Office of Greek Life
Dear Future Members and Parents,
Congratulations on your acceptance to The Florida State University! On behalf of the 4,800 members of the Greek
community at FSU, we welcome you to the University. You are about to embark on an exciting journey that will help
you grow and change in ways you never thought possible. You will not only have fun, but will be challenged both
intellectually and personally.
This publication is a brief introduction to our wonderful and exciting Greek community at FSU and is designed to
help you explore the extraordinary opportunities that our community has to offer. As you begin your college career,
you will find that there are many organizations on campus for you to become involved with. Although each and every
one of these organizations will contribute to your development as a student, none are quite as exciting and rewarding
as becoming a member of a fraternity or sorority.
The Greek community exists as a proven support system for hundreds of thousands of men and women across the
country and around the world. It is our hope that The Florida State University’s Greek community can help
personalize your college experience by offering close friendships, scholastic assistance, leadership opportunities,
educational programming, social interaction and enrichment, and the chance to help others through philanthropic
events and community service projects. Your involvement will build character and an appreciation for others, as well
as enhance awareness of personal responsibility.
We encourage you to participate in Recruitment/Rush/Intake and to remain open minded about all the opportunities
that our Greek community has to offer. Fraternities and sororities are a source of pride at FSU and every chapter
has something unique to offer. The Office of Greek Life looks forward to working with you and we are here to assist
you in any way possible!
In Seminole Pride,
The Office of Greek Life Staff

Greek Life at FSU
Leadership
Greek students play a proactive role in leading Florida State’s campus! Not only does the Greek community
provide leadership opportunities such as the Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, National
Pan-Hellenic Council and Panhellenic Association, Greek students set a positive example in many campus-wide
student organizations, including:
•Student Alumni Association
•Seminole Student Boosters
•Garnet and Gold Key
•Garnet and Gold Guides
•Student Government Association
•Rho Lambda
•Hispanic Latino/a Student Union
•Orientation Leaders
•Resident Assistant
•Student United Way
•CARE Counselors
•Black Student Union
•Asian American Student Union
•Student Foundation
•Garnet and Gold Scholars
All members are encouraged to run for positions to maintain the traditions of leadership and Seminole pride that
each chapter proudly upholds. Greek leaders become adept at managing their time as they balance their academic
and social schedules, while improving their problem-solving, decision-making, communication, and leadership skills.
Scholarship
Despite all of the activities available to Greek students, the Greek community still manages to excel academically.
Each chapter has varying GPA requirements, study hours, and/or incentive programs to promote academic
excellence.
Fraternities and sororities recognize that academics are a priority and promote and reward you for your scholastic
achievements. Furthermore, chapter involvement in honorary organizations is phenomenal, with members
participating in Mortar Board, Omicron Delta Kappa Honor Society, Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society, Phi Eta Sigma
Honor Society, and many more.
Brotherhood/Sisterhood
One of the most memorable benefits of joining the Greek community is the long-lasting friendships that develop. Being
a member of a Greek organization is not the only way to expand your social circle at FSU; however, it is a consistent
and exciting approach to meeting many diverse students. Joining a fraternity or sorority is not about conformity;
instead, it teaches students how to develop their individuality and still be able to participate in group dynamics.
Memories, internship opportunities and employment opportunities are limitless as students connect with their peers in
the Greek community. Life-long connections are formed as a student becomes more involved within their chapter and
their council.
The Greek community is an amazing social resource because it means there is always someone you can study with, or
go to the gym, catch a concert or movie, enjoy Tallahassee nightlife, or just sit, chat, and relax! In addition to the typical
bonding activities, Greek students have found other ways to have fun and meet people. Homecoming, Dance Marathon,
and Greek leadership conferences are other ways that Greek organizations are paired up to network.
Community Service & Philanthrophy
Greek students are committed to being a positive entity in our Tallahassee community by participating in many
campus-wide philanthropies and local projects. Each fraternity and sorority has its own philanthropy that it supports
every year. These many service hours not only benefit the community but are documented in transcripts which act as
a valuable asset for applications to graduate school, scholarships, awards, and professional organizations.
The time devoted to and the funds raised for various philanthropies are a way for Greek students to enjoy an
enriching experience at FSU, while making a positive difference in the lives of others.

University Policies
Alcohol Policy
The Florida State University affirms the guiding ethical principle of responsible freedom. Students, staff, and faculty
are expected to show respect for order, ethical conduct, the rights of others, and a high sense of personal honor
and integrity. The Florida State University neither encourages, nor condemns the legal consumption of alcoholic
beverages. The University recognizes, however, that the majority of undergraduate students are below the legal
drinking age and that there are serious health risks and behavior problems associated with the use of alcohol in the
collegiate environment. Consequently, alcohol will be permitted at Florida State University only in those settings
which:
1. Comply with state laws, municipal county ordinances, and this policy;
2. Present minimum low health and safety risk; and
3. In no way inhibit the full participation of those who choose not to drink alcohol.
Any person or group in violation of federal or state laws, local ordinances, or of this policy will be reported to the
proper federal, state, local or University authorities for appropriate action.
Hazing Policy
The Student Conduct Code defines hazing as “any group or individual action or activity that inflicts or intends to
inflict physical or mental harm or discomfort or which may demean, disgrace, or degrade any person, regardless of
location, intent, or consent of participant’s)” (see Section 5, (d) of the Student Conduct Code for the definition).
All forms of hazing by any university student, student organization, or employee are expressly prohibited. Serious
penalties, such as separation from the university or loss of affiliation with Florida State University, may be imposed
on individuals or groups found in violation of these rules. To view the FSU hazing policy online visit
http://hazing.fsu.edu
Enrollment Policy
Fraternities and sororities can only open their membership to Florida State University students who are in good
standing with the University. Because our community believes so strongly in the value of the Greek experience, we
believe this expectation is critical and necessary to preserve the high quality of students that become involved in
the Greek community. Membership in Greek organizations is a privilege that should be reserved for students who
are matriculating and contributing to the University community. Fraternities or sororities that have non-University
affiliated individuals within their chapters are operating outside of the University’s expectations and subject to
review under the Student Conduct Code.

Alpha Epsilon pi
T
he brothers of Alpha Epsilon Pi are committed to the elements that make a fraternity
great. Our close knit brotherhood boasts a competitive intramural record in a variety
of sports. This includes an All-Fraternity Championship in Soccer, as well as IM football
and basketball teams that made it to the conference finals, and an IM softball team built
for a long run in the playoffs. But while we strive for excellence in athletics, we are also a
gentleman’s fraternity and work hard to do our part to benefit our fellow man.
A large part of our humanitarian effort is our Greek Idol show, a tremendously
successful annual philanthropy benefiting Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD).
Also, Alpha Epsilon Pi keeps a very active social calendar and has placed in
Homecoming the past two years and Dance Marathon in 2007. Our house in Heritage
Grove makes us quickly accessible to both the campus and the community. Furthermore,
Alpha Epsilon Pi is the only nationally recognized Jewish Fraternity, but open to everyone
regardless of their background.

n the spring of 2000, Maves Ranola and Rizcion Dagani ambitiously worked to establish
an Asian-American Interest Sorority on the campus of The Florida State University.
They felt that FSU, with its growing Asian population, needed an organization that
promoted leadership, timeless sisterhood, community service and Asian awareness.
The purpose of this Asian-American interest sorority is to promote sisterhood, scholarship,
leadership, and Asian-American awareness at FSU and in the community, while encouraging

ince 1949, members of the Epsilon Sigma chapter of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity
have strived for greatness, and dedicated themselves to academic excellence, campus
and community involvement, leadership skills and brotherhood. Our brothers are involved
in countless student organizations, as we strive to become better leaders. Our brothers are
strongly involved throughout the community and on campus. From interning in the capital,
and tutoring small children, to working with the Boys and Girls Club of America, every one
of our brothers strives to give back to the community, with hopes to leave both FSU and
Tallahassee better than it was when they arrived. Here at Alpha Tau Omega we live by a
saying of renowned Alumnus Skip Smith: “we do not apologize for having high standards.”
Our Fraternity is for a lifetime and our substantial alumni population shows that even after
your collegiate years, your life as an ATΩ is never ending. The bonds of brotherhood established in Alpha Tau Omega during your four years at FSU will leave you with more than
just good memories. The brothers from your chapter will become some of your best friends
or even your best man.

1968 and has been recruiting men of the finest quality ever since. We strive to excel in
all aspects of campus and Greek-life while still ensuring that we remain true gentlemen of
character. It is our goal to be faithful to our virtues of truth, honor, and personal integrity.
We maintain a balance in our lives with a strong commitment to our studies, athletics, and
an active social life. Chi Phi has also been able to achieve success in multiple other aspects
of campus life such as Dance Marathon and other events held throughout the school year.
Our brothers understand that when you work hard it pays off and this is exhibited in our
impressive social calendar. We have several date functions, a semi formal and formal;
most recently New Orleans, and a ski trip. Over the past year we have raised over $10,000
through our various philanthropies such as Chi Phi Build-A-Boat. At Chi Phi we strive
to build better men through lifelong friendships, leadership opportunities, and character
development.
This is what lies at the core of our organization, what we try to follow every day, and why
we are a brotherhood of leaders, scholars, and true gentlemen.

he Alpha Eta Chapter of Delta Delta Delta has been admired for its outstanding
dedication and performance at The Florida State University since 1916. The ladies of
Delta Delta Delta host an annual Dodgeball Tournament in the spring and Delta House of
Pancakes in the fall with proceeds benefitting the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The Chapter pledged to join together with Tri Delta sisters across the nation in achieving
their 10-year goal of raising ten million dollars to build a new wing of the hospital.
However, in 2010 Tri Delta raised it in four years! Now Tri Delta has challenged
themselves to raise fifteen million dollars in five years; St. Jude has kindly decided to name
the hospital addition after the Tri Delta organization for all their dedication over the years.
The Chapter participates and excels in various campus philanthropies as well as intramural
sports, Dance Marathon, Homecoming, and many others. They take pride in representation
as leaders across campus and hold true to their strong tradition of loyalty, charity, and
sisterhood. Delta Delta Delta encompasses friendship, morals, individual character, and
high ideals. “Let us steadfastly love one another,” is our open motto and an important
phrase members live by each day.

or over 50 years, the Gamma Mu chapter of Delta Gamma has been recognized for its
excellence at Florida State University and in the Tallahassee Community. Delta Gamma
sisters can be found cheering at an FSU football game, dancing as a Golden Girl at an
FSU basketball game, or giving back to the community through service and various
campus activities. Delta Gamma’s annual philanthropy, Anchor Splash, donates all proceeds
to Service for Sight, for sight conservation. Through our annual date functions such as
Anchor Ball, Rags to Riches, Hayride, Destination Unknown, sisterhood retreats, a variety
of themed socials, and relaxed “movie nights” at home, we create memories that will last a
lifetime. Our high ideals of honor, beauty, and loyalty, have become a foundation for our past,
present, and future sisters to live by. We encourage an atmosphere which will foster high
values of friendship among all college women, promote their educational and cultural
interests, create in them a true sense of social responsibility, and develop in them the best
qualities of character. Every single sister is unique, and yet we all join together in a single
bond of friendship through Delta Gamma.
Delta tau Delta
D
elta Tau Delta was the first fraternity on the Florida State campus. Over the past five
years the Delta Phi chapter has made strides never seen in the International
Fraternity. The chapter was crowned the 2009 Greek Week Winners, winning the IM
Championship, and Dance Marathon all in 2010. To add to all of this, Delt is one of the
most actively involved fraternities on campus, taking the initiative to encourage new
members to get involved in all areas of campus life. Some of our annual functions include
Delt Recon, Wild Wild Delts, and a Semi-Formal trip to New Orleans . We would be lying
if we said the newly renovated house did not help to make these events great. We pride
ourselves on the fact that we are Delt Gentlemen in all aspects of life, and love having fun
while always striving for excellence. Joining a fraternity is a big decision, and we have the
men that make it easy for you.

T

the development of character are the great goals of life. Through fellowship and
brotherhood, KA seeks to teach young men to be leaders; to be brave, self reliant, and to
continually strive to better themselves. We are different from other Greek letter fraternities
as Kappa Alpha is an “order” by design. We show this through the common ideals, traits,
and purpose we share. KAs continually strive for excellence, as evidenced in our proven
record of campus leadership. The Kappa Alpha Order seeks to create a lifetime experience
which centers on reverence to God, duty, honor, and character as inspired by our spiritual
founder – Robert Edward Lee of Old Virginia.

remained true to their dream of making Lambda Tau Omega a living reality for
generations of women who live to embody it and tell its story. These women took pride
in their work, and with determination and drive, on October 9th, 1988 made that dream a
reality. We strive to make our founder’s vision a reality by making the awareness of
diversity and multi-culturalism basic elements of our organization. Today, we are the
women known as the “enchanting mermaids”, keeping the foundation love, excitement,
and the mystery of sisterhood alive. Among the many things that are cherished by the
Sorority is the value of giving back to the community through various programs and
service initiatives. We celebrate the opportunity to embark on a sisterhood that will
surpass any bond ever made; sisterhood to last a lifetime!

Lambda theta Alpha
T
he year 1975 saw the birth of what started as a vision - an idea of an organization, a
sisterhood that would cater to the needs of Latinas and the universal woman. Thanks to
the tremendous strides made by our 17 founding mothers, this dream was realized, and took
form as the entity Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated, the first Latina
sorority in the nation. The purpose of Lambda Theta Alpha is to provide a sisterhood based
on Unity, Love, & Respect. To develop strong leaders who will then provide and practice
political, social and cultural activities. To promote Latino Unity through charitable and
educational programs. To maintain a high standard of learning and serve as a voice for all
Latino students. Saluting is a tradition unique to Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc.
Saluting is a means by which members of an organization can praise a particular member
within their organization or honor the organization’s past and current accomplishments.
Saluting symbolizes unity and respect.
Lambda Theta Phi
I
n 1975, no Latino fraternities existed in the United States. The Greek-letter
organizations catered to Anglo and African-American communities. Lambda’s founders,
as men of vision, realized there was a need to unite Latino students and develop them as
men of integrity and change. Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Incorporated was formed.

Latino unity, and service. At the undergraduate level, our brothers are active within the
Fraternity and several campus organizations. As a result, our undergraduates are

Phi Beta Sigma
P
hi Beta Sigma Fraternity was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C., on
January 9, 1914, by three young African-American students. The Founders, Honorable
A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown, wanted
to organize a Greek letter fraternity that would truly exemplify the ideals of brotherhood,
scholarship, and service.
The Founders deeply wished to create an organization that viewed itself as “a part of”
the general community rather than “apart from” the general community. They believed
that each potential member should be judged by his own merits, rather than his family
background or affluence, without regard to race, nationality, skin tone or texture of hair.
They desired for their fraternity to exist as a part of an even greater brotherhood which
would be devoted to the “inclusive we” rather than the “exclusive we”.
Today, Phi Beta Sigma has blossomed into an international organization of leaders.

harnessing the belief that they would soon be a recognized fraternity at Florida State with
a diverse yet exceptional quality group of gentlemen. Their priceless legacy is a supremely

organization that instills positive values amongst its members, provides an avenue for
leadership, and promotes self-betterment. Sigma Beta Rho has expanded from its roots
in the east coast with 40 recognized chapters and colonies that span the breadth of the
nation. Through the efforts of our brothers and the reputation that precedes them, we
have become the largest and most expansive fraternity of our kind in less than 15 years.
As every day passes, we realize that we are another day closer to the nationwide network
envisioned by our Founding Fathers. Through the years, we have carried our ideals of
Society, Brotherhood, and Remembrance beyond our original objectives. We promote
diversity within our organization and are proud to accept brothers of all cultures,
backgrounds, and beliefs. With such a diverse foundation of brothers, we continue to
create capable and upstanding leaders for the community that has done so much for us.

S
igma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was founded on November 12th, 1922, on the
predominately white campus of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our ideals
are multifold: Scholastic Achievement, Community Service, Character and Sisterhood.
Seven ladies came together with minds as one. They created an entity to be reckoned with
for generations to come. They took the finest ideals of workmanship, dedication to the
community, and the sheer integrity of true womanhood and embodied them in three letters:

Fellow Seminoles,
On behalf of the Interfraternity Council, I would like to say welcome to The
Florida State University!
Being a college student is both a challenging and rewarding experience, and you
will have ample opportunities to grow as an individual and a leader during your
time on Florida State’s campus. With that being said, one of the best ways to
ensure that you will receive the most out of these opportunities and experiences
is by joining a fraternity.

The Interfraternity Council is dedicated to the academic and social development
of its 24 respective fraternities and their members, and the leadership skills and
training that you will attain from your fraternal experience can be carried with
you for the rest of your life. Joining a fraternity will also give you the opportunity
to develop an extensive network of friends and resources that will ensure your
success now and throughout the rest of your college experience.
Members of Greek organizations are active in every aspect of campus, and if you
are looking to expand your horizons then there is no better place to start than by
joining a fraternity. Whether it’s in Student Government, Order of Omega, Garnet
and Gold Key Honor Society, the Seminole Student Boosters, Student United
Way, or many other organizations on campus, IFC leadership is sure to be found.
While the decision to join a fraternity can be a daunting and rather intimidating
task, I want to ensure you that it is decision that is certainly worth the effort.
With such a diverse array of fraternities, each with its own unique qualities,
I promise you that there is a perfect fit for each individual looking to join a
fraternity in our council.
The IFC at Florida State University is committed to building the leaders of
tomorrow each and every day on our campus, and I know that you will make a
great addition to what is already a thriving Greek system. I hope that you will
consider coming to check us out during Rush, and if there is ever anything that I
or my council Executive Board can do to assist you please feel free to contact us.

Multicultural Greek Council
Fellow Seminoles,
On behalf of all the Executive Board, the chapters, and colonies within the Multicultural Greek Council, we would like to
welcome you and wish you much success in your upcoming endeavors at The Florida State University. Entering college
has never been easy, but with the right transition, confidence and self-belief, anything can be done. In college so much can
be offered and one of the greatest opportunities for students is to become members of the Greek Life community. The
Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) works hand in hand with many different sororities and fraternities on our campus, but
most importantly consists of eleven active Greek organizations.
The purpose of the MGC is to unify and organize groups that seek to promote diversity and cohesion on campus and in the
community, encourage cooperation and harmony among member organizations and other organizations on campus, become
active within our community, provide educational programming and service for member organizations and the student body.
All of the organizations take much pride in promoting diversity and spreading cultural awareness on our campus. One of the
most important factors that our council takes much pride in is helping students find that home away from home and their
place on campus.
When I first arrived at FSU I had no idea there was a council with multicultural fraternities and sororities. After conducting
much research and meeting various members of organizations of the Multicultural Greek Council and other councils, I
decided the Multicultural Greek Council was for me. Since then I have learned many valuable lessons that will influence me
for the rest of my life.
It is my sincere hope that your experience at FSU is a memorable one. You can learn more about the organizations in the
Multicultural Greek Council on the Greek Life website at www.greeklife.fsu.edu. On behalf of my Executive Board, we wish
you good luck and hope you have an amazing and productive year.

National Pan-Hellenic Council
Greetings New Seminoles,
On behalf of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, we welcome you to The Florida State University. The National Pan-Hellenic
Council was founded on May 10, 1930 on the campus of Howard University and established at Florida State University on July
20, 1992. Collectively known as the “Divine Nine,” our council consists of the nine predominantly African-American fraternities
and sororities. These organizations are committed to scholarship, community service and cultural enrichment.
The purpose of the National Pan-Hellenic Council is to create and maintain high standards in the life of fraternities and sororities and to perpetuate constructive relationships within all of our organizations. Our council also fosters an understanding
of the structure and method of operation among its affiliate organizations by addressing coordinating and developing strategies on matters of mutual concern to the affiliate organizations.
If an individual is interested in joining an organization in the NPHC, most of the organizations in our council encourage men
and women to observe their respective members and to educate themselves on the history and philosophies of each organization. There will be many activities throughout the year that will sponsored by the organizations in the NPHC, thus giving an
individual many opportunities to interact with the members of the council. Once a man or woman identifies the organization
he/she would like gain membership into, he/she should attend a social or interest meeting sponsored by the organization of
interest. This is a formal introduction to the fraternity/sorority where an individual can meet the members and learn more
about the organizations history, ideas, and membership requirements.
In the 2011-2012 school year, the National Pan-Hellenic Council is looking forward to a great year filled with exciting
events and new faces on the campus of Florida State University. We happily invite you to join us in some of our most highly
anticipated events including: Summer Oasis Showcase, The NPHC “Unity Week”, and the “Extravaganza” Step Show. We
hope you enjoy your time here at The Florida State University!!!

Dear Potential New Members,
On behalf of the Panhellenic Association and the Greek Community, I would like to personally welcome you to The Florida
State University!
Being a college student is both a challenging and rewarding experience. During your time on Florida State’s campus you will
be presented with ample opportunities to grow as an individual and a leader. One very special opportunity is to become a member of a Greek organization.
When you join a sorority, you also become member of the largest and most diverse women’s organization our campus has to
offer, the Panhellenic Association. The Panhellenic Association is the unifying, governing and coordinating body of the 16 NPC
member groups at Florida State. Serving as a liaison for sororities, other campus organizations, and administration, the Panhellenic Association is dedicated to facilitating the academic, social and philanthropic development of each sorority and their
members.
From community service and philanthropic efforts to campus-wide involvement and achievements, Panhellenic women continuously make a difference at the University. Year after year, our community continues to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars
to benefit sorority and fraternity philanthropies and campus-wide events such as the Dance Marathon and Relay for Life.
Panhellenic women not only pride themselves on academics, organizational leadership and philanthropic service, but also on
forming lasting friendships and support systems that will live on years beyond graduation. Your involvement in a sorority and
the Panhellenic Association will create the path for you to grow as an individual and prepare for life after college.
I look forward to sharing the Panhellenic experience with you

Dear Potential New Member,
I would like to be the first to welcome you to our outstanding Panhellenic Community here at the Florida State University.
The Florida State Greek Community is the largest values-based organization on campus. The benefits of joining a sorority
here at FSU extend far beyond the social experience. Sorority membership provides you with endless opportunities for community service, leadership development, academic excellence and lifelong friendships.
Coming from a non-Greek family with no legacy preceding me, I was nervous to participate in Recruitment. Looking back
over the past three years, I am so grateful for the countless opportunities that Greek Life has provided me. I encourage you
to participate in Recruitment with an open mind. Each of our 16 sororities has their own ritual and rich traditions; however,
each one offers a meaningful history and lifelong friendships, making it a smaller piece to our larger Panhellenic community.
I am so excited you are interested in becoming a part of this Panhellenic sisterhood!
Over the past year, our Recruitment Staff, Rho Gammas (Recruitment Counselors) and chapters have been diligently working
to improve our Recruitment Process and make it the best it has ever been. Over the spring semester the Head Rho Gammas
trained over 70 fun-loving and devoted women to provide you assistance throughout Recruitment week. The Computer Analysts have spent the summer training our members in the program that handles the mutual selection process between you and
the chapters. Ashley, the Assistant Vice President of Membership, and I have been working side-by-side with the Chapter
Recruitment chairs, Panhellenic Executive Council, Rho Gammas, and Greek Life staff to ensure the best Recruitment week
yet!
I am glad that you are interested in the rich and rewarding opportunities that Florida State’s Panhellenic community has to
offer. The recruitment process at FSU is one in which you seek out a chapter that matches your own values and beliefs!
I encourage you to register for 2010 Recruitment and see first-hand what our exceptional Panhellenic community has to
offer you.
In Panhellenic and Seminole Pride,
