Membership Benefits SCHOLARSHIP

UK’s fraternity and sorority community takes great pride in its scholastic achievement.

Both the new member and the all-Greek grade point average exceed the all-university average. The Fall 2017 all-Greek cumulative GPA was a 3.30 compared to the all-university cumulative GPA of 3.19. The difference was even greater for new members who achieved a GPA of a 3.29 compared to the all-freshman average of 3.06.

Chapters place great emphasis on encouraging, developing and maintaining academic progress. All groups have minimum standards for membership that serve to encourage and hold members accountable for academic success. Councils and chapters provide tutors, study programs and other incentives to promote academic improvement. Additionally, time management skills of fraternity and sorority members improve as they work to achieve their academic goals while also meeting chapter expectations.

LEADERSHIP

Membership in a fraternity or sorority offers students many opportunities to develop their leadership potential within the chapters as well as on campus. From day one members have the opportunity to grow their leadership skills through involvement with committees, event planning and leadership development programs.

UK’s organizations take great pride in having members serve as role models on campus in a variety of ways. Members have served in leadership positions in campus groups including Student Government, Center for Community Outreach, NAACP, DanceBlue, Club Sports, Student Wellness Ambassadors, K Crew Leaders, College Mentors for Kids, Black Student Union, Student Activities Board, Residence Life Association, Latino Student Union and many others.

SERVICE The University of Kentucky was founded on the principle of service, and chapters support a strong tradition of service to our campus and community. Each year, members donate thousands of dollars and, more importantly, thousands of volunteer hours to various charities.

While chapters focus on national philanthropies, all support local agencies as well.

Each of the councils promote collective service among its member chapters. All four of the governing councils are hosting a school supply drive during the K Week FSL Block Party.

Students are encouraged to participate in service from the beginning of their membership.

SOCIAL

UK’s fraternity and sorority community provides a diverse selection of social programs to its members. These programs vary from brotherhood and sisterhood events to social functions between different organizations. Friendship is a core value of fraternities and sororities, and groups work to provide events and activities that promote relationships within the chapter and in the entire fraternity and sorority community.

Fraternity and sorority members are also members of the Big Blue Nation and fill the stands for Wildcat athletic teams as well as student-life events such as Crunch Brunch and campussponsored concerts. Doing things together help members bond and develop relationships within their chapter, the larger fraternity and sorority community and to UK.

Requirements These are general requirements. Chapter-specific requirements are listed in council publications.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS All participants in the intake/recruitment process must be full-time undergraduate students at the University of Kentucky. Each of the chapters requires a minimum grade point average for joining. The Interfraternity Council is the only council with a minimum academic requirement for participation in recruitment.

FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS Joining a fraternity or sorority carries a financial commitment.

This financial commitment covers the cost of participation in chapter activities, dues and fees to the inter/national organization and housing costs for those groups with chapter facilities. The amount varies by chapter and each organization will have different options for payment including payment plans and scholarships.

New members can expect to pay more for the first semester of membership because of national initiation fees and other one time costs.

SERVICE REQUIREMENTS Being a member of a fraternity or sorority involves giving back to the local community as well as to each chapter’s national philanthropy.

Every chapter has its own service requirements for individual members that may range from completing individual service hours to attending chapter philanthropic events. Participating in these service events provides members with opportunities to get involved in the community to learn the importance of giving back to others.

HOUSING REQUIREMENT There are currently 30 IFC and Panhellenic Council chapters that have chapter houses. Living in a fraternity or sorority house is a great transition from living in the residence halls because it has many of the same benefits as the residence halls plus the opportunity to live with fraternity brothers or sorority sisters. Chapter house living usually includes sharing a room with at least one chapter member and having meals served Monday through Friday. Residents also have the convenience of living in the hub of many chapter activities.

If a chapter has housing, then members are likely to be required to live in the house for at least two semesters. However, not all fraternities and sororities provide housing.

Most fraternity or sorority housing corporations operate much like a landlord and must have all available spots occupied with a signed contract (and possibly a deposit). Most chapters have a house director who lives in an apartment within the house to provide security along with food, maintenance and housekeeping supervision. All chapter housing is different so this is a great topic to discuss with each organization.

HAZING STATEMENT

Policies

Fraternities and sororities were founded by students who came together as friends to create a bond and support each other academically. Their goals were intellectual, social and moral growth.

Fraternities and sororities at the University of Kentucky expect their members to strive for academic achievement, demonstrate responsible citizenship, show concern for the rights and needs of others and provide leadership by promoting self- respect of others.

As such, hazing in any form will not be tolerated. All new members are required to participate in university facilitated hazing prevention education at the beginning of the new member process.

The University of Kentucky defines hazing as any action or situation created by a member of the university community against another member of the university community for the purpose of affiliation with a group or organization that: (a) is negligent or reckless in nature; (b) is humiliating or endangers an individual; or (c) unreasonably interferes with scholastic or employment activities.

Actions and situations that may constitute hazing include, but are not limited to, the following: forced consumption of food, alcohol or drugs; paddling in any form; creation of unnecessary fatigue; personal servitude; physical and/or psychological shocks; forced wearing of apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good

taste; degrading or humiliating games and activities; sleep or food deprivation; unreasonable exposure to the weather; kidnapping or abandonment; line-ups and berating; undue interference with academic pursuits; or expectation of participation in activities that are illegal, lewd or in violation of University policy.

If you feel you are being hazed or know of a hazing incident, report it immediately to the Hazing Hotline at 859-257-8573 or online at stophazing.uky.edu.

ALCO HO L S TAT EM ENT

The University of Kentucky fraternity and sorority community opposes the misuse of alcohol and maintains that all chapters, all individual members and all guests must abide by state, local and university laws and regulations. Guidelines for social events involving alcohol are established by the University of Kentucky and prohibit students from possessing alcoholic beverages in the houses and on chapter premises. All chapters work to educate and foster a better understanding of social responsibility and alcohol education for their members.

National Pan-Hellenic Council “The purpose of the National Pan-Hellenic Council is to initiate, discuss, coordinate, oversee and maintain programs and activities of mutual interest.�

The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) at the University of Kentucky is the coordinating body of the eight active historically black fraternities and sororities. NPHC organizations were established during a time when African Americans were denied the rights of equal opportunity in society, including at colleges and universities. The organizations were founded to provide opportunities for members to support one another and their community in the pursuit of common values. Today, these organizations continue to embrace the ideals of unity, achievement and service to the community. The chapters strive to empower their members and the larger community socially, economically and politically through education and positive, intentional relationships. Through fellowship and acts of community service, everlasting bonds and friendship are inspired in every individual organization. The opportunity to experience such a genuinely rich tradition and history, while adopting an excellent legacy, makes NPHC organizations a great fit for prospective members.

How To Join

NPHC organizations take new members into their organizations through a process called membership intake. This process is organized by each chapter and includes selection of candidates, education about the organization and initiation and full membership.

Students interested in joining any of the NPHC organizations must complete NPHC 101. NPHC 101 is an in-person educational program organized by the council to provide interested students with more information about each chapter, membership intake and the expectations of fraternity and sorority life at the University of Kentucky. This program is mandatory for students prior to their participation in membership intake for any NPHC organization and more information about NPHC 101 is available at www.kentuckynphc.com.

KA traces its beginning to 1865, when four men at Washington College, in Lexington, Va., decided to bind their friendship by a “mutual pledge of faith and loyalty.” The founders sought to create an organization rooted in the highest ideals of the time. Those same traits of honor, chivalry and gentility have remained timeless throughout the ages and are the core of Kappa Alpha. Through fellowship and brotherhood, KA seeks to teach young men to be leaders, to be brave and self reliant and to continually strive to better themselves.

Kappa Sigma has more than 200,000 living members, including over 20,000 undergraduates and 320 chapters and establishing chapters located throughout the United States and Canada. Members strive to impart the values of fellowship, leadership, scholarship and service within members. Joining Kappa Sigma provides opportunities for fellowship, fun and personal growth.

Phi Delta Theta was built on three pillars that have not budged an inch since the Fraternity was founded by “The Immortal Six” in 1848 at Miami University. The pillars are: the cultivation of friendship among its members, the acquirement individually of a high degree of mental culture and the attainment personally of a high standard of morality. Shortened, these are referred to as the principles of friendship, sound learning and rectitude.

SAE's creed, The True Gentleman, outlines the fraternity’s mission of advancing the highest standards of friendship, scholarship, leadership and service for members throughout life. The Kentucky Epsilon chapter was founded on February 10, 1900 and has since been home to several notable alumni including William T. Young and Joe Craft. With the number one awarded SAE Alumni association amongst all 260 chapters across the nation, Sigma Alpha Epsilon here at UK provides endless resources to the 160 undergraduate brothers and numerous alumni who are willing and able to embody The True Gentleman.

The fundamental purpose of the Sigma Chi Fraternity is the cultivation, maintenance and accomplishment of the ideals of friendship, justice and learning within the chapter. Sigma Chi Fraternity best serves this purpose by developing, implementing and monitoring programs that foster leadership, build character and promote positive relationship skills that, in turn, enable members to become productive and caring participants within families, colleges and communities.

Sigma Nu was founded on the principles of love, honor and truth. The chapter strives to take these values to heart in every way possible. On campus, the chapter is well known for being a very tight knit chapter and being like family for each other. Last year, the chapter won the Dean’s Cup which is awarded to the fraternity who best exemplifies their fraternal values. In addition, membership has grown from 70 members to just under 110 members in the last two years. Sigma Nu offers a home away from home and the best way to get the most out of college.

SigEp was founded with the cardinal principles of virtue, diligence and brotherly love. The mission is “Building Balanced Men”, which is achieved through a commitment to sound mind and sound body. SigEp revolutionized the fraternity movement in 1991 by unveiling the Balanced Man Program, a concept of single-tiered membership and continuous development that begins the day a member joins. Based on equal rights and responsibilities for all members, the program’s progressive challenges provide brothers the opportunity to grow and finetune skills alongside what is provided in the classroom.

Panhellenic Council “The Panhellenic Council stands for good scholarship, for the guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards and for serving our college community.”

The Panhellenic Council is the governing body for the 14 National Panhellenic Conference sororities and one associate member sorority at the University of Kentucky. Panhellenic’s main goals are to create community-wide standards and relationships through leadership opportunities, educational and social programming and oversee fall primary recruitment. In the past, Panhellenic events have included a Women’s Leadership Conference, Month of the Woman and a Panhellenic Unity Candlelight Ceremony. Every sorority woman belongs to the Panhellenic Association immediately upon pledging. As the largest women’s organization and the second largest student organization, Panhellenic makes a significant impact on UK’s campus with its support for philanthropy, scholarship, leadership and sisterhood. @UK_Panhellenic

uksorority@uky.edu

FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS

Each of the Panhellenic sororities carries a financial commitment. Dues are assessed at the beginning of each semester, meaning that women will be expected to make two payments per year to her sorority. The first semester of membership tends to be the most expensive as there are often onetime initiation fees. At UK, those costs range from approximately $700 to $1,600 per semester, with the average being near $1,100 per semester.

Subsequent semesters average approximately $900 per semester. Some of the chapters do offer the opportunity to live in a sorority house. The cost to live in the chapter house ranges from around $3,200 to a little more than $4,750; average in-house cost is approximately $3,900 per semester. Many Panhellenic women pay for their own dues by working throughout the school year or having a summer job. To help with financial obligations, each organization will have different payment options that may include payment plans and scholarships.

Frequently Asked Questions Will joining a fraternity or sorority have a negative effect on my grades?

Actually, it’s more likely that membership in a fraternity or sorority will help improve your grades. Last fall, the all new-member average at UK was 3.29 while the UK all-freshman average was a 3.06. Why the difference? When students join a fraternity/ sorority they become part of a larger group of students who have already made it through their first year at UK. Not only does this group understand what a first-year student is facing, but it can also provide assistance in most of the courses new students will be taking. There are few other places where a student can gain access to the variety of resources that the fraternity and sorority community can offer. Ultimately, succeeding in the classroom is the student’s individual responsibility. With the broad range of resources available within the fraternity and sorority community, however, students are more likely to achieve their full academic potential.

Is hazing a traditional practice in fraternities and sororities?

The University of Kentucky has a very clear policy that hazing is prohibited on campus and it is not limited to fraternities and sororities but for any student, faculty, staff or visitor. Chapter members are educated on the dangers of such practices on an ongoing basis by both the University and the national/ international organization. Hazing, or any activity that subjects members to harassment, ridicule, intimidation, physical exhaustion or mental distress, is entirely contrary to the purposes of the fraternity and sorority community and the University of Kentucky and is not tolerated. If anyone ever thinks that they are being asked to participate in inappropriate activities, whether in a fraternity or sorority or any other student organization, the student should contact the Dean of Students Office immediately.

Are fraternities/sororities primarily social in nature, like in the movies?

That depends on your definition of “social.” The various activities of today’s fraternities and sororities include educational programs, community service events, intramural sports, alumni events, Parents’ Days, Homecoming, formals and date parties. While all of those events are “social” in some ways, there are additional benefits to participation. All fraternity and sorority chapter houses are alcohol-free facilities with exceptions only for registered alumni events. The Kentucky fraternity and sorority community prides itself on being a progressive, welcoming group.

34

Do I have to identify as a student of color to join a culturally-based fraternity or sorority?

No. Chapters within the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Sigma Lambda Beta, Sigma Lambda Gamma and Theta Nu Xi are open to students of all ethnic, racial and cultural backgrounds. These organizations were founded by students who identify with a particular cultural background for the purpose of providing students of color with an opportunity to find support systems and encouragement in higher education. Membership in these organizations is now open to students of any background, but the groups still include an inter/national focus on initiatives that benefit their particular cultural background.

How much time is required to be a member?

Participating in any worthwhile activity always requires a time investment. The old saying “you get out of it what you’re willing to put into it” could not be more true. Most of the fraternity men and sorority women are successfully balancing academics, a part-time job and a social life alongside chapter membership. While there are definitely some mandatory commitments that are set well in advance (e.g., weekly meetings, community service projects, new member education), a student can be as involved as they choose to be. Time requirements vary from group to group depending upon how ambitious of a programming calendar the chapter has. The students who are most active and involved are usually the ones most satisfied with their decision to join a fraternity or sorority.

Which chapter is the best one?

All fraternities and sororities share the values of scholarship, leadership, service and brotherhood/sisterhood. The University of Kentucky fraternity and sorority community is very strong, and all of the chapters fulfill their duties to achieve excellence in these areas. Each chapter has its own personality, and students will know which chapter is the best fit for them in both values and personality.

What role do parents play in the fraternity and sorority community?

Parents play an important role in the fraternity and sorority community by being supportive and engaged in their son or daughter’s experience. No matter if they were never in a fraternity or sorority or still volunteer regularly with their organization, there are ways for parents to be involved and helpful to their son or daughter. The Fraternity and Sorority Life Office encourages parents to keep an open mind, and encourage their child to do the same, as the membership experience is different for every member.

Chapters frequently have events for parents, regularly distribute newsletters and even have parent clubs designed to support the chapter. If parents ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Fraternity and Sorority Life Office.
