  • Fraternities & Sororities
    Guide to Fraternities & Sororities 2011-2012 GreetinGs from Fraternity & sorority Affairs! Welcome to the university of Rochester Fraternity and Sorority community! Whether you are a fraternity/sorority member, a prospective member, a parent, faculty or staff member, student, or a guest of the university, we are happy to welcome and introduce you to the unique, and award-winning, community of fraternities/sororities in the College. The uR fraternity/sorority system is aligned with the educational philosophy of the College. due to the intentional connection to the academic mission of the College, the organizations appreciate the value of being a part of a learning community. We support a framework that assumes fraternities and sororities can and want to be successful and that the College’s role is to expect and to provide support for their success. The system stresses the importance of autonomy of action within a framework of shared systems, goals, and objectives (expectations for excellence). We believe our success-driven model represents a unique and effective model for the university of Rochester. We are proud of the success achieved by both our chapters and individual members. Annually uR chapters and members are recognized with top national awards for their excellence in scholarship, leadership, programming, service, and risk management. Many members of our fraternity/sorority community are also leaders of a variety of organizations on campus including, but not limited to, Student Government, Class Councils, cultural groups, and academic undergraduate councils. We are fortunate to have many faculty and staff, including thed ean of Students, the dean of Freshmen, and the dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, involved as Chapter Advocates who volunteer to assist organizations in planning and implementing their expectations for excellence and related programs.

  • Phd Thesis June 2018
    Cadences of Choreomusicality: Investigating the Relationship Between Sound and Movement in Staged Performances of Popping and Animation in the United Kingdom Jo Read A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) School of Visual and Performing Arts (Dance) De Montfort University September 2017 1 Abstract This practice-led doctoral research explores the relationship between staged performances of popping, closely related movement practices such as animation (in dance) and music in the United Kingdom. Through an experiential, choreographic and critical methodology, I consider the ways that popping artists are able to shift, bend and distort perceptions of their performances through complex uses of musicality. Popping is a dance form that is included under the umbrella of street dance, which encompasses a wide range of dance practices with their origins in social and vernacular contexts. I scrutinise the musical trends and characteristics of popping and animation specifically, despite street dance forms usually being considered as a collective. This extensive focus reveals a range of selective rhythmical and textural nuances that engage the spectator in a world of choreomusical play. Placing practice at the centre of my investigation, I carry out a series of choreographed projects and reflect on these experiences from the position of dancer/performer and choreographer. Additionally, I consider the work of other popping artists in the field, presenting extensive choreomusical analysis of a selection of their work. Drawing from interviews that I conducted with nine UK street dance artists, I use a range of practitioner-led terminology to demonstrate the metaphorical vocabulary that they have employed to articulate their choreomusical practices and complicate notions of musicality.

  • History of Latino Fraternal Movement and Why It Matters on Campus Today Oliver Fajardo, Lambda Theta Phi Fraternity, Inc
    History of Latino Fraternal Movement and Why it Matters on Campus Today Oliver Fajardo, Lambda Theta Phi Fraternity, Inc. Latin@s have been attending colleges and universities in the United States since the late 1700s. The first known international Latin American student to enroll in a U.S. university was Francisco de Miranda when he attended Yale in 1784 (Bevis & Lucas, 2007). Throughout the 1800s, more students from Latin America enrolled in U.S. colleges as compared to Latin@s born in the United States. An example of increased native Latin American enrollment was the University of California – Berkeley that had twelve students from Latin America enrolled in their Fifth Class Program compared to four Latin@s born in California in the 1871-1872 academic school year (Register, 1871). In the late 19th century, a demand in skilled workers for Latin America’s new railroads, waterworks, highways, dams, and canals led to increased enrollment of international students in American colleges (Bevis & Lucas, 2007). These international Latin American students began to congregate and create clubs, societies, and fraternities that brought them together (Fajardo, 2015). The first wave of Latin American fraternities began when international students at Cornell founded Alpha Zeta Fraternity during the 1889-1890 academic year (Alpha Chapter, 1890). Alpha Zeta Fraternity started a movement of organizations that catered to international Latin American students that lasted until the spring of 1975 (Fajardo, 2015). Over a dozen fraternities were founded from California to New York and Kansas to Louisiana. These organizations had several reasons for their existence. Some served as political organizations that wanted to liberate Puerto Rico from the United States, others wanted to unite Latin American countries so that they could stand up to perceived U.S.

  • 1 La Familia: Thoughts on Latinx Interfraternalism Keith D. Garcia
    La Familia: Thoughts on Latinx Interfraternalism Keith D. Garcia | University of Minnesota | @kgarcia_sa It does not take long for research on Latinx fraternal organizations (LFOs) to reveal a level of commonality. Beyond a connection to ethnic identity, many LFOs were founded with the intent of creating unity amongst Latinx people. It’s found in their names, visions, missions and purposes. The following examples, with rough translations, exhibit this concept. Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc.’s motto is “En la unión está la fuerza” (In unity there is strength) while Lambda Sigma Upsilon Latino Fraternity, Inc.’s letters stand for “Latinos Siempre Unidos” (Latinos Always United). You find it in La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Inc.’s motto, “La Unidad Para Siempre” (Unity Forever) and several Latina sororities’ names also espouse this value including Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. (Latina Women United), Lambda Pi Upsilon Sorority, Latinas Poderosas Unidas, Inc. (Empowered Latinas United), and Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. (Latinas Promoting Community). One of the oldest LFOs, Phi Iota Alpha Fraternity, Inc., was founded upon and continues to espouse the virtues of Pan-Americanism, the idea that countries in Latin America should be unified. The concept of unity is enshrined in the mission of the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations (NALFO) which states “NALFO exists to unite and empower its Latino organizations and their communities through advocacy, cultural awareness, and organizational development while fostering positive inter fraternal relationships and collaborating on issues of mutual interest.” While the concept of unity is ever present within the Latinx fraternal community, it has often been narrow in its application.
