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.
