WELCOME

Greetings from the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement! There are few sorority and fraternity communities across the country that are as unique, dynamic, and robust as the community at Iowa State University. Sororities and fraternities members at Iowa State consistently receive recognition at every level you could imagine: personal, chapter, regional, national, and international! For years, our community has been known as one of the best of the best. There is an incredible opportunity ahead of you if you would like.

As you think about what organization you should join, take some time to reflect on your own life. You should choose a sorority or fraternity that has similar values, ideals, principles, interests, and goals to your own. These are people you feel comfortable around. You are making a commitment for a lifetime and this is a serious decision. You need to choose a group of people you would be proud to call your sisters or brothers.

There are many great characteristics of our sororities and fraternities at Iowa State. Take the opportunity to visit with multiple chapters, look at organizations from multiple points of view, and do not feel rushed to make a decision. This commitment is just as much your decision as it is the organization’s decision. Consistently, the all-community grade point average exceeds the all-undergraduate average. Our first-year retention rates and graduation rates are higher than the university averages. Sororities and fraternities at Iowa State are here to support your academic endeavors. Fraternities and sororities collectively complete more than 70,000 hours of community service and raise over three quarters of a million dollars annually for charitable causes. There are countless leadership opportunities available to members of our community.

The Collegiate Panhellenic Council plays an integral part in the development of women on our campus. The first organization affiliated with the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) was founded at Iowa State in 1877. Since then, the council has grown to fifteen NPC organizations and two affiliate member. Alpha Sigma Kappa is a sorority for women in technical studies and Phi Beta Chi is a historically Lutheran sorority and both chapter contribute to the vibrant Panhellenic community at Iowa State, alongside our NPC organizations.

Women’s based fraternal organizations create an opportunity for women’s empowerment within our community, university, and nation. Students in these organizations develop lifelong bonds of friendship and create a sense of belonging among members. Our sororities at Iowa State are thriving. Consistently, the all-Panhellenic grade point average exceed the all-undergraduate grade point average. Our first-year retention rates and graduation rates also boast higher numbers than the university averages. Sororities and fraternities collectively complete more than 70,000 hours of community service and raise over three quarters of a million dollars annually for charitable causes. There are countless leadership opportunities available to members of our community. And, yes, there are social events as well.

The first step is the hardest and by taking the time to learn about our sororities, you have already done the hardest part. I will challenge you to ask the tough questions. Our sororities should be able to tell you about their history and their values. You should ask how they are living up to those values today. A sorority women that is confident in her own experience will generate opportunities for other women to develop confidence as well.

Joining a sorority is a huge commitment. Have fun with this process as you consider making an incredibly important lifelong commitment.

Sororities and fraternities at Iowa State have a plethora of success stories but central to all of our organizations is the commitment to friendship.

With Cyclone Spirit,

Billy Boulden Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement

Fifteen of these organizations have a chapter house located south of the Iowa State University campus. The Collegiate Panhellenic Council has an executive board elected by their peers. The council acts as the central governing body for these sororities with support from the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement.

The Collegiate Panhellenic Council is actively involved with chapter development, programs, and leadership opportunities for chapters and their members. The council coordinates campus and community resources, facilitates service projects, organizes Primary Recruitment and represents the Iowa State University Panhellenic community at regional and national meetings.

Creed of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) We, as undergraduate members of women’s fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our college community. Cooperation for furthering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities. We, as fraternity women, stand for service through the development of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live.

IN THE NPC INSIGNIA (I.E., THE COAT OF ARMS): •

The shield is a protective influence for our entire membership.

•

A lamp denotes leadership, scholarship and enlightenment.

•

The laurel wreath signifies victory, or achievement of ideals.

•

While the sword piercing the wreath indicates willingness to fight for ideals, it symbolizes, too, penalty of obligation, also bravery, achievement and discipline.

•

The mantling surrounding the shield is the protecting cloak that education gives us and is the protective influence of organization. Thus there in the mantle is inscribed the name of the National Panhellenic Conference.

How to Join Many women join one of the Collegiate Panhellenic Council chapters through Primary Recruitment that occurs each fall before classes begin. It is encouraged to go through this recruitment process as it is the only guaranteed opportunity to see all chapters at the same time to find the best fit for prospective members. The Collegiate Panhellenic community takes pride in academic achievement. Many chapters look for women with a 3.0 cumulative GPA from high school or a 2.5 GPA from college to join

Women will move into their assigned residence hall room a week before classes begin and join 15-20 other women who also live in residence halls or off-campus housing. An assigned Recruitment Counselor (often called a Rho Gamma) will serve as their guide through the week. Women will visit all chapters during Welcome Weekend and throughout the week. At the end of each day, women will select which chapters they would like to visit the next day. At the end of the week, women will attend events based on this mutual selection process during Preference Night. Bid Day is the following day when women are offered invitations to join one of these organizations. Many women who join one of our Collegiate Panhellenic Council organizations join through the Primary Recruitment process. Some women participate in Continuous Open Bidding (COB) after the Primary Recruitment period, however it is not guaranteed that COB is available for all chapters. Alpha Sigma Kappa, a sorority for women in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), and Phi Beta Chi, a Lutheran-based sorority, are affiliate groups to the Collegiate Panhellenic Council and conduct continuous recruitment processes throughout the year. Please contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Engagement for more information for more information about which chapters are participating in Continuous Open Bidding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: I’M WORRIED ABOUT MANAGING MY TIME BEING A MEMBER OF A SORORITY OR FRATERNITY. HOW MUCH TIME DOES CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP TAKE? Similar to other clubs and organizations, the more time you dedicate to membership, the more opportunities and adventures you will experience.

The time commitment varies from chapter to chapter. The first semester is generally a weekly meeting when members go through the chapter’s member education program. The majority of the chapter new member programs are six to eight weeks; these programs allow the member an opportunity to develop their leadership and time management skills, learn about the history of the organization, develop friendships and become more involved. Each chapter has a weekly chapter meeting and other required events, including initiation, recruitment and philanthropic activities throughout the year.

Q: WHY ARE THERE SOME THINGS SORORITY AND FRATERNITY MEMBERS CAN’T TALK ABOUT? WHAT’S THE BIG SECRET?

Sorority and fraternities pride themselves on the rituals that their chapters were founded upon. These rituals are full of the traditions and values that make the chapters unique, having been conducted for many years. These rituals are full of the traditions and values that make chapter unique and have been conducted for many years.

Q: WHAT WILL I GET FROM A SORORITY OR FRATERNITY THAT I WOULD NOT GET FROM ANY OTHER COLLEGE ORGANIZATION? Coming to college is one of the major life changes that you will go through.

Questions centered around staple programs, time commitment, and finances are always important to ask.

This will help you financially plan and ensure you are prepared for any additional time the sorority or fraternity requires of you.

Q: AS A FAMILY MEMBER, HOW CAN I SUPPORT MY STUDENT? It is important for family members to continue to be a support system for their student. One of the key components for the support is empowering students as they navigate the sorority and fraternity experience.

It is important that you discuss financial obligations and the time commitment before your student enters a recruitment or intake process with a fraternity or sorority. This will be an exciting time of new experiences in your student’s life and your support will be invaluable.

Tips for supporting your student during the recruitment/intake process: •

Allow your student to make their own decision

•

Learn as much as you can about sorority and fraternity life and the membership experience

•

Keep an open mind

•

Talk to your student about the financial obligations and membership requirements

•

Financial Commitment FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS. Every member of a fraternity or sorority agrees to be fiscally responsible as a student and a chapter member. Each chapter conducts their own billing and financial processes through online or payment plans. The chapter bills separately from the university bill. Membership fees include local and inter/national (if applicable) membership dues, one-time fees (such as initiation or new member fees) and room and board, if the chapter has a house. The Chapter Spotlight section of this guide highlights the financial committment required from each Panhellenic sorority chapter at Iowa State. It outlines the cost of membership for your first semster and your continued membership whether you choose to live in-house or out-ofhouse. Oftentimes financial aid packages can be applied to fraternity and sorority costs. As each student has an individualized award package, please check with the Office of Student Financial Aid for more information.

There are many scholarships awarded to sorority and fraternity members through their local chapter, inter/national organization and through Iowa State University.

Members are encouraged to seek out scholarships through these resources or contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at www.financialaid.iastate.edu.

SCHEDULE & FINANCIAL

Rho Gamma Information Recruitment Counselors (also known as Rho Gammas) hold a leadership position within the Collegiate Panhellenic Council to positively promote sorority life to potential new members before, during and after the primary recruitment period.

Recruitment counselors work together to speak about all of the wonderful benefits of sorority membership to women interested in joining a sorority. They strive to increase interest and participation during recruitment. Recruitment counselors are sorority women, but remain impartial, meaning they are not focused on and are not directly affiliated with their specific chapters for a time frame that is identified within the Collegiate Panhellenic Council.

Here are some topics that recruitment counselors discuss with potential new members: • ACADEMIC SUPPORT AND ACHIEVEMENT • RESPONSIBILITIES WITHIN THE FRATERNITY/SORORITY COMMUNITY AND CHAPTER ORGANIZATION • PHILANTHROPIC AND COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTIVITIES • LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES • LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS • VALUE OF MEMBERSHIP BEYOND COLLEGE YEARS

As a potential new member, you should get to know your recruitment counselor and feel comfortable going to her with any questions you may have about recruitment or sorority life. During recruitment, the recruitment counselor is your best friend!

Anti-Hazing POLICY Iowa State University has a zero-tolerance policy regarding hazing. The Greek community shares the university’s definition of hazing in the Iowa State University Student Code of Conduct, which includes hazing as any intentional, knowing or reckless action, request or creation of circumstances that: Endangers the health or safety of any individual; causes or presents a substantial risk of physical injury, serious mental distress or personal humiliation to any individual, or; involves the destruction or removal of public or private property in connection with initiation or admission into, or continued membership in, any group affiliated with the university, including but not limited to, any student, campus, fraternal, academic, honorary, athletic or military organization. It is not a defense to the violation of this

section that the hazing participant provided explicit or implied consent.

Apathy or acquiescence in the presence of hazing are not neutral acts; they are violations of this section. This information was obtained through the following website: http://www.policy.iastate.edu/policy/SDR#4.2.11.

Each student will sign that they understands this policy when they sign their membership acceptance card (bid card) with the chapter that they join. Hazing may be reported to the Office of Greek Affairs, the Office of Student Conduct, Iowa State Police Department, or the Dean of Students.

Sorority Housing The Iowa State Sorority and Fraternity Community has 44 facilities that house approximately 2,000 students during the academic year. Each chapter house occupies between 29 and 89 students. Facilities are considered university-affiliated housing as they are owned by private nonprofit corporation boards, LLCs, or their national housing corporation. Living in a fraternity or sorority house is cost-comparable to living in the Iowa State residence halls.

Fifteen of our seventeen Collegiate Panhellenic Council chapters have houses. Chapter houses range in size from 49 to 69 beds. Typically, students who join a Collegiate Panhellenic Council organization with a house live in the residence halls their first year and then move in the following year, if space allows. Upperclassmen typically live in off-campus housing, pending facility occupancy.
