Fraternities Sororities

2016-2017

WELCOME TO BEAVER NATION!

Joining a fraternity or sorority can be one of the best ways to find your “home away from home” at Oregon State and make a large campus feel much smaller. There are 48 chapters on campus that are a member of one of five communities: the Interfraternity Council (IFC), the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), the Panhellenic Council (PHC), and the Unified Greek Council (UGC), or our Independent Organizations. We believe there is a place for everyone in our diverse community of over 3,000 students.

Fraternities and sororities have a rich history at OSU and have been on campus for over 100 years. The first national organization, Alpha Chi Omega, was established on campus in 1915. Our community shares several core principles: Friendship, Scholarship, Leadership, Inclusivity, Philanthropy and Service. The community shared vision statement is: United by a common bond, we are a diverse community dedicated to scholarship, leadership and service. Our members live these values each day and strive towards this vision in the events and programs they plan and in the membership experiences our chapters offer. Membership in a fraternity or sorority not only allows you to get more involved at OSU, but also within the local Corvallis community. Studies show that students who are engaged with student organizations, like fraternities and sororities, are more successful academically and are more likely to graduate.

College is a time to build memories and gain friends that will last a lifetime. We know that college is full of choices, and we are glad you’ve made the choice to get to know our chapters. We urge you to get to know our organizations for yourself and make the best decision for you about which group to join.

Please take time to browse through this book and acquaint yourself with all that fraternity and sorority life has to offer. If you’re still not sure if ‘going Greek’ is right for you, we encourage you to learn more about these organizations by checking out the fall recruitment/membership intake processes.

Once again, welcome to Oregon State University. We offer you our best wishes for every success during your time here. And get used to saying it – “Go Beavs!”

3 Sororities & fraternities at OSU share six core community values:

Scholarship: Fraternities and sororities at Oregon State University strive for academic excellence. Each chapter has specific grade requirements for students to achieve and maintain active membership and provides their members with resources to promote academic success. Fraternity and sorority membership offers many options to help new members transition academically from high school to college, including educational programs and workshops, study hours, tutoring programs, and more. As a result, the All-Greek GPA is consistently at or above the All-Undergraduate average.

Leadership: Developing leadership skills in all members is a fundamental goal of every organization. Fraternities and sororities offer a variety of leadership positions within their chapters and opportunities also exist in the Fraternity/Sorority Community at large. Members are also leaders on campus, currently holding leadership positions in over 260 student organizations at OSU.

Inclusivity: United by a common bond, the OSU Greek community is a diverse community that strives for inclusivity of all people regardless of race, culture, identity, gender, or sexual orientation. We hope to promote a welcoming environment for all students on campus where all members and guests feel supported and accepted.

4 Philanthropy: Fraternities and sororities sponsor a variety of philanthropic fundraisers that raise over $250,000 annually to support local and national nonprofit organizations. These fundraisers include athletic tournaments, haunted houses, lip sync competitions, and more.

Community Service: In conjunction with philanthropy, each fraternity and sorority participates in numerous community service events each year to engage with the Corvallis and surrounding communities. Last year, OSU’s Fraternity and Sorority Community logged more than 40,000 hours of community service. Commitment to civic engagement encourages growth as servant leaders and allows members to help others in the world around us.

Friendship: With a large student body at OSU, it is easy for new students to be overwhelmed with life on campus. Fraternity and sorority membership eases the transition and enriches the college experience by encouraging the development of sincere relationships within a tight-knit community of over 3,000 students. The lifelong bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood made in fraternities and sororities are unmatched by any other student organization.
