fraternity.
It is healthy and smart to have at
least three choices when deciding
which chapters you like. Having only
one choice is the most common
reason why some men participate
in recruitment but do not ultimately
join a fraternity. Having a few choices
ensures that you will have a positive
recruitment experience.

IFC Fall Recruitment: Saturday, Aug. 20, through Wednesday, Aug. 24
Fall Recruitment is the major recruitment period for all IFC
fraternities. Each IFC fraternity at OU looks for individuals who can
contribute to their chapter in a variety of ways. Grades, activities,
talents and interests are all considered individually and together
in the selection of new members. Likewise, fraternities consider
whether their group has something to offer you as a new member.
As you go through recruitment, you will find certain fraternities that
you like. After a few visits, and if the chapter wishes to extend an offer
of membership, you will be offered a chapter bid. This is an invitation
to join the fraternity and should be considered seriously. You may be
offered several chapter bids, so take your time and choose carefully.
FRATERNITY AND SORORITY

STUDENT LIFE
The Greek system at the University of Oklahoma began in 1905
when the first fraternity chapter was established. Many years and
thousands of members later, the Greek community is thriving and
now offers numerous national and local fraternities and sororities.
Fraternity and Sorority Student Life consists of the Interfraternity
Council, Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council
and Panhellenic Association. These four groups are the umbrella
organizations that coordinate and oversee all fraternities and
sororities in Fraternity and Sorority Student Life at OU.
Fraternity and Sorority Student Life, a part of Student Life, is one

of the many opportunities for involvement and growth available for
students at the University of Oklahoma. Greek organizations enhance
“Greek organizations the education of the whole person — intellectually, socially and
enhance the education spiritually. OU chapters strive to achieve the greatest potential from
each member and reach common goals together. In choosing OU
of the whole person — and its Greek community, you are choosing an outstanding school
intellectually, socially and one of the best Greek communities in the nation. Fraternity and
Sorority Student Life offers opportunities for community service,
and spiritually.” academic success, leadership, campus involvement, personal
growth and lifelong friendships.

LEADERSHIP
The IFC community at the University of Oklahoma is made of leaders.
One of the greatest opportunities in college is the development and
application of leadership skills. Developing and preparing student
leaders for life after college is one of the many goals of OU fraternities.
Whether at the chapter level or beyond, a fraternity will teach,
encourage and assist you in the development and refinement of your
leadership skills and the attainment of your goals.
Every member has an active role in leading the chapter. By learning to

work in a group situation, you will learn such valuable skills as setting
goals, delegating responsibilities, planning activities, solving problems
and making decisions. These skills will set you apart in the future and
help you lead a fulfilling and rewarding life.
If you wish to be involved on campus and desire real-life opportunities

to test your leadership skills, there is no better way than becoming
affiliated with a fraternity at the University of Oklahoma. Fraternity and
sorority members are involved in more than 300 registered student
organizations at OU and can be found on many committees that shape
campus life. Fraternity men and sorority women excel in all aspects of
university life. At OU, to be Greek means to lead.

EXCELLENCE
COMMUNITY SERVICE
One of the most gratifying aspects of fraternity life is the sense of satisfaction and pride that comes with
involvement in community service. Fraternity men recognize the need throughout the year to raise money and
donate time for their special philanthropies and community service projects. The ideals of most fraternities are
exemplified through their service efforts.
Fraternity members donate thousands of hours and dollars to local and national philanthropic organizations
each year. Fundraising events and service projects help fraternity members learn about their responsibility to
the community. In taking advantage of these opportunities, fraternity members will learn the joy that comes
from giving of oneself to help others.

BROTHERHOOD
Joining a fraternity is the beginning of a new experience with new friends
and a new home away from home. One of the most enjoyable parts of
joining a fraternity involves making new friends and forming bonds that
will last long after college. You will not only learn to live with others, but
through sharing the same experiences, environment and interests, you
will develop a very special closeness to those around you. Brotherhood
means more than wearing Greek letters, attending meetings and going
to parties; it is about developing friendships and a sense of camaraderie
that you will carry throughout the rest of your life.
SOCIAL LIFE
Fraternities were founded as social
organizations. The ability to function
comfortably in a social environment will prove
almost as important as the ability to do so in
a work environment. Becoming a member of
a group with common interests provides the
opportunity to forge friendships that will last
a lifetime.
Each year, fraternities participate in a

wide variety of social events, including
homecoming, after-game parties, date
parties, theme parties and special spring
formals.
“Hundreds of IFC
members attend
multicultural events
to expand their
knowledge of other
cultures.”
12
EXCELLENCE
INTRAMURALS
The intramural program is perhaps one of the most visible and
enjoyable aspects of fraternity life at OU. Even though the intramural
program is open to all students, fraternity and sorority participation
and competition is always the strongest on campus. The fraternities
compete against each other in friendly but intense rivalries. Intramural
events are usually well-attended by the Fraternity and Sorority Student
Life community, and many fraternities develop loyal fans. Enthusiasm
and excitement dominate intramural events when Greeks participate!
Each sporting event is an opportunity to gain points toward the coveted
All Sports Trophy.

FRATERNITY LIVING
Housing
Chapter houses are university-approved housing for upperclassmen*, but
are privately owned and maintained by local or national fraternity alumni
house corporations. Upperclassmen may have an obligation to live in the
fraternity house; however, each fraternity establishes its own regulations
regarding members living in or out of the chapter house. Potential members
should ask each fraternity about individual requirements for living in or
out of the chapter house. Each fraternity employs a full-time, live-in house
director, sometimes referred to as a “house mother.” The house director
oversees the daily operations of the chapter house. Each house is inspected
annually by the City of Norman Revitalization Division, Norman Fire
Department, University of Oklahoma Fire Marshal and Cleveland County
Health Department to ensure they meet all health and safety standards.
The possession and/or consumption of alcohol on fraternity property is
prohibited. Study halls, dining facilities and workout facilities are a few of the
features you might find in fraternity houses.
Alumni and House Corporations

The structure and organization of chapter alumni varies with each
chapter. A single chapter may have its alumni organized into an
“association” that meets at the chapter house at such times as
Homecoming and Commencement. Other alumni associations meet
more regularly and advise the chapter officers in the day-to-day
operations of the chapter. Another type of “association” is the house
corporation — a legal entity that owns and manages the property of
“Study halls, dining the chapter. These associations make the mortgage payments, pay the
insurance, oversee maintenance and repairs and pay the employees.
facilities and workout
facilities are a few of the
features you might find
in fraternity houses.”
*OU Regents’ Housing Policy

All single freshman students who are not 20 years of age, who do not have at least 24 hours of
college credit from an accredited institution (advance placement or CLEP hours do not apply to
this 24-hour requirement), or who have not lived in the university residence halls for at least two
semesters must live in a university residence hall for the first two semesters. Exception from
this policy is by special permission only granted in writing by the university vice president for
Student Affairs and dean of students or his/her delegate(s). Special permissions are granted
for a period of one semester only and are subject to review prior to renewal.

EXCELLENCE
FINANCES
Financial requirements are an important consideration for men participating in fraternity recruitment. If you accept an
invitation to become a pledge or an associate, you will enter into a financial agreement and contract for housing and dues
during your college years.
Dues and fees vary for each chapter and from year to year. It is important to note that fraternity costs may be more expensive

throughout the year such as shirts, party favors and pictures. If you have any questions about finances, please do not hesitate to
ask fraternity members or contact the Fraternity and Sorority Student Life Office at (405) 325-4029.
It is also important to note that chapters may or may not assess additional fees during the year to cover costs for special
events or projects. This may be an important topic for you to consider when visiting chapters during recruitment.

NEW MEMBER EDUCATION
Prior to being initiated into your fraternity, you will go through the new
member (sometimes called pledge or associate member) education
process, in which you will learn about the most important aspects of your
chapter. New member education lasts between six and 12 weeks, with 12
weeks being the maximum allowed by the North American Interfraternity
Conference (the national governing body of fraternities). During these
weeks, you will be exposed to your chapter’s history, founding values
and traditions, and will have opportunities to connect more with current
members and your new member class.
Hazing is prohibited prior to, during, and after the new member process.
Please refer to the IFC Statement on Hazing found on page five of this
manual for more information.
During the recruitment week, you are encouraged to ask chapters you
are considering what their new member program entails and even ask to
see a copy of it. If there is something you would feel uncomfortable doing,
remember that as you continue to make your selections.
As an initiative to encourage outstanding new member education, the

office of Fraternity and Sorority Student Life introduced a Premiere
Program status for IFC fraternities that meet standards of excellence
for their new member program. Included in these standards of excellence
are requirements on fraternity education, a detailed calendar of events
and service components. To be eligible for Premiere Program status,
the chapter new member educator is required to submit a full copy of
their new member education program and meet with a Student Life staff
member to review the chapter’s program.
Two chapters qualified

for Premiere Program
status this year:
BETA THETA PI and
SIGMA PHI EPSILON.
