The Greek community exists as a proven support system for hundreds of thousands of men and women across the country and around the world. It is our hope that The Florida State University’s Greek community can help personalize your college experience by offering close friendships, scholastic assistance, leadership opportunities, educational programming, social interaction and enrichment, and the chance to help others through philanthropic events and community service projects.

Leadership Greek students play a proactive role in leading Florida State’s campus! Not only does the Greek community provide leadership opportunities such as the Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council and Panhellenic Association, Greek students set a positive example in many campus-wide student organizations, including: • Student Alumni Association • Rho Lambda • CARE Counselors • Seminole Student Boosters • Hispanic Latino/a Student Union • Black Student Union • Garnet and Gold Key • Orientation Leaders • Asian American Student Union • Garnet and Gold Guides • Resident Assistant • Student Foundation • Student Government Association • Student United Way • Garnet and Gold Scholars

All members are encouraged to run for positions to maintain the traditions of leadership and Seminole pride that each chapter proudly upholds. Greek leaders become adept at managing their time as they balance their academic and social schedules, while improving their problem-solving, decision-making, communication, and leadership skills. Scholarship Despite all of the activities available to Greek students, the Greek community still manages to excel academically. Each chapter has varying GPA requirements, study hours, and/or incentive programs to promote academic excellence.

Fraternities and sororities recognize that academics are a priority and promote and reward you for your scholastic achievements. Furthermore, chapter involvement in honorary organizations is phenomenal, with members participating in Mortar Board, Omicron Delta Kappa Honor Society, Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society, Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society, and many more.

Brotherhood/Sisterhood One of the most memorable benefits of joining the Greek community is the long-lasting friendships that develop. Being a member of a Greek organization is not the only way to expand your social circle at FSU; however, it is a consistent and exciting approach to meeting many diverse students. Joining a fraternity or sorority is not about conformity; instead, it teaches students how to develop their individuality and still be able to participate in group dynamics. Memories, internship opportunities and employment opportunities are limitless as students connect with their peers in the Greek community. Life-long connections are formed as a student becomes more involved within their chapter and their council.

The Greek community is an amazing social resource because it means there is always someone you can study with, or go to the gym, catch a concert or movie, enjoy Tallahassee nightlife, or just sit, chat, and relax! In addition to the typical bonding activities, Greek students have found other ways to have fun and meet people. Homecoming, Dance Marathon, and Greek leadership conferences are other ways that Greek organizations are paired up to network.

Community Service & Philanthrophy Greek students are committed to being a positive entity in our Tallahassee community by participating in many campus-wide philanthropies and local projects. Each fraternity and sorority has its own philanthropy that it supports every year. These many service hours not only benefit the community but are documented in transcripts which act as a valuable asset for applications to graduate school, scholarships, awards, and professional organizations.

The time devoted to and the funds raised for various philanthropies are a way for Greek students to enjoy an enriching experience at FSU, while making a positive difference in the lives of others.

4 U tniversi y Policies

Alcohol Policy The Florida State University affirms the guiding ethical principle of responsible freedom. Students, staff, and faculty are expected to show respect for order, ethical conduct, the rights of others, and a high sense of personal honor and integrity. The Florida State University neither encourages, nor condemns the legal consumption of alcoholic beverages. The University recognizes, however, that the majority of undergraduate students are below the legal drinking age and that there are serious health risks and behavior problems associated with the use of alcohol in the collegiate environment. Consequently, alcohol will be permitted at Florida State University only in those settings which: 1. Comply with state laws, municipal county ordinances, and this policy; 2. Present minimum low health and safety risk; and 3. In no way inhibit the full participation of those who choose not to drink alcohol. Any person or group in violation of federal or state laws, local ordinances, or of this policy will be reported to the proper federal, state, local or University authorities for appropriate action.

Hazing Policy The Student Conduct Code defines hazing as “any group or individual action or activity that inflicts or intends to inflict physical or mental harm or discomfort or which may demean, disgrace, or degrade any person, regardless of location, intent, or consent of participant’s)” (see Section 5, (d) of the Student Conduct Code for the definition). All forms of hazing by any university student, student organization, or employee are expressly prohibited. Serious penalties, such as separation from the university or loss of affiliation with Florida State University, may be imposed on individuals or groups found in violation of these rules. To view the FSU hazing policy online visit http://hazing.fsu.edu

Enrollment Policy Fraternities and sororities can only open their membership to Florida State University students who are in good standing with the University. Because our community believes so strongly in the value of the Greek experience, we believe this expectation is critical and necessary to preserve the high quality of students that become involved in the Greek community. Membership in Greek organizations is a privilege that should be reserved for students who are matriculating and contributing to the University community. Fraternities or sororities that have non-University affiliated individuals within their chapters are operating outside of the University’s expectations and subject to review under the Student Conduct Code.

62 Multicultural Greek Council

Fellow Seminoles,

On behalf of all the Executive Board, the chapters, and colonies within the Multicultural Greek Council, we would like to welcome you and wish you much success in your upcoming endeavors at The Florida State University. Entering college has never been easy, but with the right transition, confidence and self-belief, anything can be done. In college so much can be offered and one of the greatest opportunities for students is to become members of the Greek Life community. The

Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) works hand in hand with many different sororities and fraternities on our campus, but most importantly consists of eleven active Greek organizations.

The purpose of the MGC is to unify and organize groups that seek to promote diversity and cohesion on campus and in the community, encourage cooperation and harmony among member organizations and other organizations on campus, become active within our community, provide educational programming and service for member organizations and the student body.

All of the organizations take much pride in promoting diversity and spreading cultural awareness on our campus. One of the most important factors that our council takes much pride in is helping students find that home away from home and their place on campus.

When I first arrived at FSU I had no idea there was a council with multicultural fraternities and sororities. After conducting much research and meeting various members of organizations of the Multicultural Greek Council and other councils, I decided the Multicultural Greek Council was for me. Since then I have learned many valuable lessons that will influence me for the rest of my life.

It is my sincere hope that your experience at FSU is a memorable one. You can learn more about the organizations in the

Multicultural Greek Council on the Greek Life website at www.greeklife.fsu.edu. On behalf of my Executive Board, we wish you good luck and hope you have an amazing and productive year.

In Seminole Spirit, Marco Blanco President Multicultural Greek Council Katharina Reekmans Vice President Multicultural Greek Council

63 National Pan-Hellenic Council

Greetings New Seminoles,

On behalf of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, we welcome you to The Florida State University. The National Pan-Hellenic Council was founded on May 10, 1930 on the campus of Howard University and established at Florida State University on July 20, 1992. Collectively known as the “Divine Nine,” our council consists of the nine predominantly African-American fraternities and sororities. These organizations are committed to scholarship, community service and cultural enrichment.

The purpose of the National Pan-Hellenic Council is to create and maintain high standards in the life of fraternities and sororities and to perpetuate constructive relationships within all of our organizations. Our council also fosters an understanding of the structure and method of operation among its affiliate organizations by addressing coordinating and developing strate- gies on matters of mutual concern to the affiliate organizations.

If an individual is interested in joining an organization in the NPHC, most of the organizations in our council encourage men and women to observe their respective members and to educate themselves on the history and philosophies of each organization. There will be many activities throughout the year that will sponsored by the organizations in the NPHC, thus giving an individual many opportunities to interact with the members of the council. Once a man or woman identifies the organization he/she would like gain membership into, he/she should attend a social or interest meeting sponsored by the organization of interest. This is a formal introduction to the fraternity/sorority where an individual can meet the members and learn more about the organizations history, ideas, and membership requirements.

In the 2011-2012 school year, the National Pan-Hellenic Council is looking forward to a great year filled with exciting events and new faces on the campus of Florida State University. We happily invite you to join us in some of our most highly anticipated events including: Summer Oasis Showcase, The NPHC “Unity Week”, and the “Extravaganza” Step Show. We hope you enjoy your time here at The Florida State University!!!

64 Panhellenic Association

Dear Potential New Members,

On behalf of the Panhellenic Association and the Greek Community, I would like to personally welcome you to The Florida State University!

Being a college student is both a challenging and rewarding experience. During your time on Florida State’s campus you will be presented with ample opportunities to grow as an individual and a leader. One very special opportunity is to become a member of a Greek organization.

When you join a sorority, you also become member of the largest and most diverse women’s organization our campus has to offer, the Panhellenic Association. The Panhellenic Association is the unifying, governing and coordinating body of the 16 NPC member groups at Florida State. Serving as a liaison for sororities, other campus organizations, and administration, the Pan- hellenic Association is dedicated to facilitating the academic, social and philanthropic development of each sorority and their members.

From community service and philanthropic efforts to campus-wide involvement and achievements, Panhellenic women continu- ously make a difference at the University. Year after year, our community continues to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to benefit sorority and fraternity philanthropies and campus-wide events such as the Dance Marathon and Relay for Life.

Panhellenic women not only pride themselves on academics, organizational leadership and philanthropic service, but also on forming lasting friendships and support systems that will live on years beyond graduation. Your involvement in a sorority and the Panhellenic Association will create the path for you to grow as an individual and prepare for life after college.

I look forward to sharing the Panhellenic experience with you

In Panhellenic Pride,

65 Recruitment Staff

Dear Potential New Member, I would like to be the first to welcome you to our outstanding Panhellenic Community here at the Florida State University. The Florida State Greek Community is the largest values-based organization on campus. The benefits of joining a sorority here at FSU extend far beyond the social experience. Sorority membership provides you with endless opportunities for community service, leadership development, academic excellence and lifelong friendships. Coming from a non-Greek family with no legacy preceding me, I was nervous to participate in Recruitment. Looking back over the past three years, I am so grateful for the countless opportunities that Greek Life has provided me. I encourage you to participate in Recruitment with an open mind. Each of our 16 sororities has their own ritual and rich traditions; however, each one offers a meaningful history and lifelong friendships, making it a smaller piece to our larger Panhellenic community. I am so excited you are interested in becoming a part of this Panhellenic sisterhood! Over the past year, our Recruitment Staff, Rho Gammas (Recruitment Counselors) and chapters have been diligently working to improve our Recruitment Process and make it the best it has ever been. Over the spring semester the Head Rho Gammas trained over 70 fun-loving and devoted women to provide you assistance throughout Recruitment week. The Computer Ana- lysts have spent the summer training our members in the program that handles the mutual selection process between you and the chapters. Ashley, the Assistant Vice President of Membership, and I have been working side-by-side with the Chapter Recruitment chairs, Panhellenic Executive Council, Rho Gammas, and Greek Life staff to ensure the best Recruitment week yet! I am glad that you are interested in the rich and rewarding opportunities that Florida State’s Panhellenic community has to offer. The recruitment process at FSU is one in which you seek out a chapter that matches your own values and beliefs! I encourage you to register for 2010 Recruitment and see first-hand what our exceptional Panhellenic community has to offer you.

In Panhellenic and Seminole Pride, Megan T. Vice President of Membership [email protected]
