Involvement Opportunities

Our mission is to shape a values-based sorority and fraternity experience. We cultivate educational and leadership development in collaboration with individuals and organizations to foster a culturally conscious, safe, and responsible community contributing to positive sisterhood, brotherhood, and siblinghood.

In addition to the many opportunities students have as members to engage in programs and learn from each other, our office compliments student development by offering dynamic leadership and educational programs, trainings, and support for both chapter and council leaders.

New Member Orientation

New Member Orientation is a program for the newest members of the sorority and fraternity community. This program focuses on addressing expectations, behavior, and community values, while welcoming new members to the UT sorority and fraternity community.

Good Standing and Achieved Excellence

Sorority and Fraternity Life created the Good Standing and Achieved Excellence Program to clearly communicate expectations as well as provide a platform for organizations to track their events and achievements throughout the year. More information on which organizations achieved Good Standing is available at deanofstudents.utexas.edu/sfl/goodstanding.php.

Internship Opportunities

Sorority and Fraternity Life regularly creates unique internship experiences based on skills and interests. Past opportunities have focused on graphic design, social media, leadership development, peer-to-peer facilitation, and student affairs. Internships may also be eligible for course credit.

Ladder of Risk

Ladder of Risk is a four-hour workshop that trains chapter leaders on risk management practices, including the North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) Alcohol and Drug Guidelines. The workshop allows them to work through case studies to relate to real situations, and creates conversations about planning safer social events.

Sorority and Fraternity Life Awards

Sorority and Fraternity Life encourages the entire community to participate in our awards process. It’s a great way to receive recognition for the outstanding service, philanthropy, scholarship and leadership of individual members and chapters each year.

Safety Education Program

Sorority and fraternity leaders complete an in-person workshop on bystander intervention and safety topics such as: Hazing, Drug Use and Abuse, Alcohol Use and Abuse, Sexual Assault and Harassment, Behavior at Organization Events, Safety and Security, Student Organization Travel, Mentoring and Interactions with Minors, and Disability Advocacy. This education is then taught to the general membership of each organization as part of the requirement found in the Texas Education Code, Section 51.9361.
