The Greek system at the University of Oklahoma began in 1905 when the first
fraternity chapter was established. Many years and thousands of
members later, the Greek community is thriving and now offers
numerous national and local fraternities and sororities. Fraternityand Sorority Student Life consists of the Interfraternity Council,
Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council and
Panhellenic Association. These four groups are the umbrella
organizations that coordinate and oversee all national fraternities and
sororities in Fraternity and Sorority Student Life at OU.
Fraternity and Sorority Student Life, a part of Student Life, is one
of the many opportunities for involvement and growth available
for students at the University of Oklahoma. Greek organizations
enhance the education of the whole person intellectually, socially
and spiritually. OU chapters strive to achieve the greatest potentialfrom each member and reach common goals together. In choosing
OU and its Greek community, you are choosing an outstanding school
of the best Greek communities in the nation. Fraternity and Sorority Stu
offers opportunities for community service, academic success, leaders
involvement, personal growth and lifelong friendships.

Monday, Sept. 1 through Friday, Sept. 5
Fall Recruitment is the major recruitment period for all IFC fraternities. Each
FC fraternity at OU looks for individuals who can contribute to their chapterin a variety of ways. Grades, activities, talents and interests are all considered
individually and together in the selection of new members. Likewise,
fraternities consider whether their group has something to offer you as a new
member. As you go through recruitment, you will find certain fraternities that
you like. After a few visits, and if the chapter wishes to extend an offer of
membership, you will be offered a bid. This is a formal invitation to join the
fraternity and should be considered seriously. You may receive several bids,
so take your time and choose carefully. When you decide to join a particular
chapter, you will be asked to sign an IFC Official Bid Acceptance form that pledges you
o that fraternity.

What encouraging words would you have for the prospective fraternity members of fall 2007 or their
parents? Being Greek was the most important decision I made in college, above major, above studentgovernment or any other extracurricular activity. Above all else, being in a fraternity prepared me for
life after college and I would not just urge that every parent encourage their son to join a fraternity; I
would propose they demand it.
What is the most valuable benefit you gained from your fraternity experience at OU? My fraternity
experience was the most valuable time I spent at OU. Being Greek taught me how to build and maintain
relationships. It forced me to go to study hall to concentrate on my grades when I likely would have
been elsewhere doing other things. It provided the sort of well-rounded education that is typically only
received at a small school. The Greek system transformed the large university of the OU environment int
a socially manageable microcosm in which I could interact, learn and even lead.

make an individual decision about which fraternities
to focus on during recruitment. Go to the IFC BBQ

6. Ask questions Make sure all of your questions are

academics?
What types of scholarship programs are offered by
your chapter?
What kind of social activities do you have each year?

organizations, intramural sports and service to the
community? What kind of time commitment does joining your

How has joining a fraternity benefitted you during your freshmen year?
Academically I was challenged to do my best and was offered help when I needed it.
y fraternity also encouraged me to get involved on campus and helped me to achieve
is. There were multiple older members who wanted to do whatever they could to direct
toward quality leadership experiences.
should incoming students join a fraternity?
en you are selected by a fraternity to join, it is because they want to have you be a part obrotherhood. They want to do whatever they can to help you succeed and are always
ing out for your best interests. The genuine support from these members will be a grea
t to your time here at the University of Oklahoma, and to the rest of your life.
t encouraging words/advice would you offer to the prospective fraternity members of
008?
t believe all the stereotypes you hear about Greek life. Going Greek is about the great
rtunities to serve the university, the great opportunities to get involved, and most
rtantly the lifelong friendships that are made being a part of a brotherhood.

The IFC community at the University of Oklahoma is made of leaders. One of the greatest
opportunities in college is to develop and apply leadership skills. Developing and
preparing student leaders for life after college
is one of the many goals of OUfraternities. Whether at the chapter
level or beyond, a fraternity will
teach, encourage and assist you
in the development and refinement
of your leadership skills and the
ttainment of your goals.
very member has an active role in
leading the chapter. By learning to
work in a group situation, you will learn
such valuable skills as setting goals,delegating responsibilities, planning
activities, solving problems and making
decisions. These skills will set you apart in
the future and help you lead a fulfilling and
rewarding life.
If you wish to be involved on campus and
desire real-life opportunities to test your
leadership skills, there is no better way
than becoming affiliated with a fraternity
at the University of Oklahoma. Fraternity
and sorority members are involved
in nearly all of the more than 300
registered student organizations at OU
and can be found on many committees
that shape campus life. Fraternity men
and sorority women excel in all aspects
of university life. At OU, to be Greek means to lead.

One of the most gratifying aspects of fraternity life
is the sense of satisfaction and pride that comes
with involvement in community service. Fraternity
men recognize the need throughout the year to
raise money and donate time for their special
philanthropies and community service projects.
The ideals of most fraternities are exemplified
through their service efforts.
Fraternity members donate thousands of hours
nd dollars to local and national philanthropic
organizations each year. Fund-raising events and
service projects help us learn about our responsibility
to the community. In taking advantage of these
opportunities, you will learn the joy that comesfrom giving of yourself to help others.
Some of these philanthropies include:
J. D. McCarty Center
March of Dimes
United Way
Childrens Medical Research
Big Brothers/Big Sisters

Joining a fraternity is the beginning of a newexperience with new friends and a new homeaway from home. One of the most enjoyable
parts of joining a fraternity involves making newfriends and forming bonds that will last longafter college. You will not only learn to livewith others, but through sharing the sameexperiences, environment and interests, youwill develop a very special closeness to thosearound you. Brotherhood means more
than wearing Greek letters, attendingmeetings and going to parties; it is
about developing friendships anda sense of camaraderie that you will carrythroughout the rest of your life.

What is the most valuable
benefit you have gained from your fraternity experience?
By providing countless avenues for involvement in numerous sch
and community activities, the Greek system allowed me to develo
into a well-rounded and experienced leader at the University of
Oklahoma.
Why should incoming students join a fraternity?
he lifelong relationships formed in the Greek system will act as a
springboard for success after freshman year In addition, the Greek
stem also encourages incoming students to engage the university
munity through philanthropic endeavors, fun activities and intellec
uits.
ncouraging words/advice would you offer to the prospective frate
rs of fall 2008?

Fraternities were founded as
social organizations. The ability
to function comfortably in a social
environment will prove almost asimportant as the ability to do so in
work environment. Becoming a
member of a group with common
interests provides the opportunity
to forge friendships that will last a
lifetime.
Each year, fraternities participate
in a wide variety of social events,
including homecoming, after-game parties, date
parties, theme parties and special spring formals.

The intramural program is perhaps one of the most visible and enjoyable aspects
of fraternity life at OU. Even though the
intramural program is open to all students,
fraternity and sorority participation andcompetition is always the strongest on
campus. The fraternities compete against
each other in friendly but intense rivalries.
Intramural events are usually well attended
by the Fraternity and Sorority Student Life
community and many fraternities develop
followings of loyal fans. Enthusiasm and
excitement dominate intramural events when
Greeks participate! Each sporting event is an
opportunity to gain points toward the coveted
All Sports Trophy.

Financial requirements are an important consideration for men participating in fraternity recruitment. If you accept an invitation to
become a pledge or an associate, you will enter into a financial agreement and contract for housing and dues during your college years.
Dues and fees vary for each chapter and from year to year. It is important to note that fraternity costs may be more expensive the
first year due to additional pledge and initiation fees. It also is important to
be aware that some additional costs may arise throughout the year, such
s T-shirts, party favors and pictures. If you
have any questions about finances, please do
not hesitate to ask fraternity members,
or contact the Fraternity and Sorority
Student Life Office at (405) 325-4029.
It is important also to note that
chapters may or may not assess
dditional fees during the year to cover
costs for special events or projects.
This may be an important topic foryou to consider when visiting chapters
during recruitment.
The following are some of the financial responsibilities that accompany fraternity affiliation:
1. To pay certain fixed charges for room, board and dues according to each fraternitys
schedule.
2. To pay the pledging and initiation fees. These fees are paid only once.
3. To pay for additional services such as social, intramural and recruitment-related
activities.
4. To pay for optional services such as party pictures and guest meals.
5. To live in the chapter house during the sophomore, junior and
senior years if required by the fraternity.
6. To pay for meals whether they are eaten or not.
7. To pay out-of-house fees if not living in the fraternity house.
8. To discuss fully with parents or guardians the financial
situation and arrive at a mutual understanding of financial
requirements before pledging.
9. To ask the fraternity about financial information and know what
your obligations will be.

Housing
Chapter houses are university-approved housing
for upperclassmen*, but are privately ownedand maintained by local or national fraternity
alumni house corporations. Upper-class
men may have an obligation to live in
the fraternity house; however, each
fraternity establishes its own regulations
regarding members living in or out of
the chapter house. Potential members
should ask each fraternity about individual
requirements for living in or out of the
chapter house. Each fraternity employs a full-time,
live-in house director, also referred to as a house mother.The house director oversees the daily operations of the
chapter house. Each house is inspected annually by the City
of Norman Revitalization Division, Norman Fire Department,
University of Oklahoma Fire Marshal and Cleveland County
Health Department to ensure they meet all health and safety
standards. The possession and/or consumption of alcohol
on fraternity property is prohibited. Study halls, dining
facilities and workout facilities are a few of the features you
will find in each fraternity house.
*OU Regents HOUSING POLICY FOR FRESHMEN
All single freshman students who are not 20 years of age, who do not have at least 24 hours of
college credit from an accredited institution (advance placement or CLEP hours do not apply to
this 24-hour requirement), or who have not lived in the University residence halls for at least two
semesters must live in a University residence hall for the two semesters. Exception from this
policy is by special permission only, granted in writing by the university vice president
for Student Affairs and dean of students
or his/her delegate(s). Special
permissions are granted for a period
of one semester only and are subjectto review prior to renewal.

Alumni and House Corporations
The structure and organization of chapter alumni varies with each chapter. A single
chapter may have its alumni organized into an association that meets at the chapterhouse at such times as Homecoming and Commencement. Other alumni associations
meet more regularly and advise the chapter officers in the day-to-day operations of
the chapter. Another type of association is the house corporation a legal entity
that owns and manages the property of the chapter. These associations make the
mortgage payments, pay the insurance, oversee maintenance and repairs, and pay the
employees.

What part did your fraternity experience play in the success you have achieved after college?
I learned a great deal about leadership in the fraternity. At the time I was in the house, we
governed ourselves with little alumni involvement. I watched my upper classmen run an
unbelievably good operation when I was a young member, and I was able to participate in that
leadership during my later college years. I learned about consensus building, delegation of
authority and being disciplined in all my affairs while in these positions .
What encouraging words would you have for the prospective fraternity members of fall 2008
or their parents?
While a fraternity shouldnt be the only social outlet of a young man entering OU, it can be a
great part of college life. Many life-changing experiences that occur in college can be attributed
to being part of a fraternity, and those experiences can be beneficial later in life.
