Why Accept Our Invitation?
WHY ACCEPT OUR INVITATION? Congratulations! If you have been invited to accept membership in a collegiate honor society, it means that you have been recognized for your accomplishments and character. But did you know that the meaning of the invitation depends on the purpose and stature of the society? !e purpose of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, and Omicron Delta Kappa as honor societies is to celebrate excellence in academics and integrity of character. Our societies exist because those who founded them believed, as we believe still, that there are achievements worthy of celebration: academic work of extraordinary quality, exemplary leadership, and research that advances human knowledge. Our invitations recognize distinguished performance in study, research, or leadership, sustained over a period of years. So our invitations are typically extended late in the undergraduate career or even a"er graduation, marking the transition from accomplished work of high merit to further exceptional attainment. Honori#cs vary in value, so it is important to #nd out which ones matter the most. Our societies do not aim to supply a mere credential: belonging to our societies means more than simply a certi#cation of your grade point average or your resume. In the wider world, membership in one of our organizations is understood as an honor that is neither cheaply won nor widely bestowed. And we o$er opportunities to continue to learn and grow in the company of other members of our societies across the country and across generations. Ask your advisors, mentors, or faculty members about us. We are con#dent they will tell you what we stand for.

Greek Tiger2018 A GUIDE TO LSU FRATERNITIES & SORORITIES Greek Tiger DEAR NEW LSU STUDENTS, Congratulations on your decision to attend Louisiana State University! As you prepare to begin a new chapter in your life, we encourage you to consider participating in fraternity or sorority recruitment. Our Greek community continues to experience growth and is considered a strong and vibrant component of the larger LSU community. The LSU Greek community is proud of its history and is equally excited about the future. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all Greek students, the University holds many expectations for all Greek students and Greek organizations. LSU expects all students to follow: all University policies and procedures, all state and local laws, and all policies of the inter/national organizations. Each semester, Greek students are provided with training and information on specific policies to include alcohol, hazing, drugs, and sexual misconduct. Likewise, LSU has a no hazing policy and holds individuals and organizations accountable for their actions. Our fraternities and sororities are looking for men and women who will contribute to their organization, the LSU campus, and the greater community. It is a balance of scholarship, service, social, and sisterhood/brotherhood. As Greek life prepares young adults for life, membership is an investment in your future. If you choose to participate in recruitment, you will learn more about the leadership and service opportunities within the organizations and around campus, as well as opportunities within the inter/national organizations. Many of the leadership positions on campus are held by Greeks. Fraternity and sorority members at LSU donate approximately $900,000 to charitable organizations each year and participate in more than 43,000 hours of community service.
