective, new, or current members which is not related to the organization’s purpose is discouraged and will become the subject of a University investigation once the practice is brought to the attention of the Center for Student Involvement & Leadership.

involvement opportunities P Order of Omega is a national Greek Honor Society for the top 3% of fraternity men and sorority women based on the tenets of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Order of Omega’s purposes are to recognize students who have attained a high standard of leadership within the community, to bring together those members who will help shape the community and the University, and to join faculty, alumni, and students with the intent of helping and understanding one another.

Rho Lambda is the National Sorority Leadership Recognition Society.

Rho Lambda seeks to honor those women within the sorority community who have exhibited the highest qualities of leadership and service to their Greek community and their sorority. They are women who have furthered the ideals and principles of the Greek community throughout their years of sorority affiliation. Rho Lambda is only comprised of the top 10% of campus sorority women.

Leadership Class Each spring semester our Fraternity and Sorority Life Staff teach a 3 credit leadership class for fraternity and sorority students. Discussion topics and assignments are geared specifically toward leaders within the Fraternity and Sorority Community.

The University of Iowa Dance Marathon has been providing emotional and financial support for children with cancer and their families since 1994. To date Dance Marathon has raised over 14.5 million dollars. The Fraternity and Sorority Community plays a vital role in success in Dance Marathon each year. In fact, members of the Fraternity and Sorority Community were the ones who started the organization.

Greek Week is a week-long celebration of everything fraternity/sorority at Iowa! Fraternity and sorority members work together to plan a week of educational programs, friendly competitions and service activities. In spring 2014, chapters participated in the long-standing tradition of the singing and dancing show “Follies”, competed in Greek Olympics, created masterpieces out of canned goods to be donated to the Crisis Center of Iowa City, attended a program of a nationally renowned speaker, raised money through “Penny Wars” for the Circle of Sisterhood, and many more fun events! Fraternal Values Society (FVS) is a national values-based leadership society for fraternity and sorority members. The mission of “The Society” is to illuminate the central values that guided the historical founding of fraternities and sororities, and to incorporate these values into the contemporary fraternity and sorority experience. The society is here to challenge members of fraternities and sororities to make their values known to the entire community.

Fraternal Activities Committee (FAC) is a

programming board that creates exciting, enticing, and free late night and weekend programming for Iowa’s Fraternity and Sorority community. It’s a weekly commitment and a leadership opportunity. It’s your chance to “make plans” with 3,200 of your closest friends.

financial responsibility Financial responsibility is important for all college students. Every member of a fraternity or sorority agrees to be fiscally responsible as a student and as a chapter member. Fees may include local and national membership dues, room and board (if the chapter has a house) and other one-time fees such as initiation or new member fees. The charts below provide you financial information by council. They include the high, low and average costs within that council. For 2013-2014, the average cost of living in a university-owned residence hall per year for a double room and unlimited meals is $8,948.00. While fraternity and sorority structures are recognized student housing, their residential houses are not located on University property and are privately owned. Questions about individual housing facilities should be directed to the chapter’s local House Corporation Board. Further financial information should be provided during recruitment/membership intake.
