A MESSAGE FROM JON AXELSSON IFC VICE PRESIDENT FOR RECRUITMENT

Dear Future Fraternity Member,

Congratulations on taking your first step towards becoming a true Penn Stater. Your time spent at Penn State will work to shape and define the man you will become for the rest of your life. You have an opportunity to decide which aspects of student life you experi- ence to the fullest, and which you miss out on completely.

Joining a fraternity is a decision that will provide you with opportunities you simply can- not find elsewhere. Fraternities at Penn State participate in every aspect of student life and provide additional opportunities that are not available to those who don’t partici- pate. Every year, fraternity men participate in community service, philanthropy, intra- mural sports, Dance Marathon, and more. Beyond that, they learn to manage functional households, often with operating budgets of more than $150,000, balance a social life with a professional life, network with successful alumni across the nation, and gain invaluable leadership experience in the process.

Fraternity life has played a vital role in shaping Penn State’s history. As seen below, many of Penn State’s historic leaders, and leaders of our nation, were members of fraternities. For example, legendary football coach Joe Paterno joined a fraternity at Brown, and some of Penn State’s greatest presidents are in fraternities -- George Atherton, Milton Eisenhower, Edwin Sparks, and James Beaver. This distinction may come as a shock to you, but the truth may be much more surprising: most of America’s greatest leaders are members of a fraternity, including all but three presidents since 1825, and 80% of For- tune 500 executives were members of a fraternity. Fraternities have been able to hone young men’s leadership abilities for generations, producing gentlemen fit to combat the challenges set forth of them unlike any institutions before, besides the military, have been able to do.

Fraternities set themselves apart because they were founded on dedication to values that transcend social trends. In fact, fraternities and sororities make up the largest con- tingency of values-based student organizations in the nation. Values like honor, excel- lence, and brotherhood truly withstand the test of time. Our commitment to our own values is what makes fraternity life is an invaluable investment, one that is guaranteed to provide dividends like no other form of student involvement at this institution.

This short letter can only give you a brief insight into fraternity life, as one must experi- ence the real intricacies for himself. I can only hope to encourage and inspire you to find out. Joining a fraternity can be the most rewarding experience in a young man’s life and create some of his fondest memories. I hope that you are able to find these for yourself.

Best of Luck, Jon Axelsson IFC Vice President for Recruitment

7 WHY JOIN A FRATERNITY?

Why should I join a fraternity? Joining a fraternity at Penn State will be one of the best decisions you ever make. Sororities and fraternities have a rich history at Penn State dating back to the 1870s. These organizations are rooted in founding principles that foster academic achievement, student involvement, community service, and life-long friendships. Fraternities are groups of men who come together to form a per- sonal network of individuals with similar ideas, interests, and a mutual pursuit of a well-rounded college education. Advantages include: • A support group to help make the adjustment to college easier • Scholastic resources to help students achieve their academic goals • Leadership skills acquired through hands-on experience • Encouragement to get involved and maximize their potential on campus • Opportunities for active participation in community service projects The real question is: why wouldn’t you join a Penn State fraternity?

How can being in a fraternity help me succeed academically? Fraternities serve as great academic resources through study hours and tutor- ing programs. Most chapters require a high grade point average for initial membership into the organization. All chapters at Penn State are required to hold a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5; however, many of our chapters pride themselves on their outstanding academic achievements be- cause they hold grade point averages much higher than the minimum require- ment. The fraternity and sorority cumulative GPA regularly exceeds that of the Penn State’s general undergraduate population.

Do fraternity men participate in community service? One of the most gratifying aspects of fraternity membership is the sense of satisfaction and pride that comes with involvement in community service and philanthropic projects. Penn State fraternities and sororities perform almost 100,000 hours of community service each year. Service and philanthropy are two of the fundamental building blocks of each fraternity, building both moral character and social awareness. Working together on such projects not only benefits worthy causes, but also fosters personal growth and greater unity among fraternity members.

Does is cost a lot to be a member of a fraternity? The perception that fraternities are only an option for “rich” students is widespread and false. Fraternities are quite affordable, and fees go toward services and events that will positively impact your college experience. Each chapter is self-supported through dues charged to all members. Also, chapters have payment plans that can be arranged to ease that responsibility.

8 FRATERNITY LIFE @ PSU

Leadership Fraternity men and sorority women play a proactive role in leading Penn State’s campus! Not only does the fraternity and sorority community provide leader- ship opportunities in our governing bodies such as the Interfraternity Council (IFC), comprised of 48 chapters; the Multicultural Greek-Letter Council (MGC), comprised of 11 chapters; the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), com- prised of eight chapters; and the Panhellenic Association, comprised of 22 chapters, fraternity men and sorority women set a positive example in many campus-wide organizations, including: • Council of Commonwealth Student Governments (CCSG) • University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA) • Lion Ambassadors • Liberal Arts Undergraduate Council • Relay for Life • Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON) • Many others

Scholarship Despite all of the activities available to fraternity men and sorority women, the community still manages to excel academically. Each chapter has varying study hours and/or incentive programs to promote academic excellence. Fraternities recognize that academics are a priority and promote and reward members for their scholastic achievements. Furthermore, chapter involvement in honorary organizations is phenomenal, with members participating in Mortar Board, Honor Society, Kappa Honor Society, Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society, Golden Key International Honor Society, and Schreyer Honors College.

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

9 Community Service and Philanthropy Fraternity men and sorority women are committed to being a positive influence in the Happy Valley community by participating in many campus-wide philan- thropies and local projects. Each fraternity has its own national philanthropy project that it supports each year. In addition, each fraternity supports numer- ous community service projects within the State College community which are documented in the chapter’s annual chapter accreditation application that serves as a valuable asset for applications to graduate school, scholarships, awards, and professional organizations. The time devoted and funds raised are a way for fraternity men and sorority women to enjoy an enriching experience at Penn State, while making a positive difference in the lives of others.

PENN STATE OSFL: WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!

The Penn State fraternity and sorority community is one of the largest com- munities in North America and consists of a diverse group of men and women within 89 fraternities and sororities. Social fraternities and sororities at Penn State create smaller communities within the larger university environment and are committed to the basic principles of fraternity and sorority membership: Academic Achievement, Service and Philanthropy, Leadership, Brotherhood & Sisterhood, Social, and Alumni Involvement. Building lifelong friendships through collaborative and meaningful relationships is also a key component to the fraternal experience at Penn State.

The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life supports the active and alumni mem- bers of the Penn State fraternity and sorority community and provides staff, events, and resources to achieve this purpose and help the leadership fulfill their mission.

Dry Recruitment Policy The IFC prohibits alcohol to be present, served, or consumed at any time during the recruitment process. 1. Chapters may not have alcohol present at a recruitment event; 2. Potential New Members may not attend any function where alcohol is present.

Hazing Penn State University Statement Regarding Hazing The university defines hazing as any action or situation that recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student or that willfully destroys or removes public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in, any registered student organization.

Hazing includes, but is not limited to, any brutality of a physical nature, such as whipping, beating, branding, forced calisthenics, exposure to the elements, forced consumption of any food, liquor, drug, or other substance or any other forced physical activity that could adversely affect the physical health and safe- ty of the individual to extreme mental stress, such as sleep deprivation, forced exclusion from social contact, forced conduct that could result in extreme embarrassment, or any other forced activity that could adversely affect the mental health or dignity of the individual, or any willful destruction or removal of public or private property.

Any activities as described in this definition upon which the initiation or admis- sion into or affiliation with or continued membership in a registered student organization is directly or indirectly conditioned shall be presumed to be “forced” activity, the willingness of an individual to participate in such activity notwithstanding. Any registered student organization that commits hazing is subject to disciplinary action by the appropriate registering organization.

Commonwealth of State Law on Hazing [P.S.] § 5352. Definitions

The following words and phrases when used in this act shall have the meanings given to them in this section unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

“HAZING.” Any action or situation which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student or which willfully destroys or removes public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admis-

1111 sion into or affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in, any organization operating under the sanction of or recognized as an organiza- tion by an institution of higher education. The term shall include, but not be limited to, any brutality of a physical nature, such as whipping, beating, brand- ing, forced calisthenics, exposure to the elements, forced consumption of any food, liquor, drug or other substance, or any other forced physical activity which could adversely affect the physical health and safety of the individual, and shall include any activity which would subject the individual to extreme mental stress, such as sleep deprivation, forced exclusion from social contact, forced conduct which could result in extreme embarrassment, or any other forced activity which could adversely affect the mental health or dignity of the individual, or any willful destruction or removal of public or private property. For purposes of this definition, any activity as described in this definition upon which the initiation or admission into or affiliation with or continued member- ship in an organization is directly or indirectly conditioned shall be presumed to be “forced” activity, the willingness of an individual to participate in such activity notwithstanding.

Recruitment Registration The Penn State fraternity community believes strongly in the value of the fraternity experience. We also want the very best students to join our organizations. Students, therefore, must meet the basic criteria listed below in order to be eligible for membership in an fraternity recognized by the Interfraternity Council: 1. You must be enrolled as a full-time student with a minimum of 12 credits on the University Park campus of The Pennsylvania State University. 2. If you have taken coursework on any campus of The Pennsylvania State University, you must hold a cumulative grade point average of 2.5. Exceptions to this policy are not made under any circumstance. 3. If you have never completed any courses on any campus of The Pennsylvania State University, you do not have a Penn State grade point average; therefore, the 2.5 requirement does not apply to you. 4. If you are a transfer student from another college or university that is not affiliated with The Pennsylvania State University, you will not bring a cumulative grade point average to Penn State with you; therefore, the 2.5 requirement does not apply to you. 5. If you enrolled and completed coursework at The Pennsylvania State University during the summer of 2016, you do have a cumulative grade point average; therefore, it must be 2.5 or higher in order to be eligible to participate in recruitment. Again, no exceptions to this policy will be considered or made regardless of the reason. 6. You must register as a Potential New Member using the Interfraternity Council recruitment website at www.psu-ifc-recruit.com.

HOMECOMING

The Homecoming tradition at Penn State was first created by fraternities and sorori- ties many years ago. Today, Homecoming is an exciting and fun-filled week for the entire Penn State community, especially for fraternity men and sorority women.

It is a week of fun, football, alumni, performances, and parades. Fraternities team up with other fraternities, sororities, and other organizations on campus to participate in a number of activities during the week, including a talent show, a Day of Service, a pep rally, and a parade to unite Penn State. For the parade, each pairing makes a float based on a theme that they choose. The floats are designed and built by the fraternity and sorority teams and they take great pride in making them! The week culminates with a football game on Saturday. Homecoming is a celebration of Penn State tradition that fraternities and sororities participate in to the fullest!

GREEKWEEK

Greek Week takes place in April and consists of various activities that promote unity among all Penn State fraternities and sororities. These activities and events emphasize the positive facets of the fraternity and sorority community, while building meaningful relationships between participants and with the greater Penn State and State College communities. Some of the most popular Greek Week traditions include the chariot races, Greek Pageant, Day of Service, Cultural Showcase, and the AIDS Walk.

14 GREEK SING

Greek Sing is an annual event where sororities and fraternities showcase their talents and compete through Broadway musicals, build community among their organizations, and have fun! The primary purpose of Greek Sing is to raise money for the Gayle Beyers Scholarship Fund, named after a woman who demonstrated great dedication and true allegiance for the fraternity and sorority community as a collegian and Panhellenic Association adviser. Each year, scholarships are given to fraternity and sorority members who demonstrate commitment and excellence to the Penn State fraternity and sorority community.

INTRAMURAL SPORTS

The IFC community at Penn State boasts the most competitive IM league for every sport from basketball and football to table tennis and badminton. These leagues are exclusively for members of fraternity organizations.

1515 THON

The Penn State IFC-Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON) was founded by the Penn State fraternity and sorority community over 40 years ago. Today, THON is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world! Money is raised in a yearlong effort for The Four Diamonds Fund at the Hershey Medical Center to conquer pediatric cancer. In February, the fundraising culminates in a 46-hour, no sitting, no sleeping dance marathon. The dancers are selected to participate from their individual organizations. In 2016, THON raised a total of $9,770,332.32! THON 2014 was a record year for fundraising with more than 700 dancers participating and 2016-17 THON bringing in a total of CALENDAR $13.3 million.

THON weekend is a Canning Weekend #1: fun-filled two days with events for kids, dancers, September 23-25, families, supporters, and Penn State students. 2016 THON started in 1973 as a Penn State fraternity and sorority philanthropy. It was first held in the THON 5k: HUB and raised about $2,000. Today, it is held in October 16, 2016 the Bryce Jordan Center and it has grown to Canning Weekend #2: incorporate all student October 28-30, 2016 organizations. However, fraternity men and Family Carnival: sorority women are December 4, 2016 proud that we continue to appear among the top fundraisers of any of the THON Weekend: hundreds of THON organizations. We are proud February 17-19, 2017 of our service to THON and continue to fight to find a cure. FTK! (For The Kids)

16 HOLIDAY LIGHTS

Every year, fraternity houses help make the State College area and Penn State campus a little brighter! The Holiday Lights Tour was created by the Interfraternity Council in 2007 to showcase the 47 fraternity houses located in the Highlands neighborhood in the Bor- ough of State College. The fraternity houses compete for recognition by partici- pating in a holiday decorat- ing theme contest. Trolleys transport patrons through the neighborhood and tour guides provide an historical description of each house. A judging committee deter- mines the winners of the Holiday Lights Tour in various categories of competition.
