welcome reetings from the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs! The Greek community at Oklahoma State University is one of the most dynamic in the country. OSU Greeks continually win awards at every level: personal, chapter, regional, divisional and national. For many years we have had top chapters of national fraternities and sororities on our campus. This is an exceptional Greek community you are considering. OSU Greek men excel in a number of areas. The all-fraternity grade point average has been above the all-undergraduate men s average for at least 30 semesters. Fraternities consistently perform more community service, literally thousands of hours, than any other segment of the OSU family. Fraternity teams have always won the all-university intramural trophy. And, yes, there are social events as well. As you study the fraternities of OSU, look closely at the chapters from several points of view. Look beyond the actual physical structure that could be your home for the next four years. Look at the men who live there now. Look at the achievements of each chapter. Each chapter will have strengths particular to that fraternity. As representatives of each fraternity talk with you, consider the founding values of the organization. They should be able to tell you how and why their organization was founded. Ask them how they live up to those values in their chapter today, both on campus and in the surrounding communities. You should associate with a fraternity of men who have similar values, interests and goals to your own. You should associate with a fraternity of men you feel comfortable around. You should associate with a fraternity of men who you will be proud to call brother for the rest of your life. Be aware that the Interfraternity Council's recruitment process is substance free. Any organization that violates this criterion is dubious and you should closely evaluate its values and standards. Please note that every effort has been made to provide you with accurate and upto-date information about each fraternity. However, all the information contained on the chapter profile pages is subject to change at any time without notice. Any questions regarding specific information listed on any of the chapter profile pages can be directed to the recruitment chairman for that fraternity. Enjoy yourself as you consider becoming involved with one of the finest collections of fraternities in the nation. Select wisely, you are making a lifelong commitment.

greek life at osu interfraternity council t Oklahoma State University fraternity is used to describe a brotherhood of men who have voluntarily joined together to achieve excellence in several areas. OSU fraternities promote academic achievement, leadership opportunities, campus activities, fellowship, community service to both the Oklahoma State campus and the city of Stillwater, and help prepare members for successful careers. While local fraternities had been in existence on the Oklahoma A&M campus since 1908, Lambda Chi Alpha became the first nationally recognized fraternity at Oklahoma A&M College on September 15, 1917. Between 1908 and 1916 sub rosa groups, including the men s groups Delta Sigma, Sigma Beta Chi, Phi Kappa Delta and Gamma Zeta and the women s groups Beta Phi, Alpha Theta, Gamma Phi and Delta Delta flourished. An Interfraternity Council and a Panhellenic Council were already in place when the first nationally recognized group, Lambda Chi Alpha, arrived in 1917. The War Department ordered Greek Life suspended until after World War I, but when the war ended Greek development at OAMC exploded. Eleven national fraternities were installed on campus in 1919-1920. The oldest group, and the first to purchase a chapter house, Delta Sigma, became recognized as the Gamma Lambda Chapter of Beta Theta Pi in 1923. Today, the fraternity system has grown to 23 nationally recognized men s organizations. The Interfraternity Council of Oklahoma State University governs these groups. Although the university acknowledges, supports and values self-governance as part of the collegiate Greek experience, the university believes self-directed activities can be facilitated and enhanced through stable and guiding relationships with qualified and experienced professional personnel of the university. Therefore, the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs is responsible for advising the self-directed activities of the governing councils of the Greek system, including the Interfraternity, Panhellenic, National Pan-Hellenic and Multicultural Greek Councils. The role of such advisement includes coordinating, training, guiding, counseling, supporting and assisting the councils to function effectively within the frameworks of the university, North-American Interfraternity Conference, National Panhellenic Conference and National Pan- Hellenic Council policies. The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs is managed by two full-time professionals, a full-time senior unit assistant and three half-time graduate assistants. Ival Gregory, Manager of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs, interacts primarily with the Interfraternity Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council, and their member organizations. Ann Reightler, Coordinator of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs, interacts primarily with the Panhellenic Council and the Multicultural Greek Council, and their member organizations. Megan Edmonds, graduate assistant, assists Ival, oversees Fraternity & Sorority Affairs programming and advises Order of Omega. Kristi Triplett, graduate assistant, assists Ann and advises Junior Greek Life. Darius Jones, graduate assistant, advises the Multicultural Greek Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council. Melisa Echols, senior unit assistant, supports the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs and Center for Ethical Leadership.

ifc recruitment registration becoming a fraternity member To become a member of a fraternity or sorority, you must go through the process of recruitment. Recruitment, simply stated, is the membership selection process. Across the nation, universities execute this process at the beginning of their fall or spring semester. Here at OSU our recruitment process is an informal one, meaning that the bulk of our recruitment occurs during the summer. Oklahoma State s Interfraternity Council (IFC) has implemented a registration process for potential new members of OSU fraternities. Before a young man can commit to affiliating with a fraternity, also known as signing, he must complete the IFC registration. Seven days after the application and fee are received by the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs, the recruit may sign with the fraternity of his choice that has extended him a bid. While fraternity recruitment is a year-round activity, summer recruitment unofficially starts with Greek Discovery Day. Greek Discovery Day will be in the early Spring. Throughout the summer, individual fraternities will contact potential new members. Each chapter has different features, advantages and benefits. It is important to note, the best chapter for you may not be the best fit for a friend or classmate. IFC encourages you to play a proactive role in your recruitment process by attending Greek Discovery Day. Signing Day is the first day fraternities are allowed to sign prospective new members. Keep in mind that this is the first day, and you will have the opportunity to sign with a chapter all summer. Signing Day for 2016 will be on June 20. Each fraternity holds their own signing party, which all vary by times and venues. For those of you who are unable to attend Greek Discovery Day, you can get involved by contacting the IFC recruitment chairman. He can answer any other questions you may have about the recruitment process and inform you of any other IFC sponsored events that would be beneficial to your recruitment process. Please remember that Interfraternity recruitment at Oklahoma State University is a substance-free process. Any group who violates this concept is suspect and recruits should very closely evaluate that group s values and standards. questions you should ask Following are some sample questions you should ask the representatives of the Greek organizations that approach you about becoming affiliated with them. Why should I join? What aspects of the chapter encouraged you to join? What are the financial obligations of a new member? Are there additional costs that members are required to pay other than the fees listed? Does your chapter offer need-based scholarships or other payment plans? How long is the new member program and how much time do I need to devote to it? What is the percentage of new members who get initiated into your fraternity? What other campus organizations have you had an opportunity to participate in as a result of your Greek experience? How does your chapter promote scholarship? In what ways is your chapter involved with philanthropies and community service? What types of activities are planned with other Greek organizations? Is it possible to maintain a part-time job and still have time to fulfill your commitment to a fraternity? What is the availability of housing and what are the rules pertaining to living in the fraternity house? How will Greek life benefit me in the future? What are the founding values of your organization? To be eligible for Interfraternity Council recruitment, three steps must be completed prior to signing an Intent to Pledge/ Associate Form. They are: 1. Online Registration Go to www.osuifc.com and click on recruitment. Follow that link to complete the IFC Recruitment Registration. 2. Registration Fee A $50 registration fee is required for every individual who intends to pledge/associate with a fraternity. Cash, checks and credit cards are accepted. Checks need to be made payable to IFC. 3. Official High School/College Transcript Your official high school/college transcript will be made available to all the chapters through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Submission is not necessary. The first two items must be completed prior to signing an Intent to Pledge/Associate Form with any fraternity at Oklahoma State University. Registration is not complete if either of the required items is missing or incomplete. Any questions should be directed to: Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs 211J Student Union Stillwater, OK 74078 405.744.5490 If an individual signs a Letter of Intent to Pledge/Associate Form but has not completed the above requirements, the Letter of Intent will not be accepted by the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs and will be considered invalid until all steps are completed. If any individual is found in violation of OSU Interfraternity Council s dry recruitment policy (including bringing alcohol to a recruitment event or consuming alcohol at a recruitment event), he will not be allowed to pledge/associate a fraternity for one semester. 4 5

achievement awards greek awards klahoma State University recognizes the value of the Greek system experience for its participants. Accordingly, the university encourages the participants to obtain outstanding levels of quality and to strive for continuous improvements. The primary purpose of the Chapter Quality Achievement Program, a strategy for quality, is to recognize the Greek organizations for their outstanding achievement in a number of areas. Its secondary purpose is to serve as a strategic planning system designed to enhance overall quality for the organization. The organizations that participate are not competing against one another for recognition; rather, they are assessing how well they uphold or meet the criteria that comprise the program. Therefore, no specified number of awards are presented each year. Although participation in the Chapter Quality Achievement Program is voluntary, participation is encouraged as a means of enhancing the Greek system at Oklahoma State University. A residual benefit of the Chapter Quality Achievement Program is to provide a resource for the organizations that wish to improve their performance in one or more program categories. award categories The broad categories comprising the award include: Alumni Relations Brotherhood/Unity Chapter Management/Leadership Financial Management Individual/Campus Involvement Member Education Philanthropy/Community Service Physical Development Property Management Public Relations Recruitment Program Relationship with Advisors/House Corporation Relationship with National/International Office Relationship with University/Administration Risk Management Scholarship Social and Moral Development Spiritual Development award levels The Chapter Quality Achievement Program is composed of two levels of awards. Exemplary Performance: Awarded to each organization that attains a minimum of 90 percent of the possible points. Commended Performance: Awarded to each organization that attains a minimum of 80-89.9 percent of the possible points. Greek organizations that receive either award are entitled to use this distinctive honor (exemplary or commended) in their various activities for the upcoming year. For example, during an organization s upcoming recruitment program the organization is entitled to inform recruits that it is the recipient of the current year s exemplary or commended performance award. Regrettably the Exemplary and Commended Performance awards are not being presented this year due to an oversight in the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs. The application is 40 pages long and it was not distributed in time to allow the chapters to complete it to the best of their ability prior to publication of this booklet. However, in an effort to recognize past recipients you will find the appropriate symbol on each fraternity s page based on their past fifteen years performance in this valuable exercise. 20 thomas m. keys award FarmHouse 20 troxel awards Campus Involvement...FarmHouse Campus Relations...FarmHouse Community Service...FarmHouse Intramurals...

scholarship questions raternities at Oklahoma State University strive for high scholarship and the development of academic excellence among their members. All chapters at OSU maintain academic membership entrance requirements higher than the standards required by the university. Most chapters also require a minimum GPA to remain an active member. To assure brothers are progressing academically, all chapters provide scholastic assistance in various forms. This assistance can include tutoring, academic mentoring, scholarship awards and test files. Chapter members know the importance of helping new members adjust to university level academics and help prepare them for academic achievement. The Greek community at OSU will help you adjust to your new surroundings and give you many opportunities to attain academic excellence while you are in college. Recently, the Greek community at OSU was nationally recognized for the seventeenth semester since 2004 for achieving the highest possible differential between Greek and non-greek grades in the Midwest. We take great pride in the fact that the all-fraternity average GPA is consistently higher than the all-undergraduate men s average GPA at OSU. scholarship report for 2015 chapter members fall '15 gpa spring '15 gpa 1.

Joining a fraternity or sorority is a lifetime commitment with lifetime benefits. Following graduation, members can find alumni groups from their organization all over the nation. These alumni groups offer the continuation of the friendship and experiences of Greek life. What time commitment is required when joining a sorority or fraternity? Membership in a Greek chapter requires from two to eight hours per week. Being a part of a fraternity or sorority can be as time consuming as the student chooses. Participation in some events (Spring Sing, Freshman Follies, Varsity Revue, etc.) take more time than other activities. Greek members learn time management early in their collegiate careers. If a person joins a fraternity or sorority and decides he or she doesn t like it, can he or she join another one? That depends on several factors. As long as the person has not been initiated into a chapter, there may be procedures to affiliate with another chapter. There will be a waiting period before that person can sign or affiliate with another chapter. That waiting period will vary based on gender and the circumstances surrounding the situation. How has Greek membership affected past students scholastically? At OSU, fraternity and sorority members average GPA is.3532 points higher than non-greek students, and the all-greek GPA has exceeded the all non-greek GPA for more than 30 consecutive semesters. Is hazing a problem? Oklahoma State University has very strict policies, and the State of Oklahoma has laws against hazing. Additionally, the IFC and Panhellenic Councils have adopted a governing document that speaks to the topic of hazing. When violations of the Hazing Code can be substantiated, the responsible parties will be dealt with in a fast, firm and fair manner. Are there campus rules for living in a fraternity or sorority? Alcohol? Greek chapters are all considered university approved housing. As such, freshmen are allowed to live in them and they must be substance free and provide a house director. All OSU students must conduct themselves according to the Students Rights and Responsibilities. Additionally, the Greek community, through the governing bodies of IFC and Panhellenic, has additional policies and expectations of its membership. If my son is considering joining a fraternity should he go ahead and submit his residence hall housing deposit in case he changes his mind? Absolutely. All freshmen are required to live in university approved housing. It is important he have his choice of housing on campus if he does choose to live in a Residential Life facility. Do sororities and fraternities cost more than living in the residence halls? Each individual chapter establishes their own fees, and the costs and services will vary from chapter to chapter. In a study completed in June 2015, the average expense was less to live in Greek housing. When room and board (15 meals per week) were compared between the averages of Greek chapters and single-student housing provided by Residential Life, the average cost of Greek living was more than $1,000 less per year than living in Residential Life. That comparison included pledge or s. Likewise, it also included any social, parlor or house corporation fees. All of these expenses are subject to change. Please ask for the most up-to-date information prior to making any decision. Does financial aid cover any expenses? Cash awards students receive can be applied to room and board in Greek chapter houses. What is a house director? A house director is a live-in adult, sometimes a graduate student, employed by the chapter house corporation. His or her duties vary from chapter to chapter. Generally, the house director serves as host or hostess for social events; supervises employed staff; counsels and works with members; and manages and maintains the house and kitchen. All sororities and fraternities with houses are required to have a house director. 8 9

ifc policies ifc recognized fraternities Please understand not all Greek letter groups that may be considered fraternities are recognized by the Interfraternity Council. If a Greek letter men s group is not recognized by the Interfraternity Council then they are not recognized by Oklahoma State University. Groups that are not recognized are not allowed to participate in many of the activities at OSU that provide the full Greek experience. While other groups may have aspirations of membership in the Interfraternity Council, the list below and the organizations actually described in this booklet are the only current members of IFC. At the time of publication of this booklet the following 23 fraternities are members of the Interfraternity Council and are recognized by Oklahoma State University: Alpha Gamma Rho Alpha Sigma Phi Alpha Tau Omega Beta Theta Pi Delta Chi Delta Kappa Epsilon Delta Tau Delta FarmHouse Kappa Alpha Order Kappa Sigma Lambda Chi Alpha Phi Gamma Delta Phi Kappa Tau Pi Kappa Alpha Pi Kappa Phi Sigma Alpha Epsilon Sigma Chi Sigma Nu Sigma Phi Epsilon Sigma Pi Sigma Tau Gamma Tau Kappa Epsilon Theta Chi interfraternity council recruitment policy As leaders of fraternities, we realize it is time to turn back and rediscover our values. It is time to return to our original purpose of building long-term relationships and encouraging our brothers to live up to the highest ideals. The first step is changing the focus of our current system for recruiting new members. The open structure of the current recruitment system provides great opportunities for fraternities to build solid friendships with men matriculating to OSU. The system itself does not need serious changes. However, alcohol has polluted the process and jeopardized our fraternal purpose. It is our objective to show both the public and ourselves that we can uphold an agreement to have an open recruitment devoid of alcohol. We see the need for a public, binding agreement among the leadership of the fraternities to follow the dry recruitment policy. We affirm that the fraternity leaders, namely the chapter presidents, the recruitment chairmen and the chapter advisors, have both the responsibility and the ability to hold each chapter to this agreement. If our leadership fails to uphold its honor as gentlemen, we agree the university has the responsibility to swiftly and severely punish those chapters not upholding the agreement. We understand this proposal leaves a great deal of freedom to fraternities. We understand if any chapter violates this policy the future design of recruitment will lead to more cumbersome and less productive restrictions. Therefore, there is every reason to cooperate and make this system work. leadership agreement of accountability The agreement will outline the rules of dry recruitment and the sanctions for violating the dry recruitment policy. The agreement must be signed by every chapter president, every recruitment chairman and one alumni advisor from each chapter. The agreement must be well publicized and covered in at least two newspapers. The agreement must be done annually prior to Greek Discovery Day. The agreement shall consist of three carbon copies: one will be sent to the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs, one sent to the chapters and one sent to the individual leader. The success and honor of the system will rest on the shoulders of each leader. dry recruitment regulations No fraternity may provide alcoholic beverages at any recruitment function. Definitions: a.

The young men who you meet today are going to have an everlasting impact on your life. In fact, they may just end up being your brothers. Sincerely, Gatlin Squires President, Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity 224 s. washington stillwater, ok 74074 p. 405.488.8440 Welcome to Oklahoma State! I congratulate you on your both your decisions to attend OSU and pursue membership in the Greek Community. The Fraternities and Sororities of this university are some of the best in the nation and do much to improve the quality of life on campus and in the Stillwater area. Regardless of what house you choose to associate with, you are taking an exciting step of personal growth! Alpha Sigma Phi was founded nationally in 1845 at Yale University on the values of Silence, Honor, Charity, Purity, and Patriotism. Locally, Alpha Sig colonized at OSU in the Fall of 2013 and gained its official charter as the Eta Alpha Chapter on January 30, 2016. These past few years have seen rapid and exciting growth as we have formed into an officially chartered chapter. We have accomplished great success in academics, philanthropy, community service, and leadership by building completely from the ground up. From a small group of committed men, we forged an intimate brotherhood that has come farther than any of our founding members could have ever predicted. However, this is still the beginning for Alpha Sigma Phi. We are seeking men with an entrepreneurial spirit to continue to build this chapter and to live our mission of bettering the world through bettering men. We pride ourselves on our inclusive atmosphere where ALL brothers ideas and experiences are valued; this is truly YOUR opportunity to help create an organization that betters the world and forms lasting relationships for life. Speaking personally, Alpha Sig has given me the opportunity to lead my brothers, to serve others, and to leave a legacy on campus that I am truly proud of. Joining Alpha Sig was one of the best decisions I have made as an undergraduate at Oklahoma State. I would encourage you to speak to our brothers to learn more about what Alpha Sigma Phi has to offer. I promise you will not be disappointed.

alpha tau omega beta theta pi Gentleman, Congratulations on becoming a part of one of the greatest traditions of building better men that any college has to offer. Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity has been a leader of college men, not only achieving great success in the classroom, but also making our mark on one of the country s most prestigious Greek communities. ATO was founded on leadership development and Christian principles, two concepts that are vital for success and a lasting brotherhood. Our on-campus experiences include being competitive in every show for multiple years, ranking second in all-university intramurals,consistently placing high in fraternity grade point average, and competing in homecoming. Nationally, ATO here at Oklahoma State logged the most philanthropy hours of all 0 ATO chapters. We host one of the greatest philanthropy events on campus and consistently raise more money each year to give back to the local YMCA. Additionally, ATO was awarded the National Top Chapter Award two years ago and National Runner-up Award this past year for participation on and off campus. Every year ATO competes in every single category Greek Life has to offer and we strive to make every individual a better leader. We hope you enjoy your recruitment process and consider Alpha Tau Omega for your home for the next four years. Fraternally, Welcome to Oklahoma State! At Beta Theta Pi, we are dedicated to the building up of men of principle for a principled life. By following our core values, we are able to create a culture that cultivates success and brotherhood. In the classroom or at the intramural fields, on the stage or in the community, Beta continues to create the standard for others to follow. When you enter the house you might see an artist, an engineer, a businessman or a doctor, but in all these men you will see the character of Beta. The character of Beta means no matter how far you go or how long ago you left, you will always find lasting friendships at the 1207.

delta chi delta kappa epsilon Gentlemen, The men of the Oklahoma State Chapter of the Delta Chi Fraternity would like to congratulate you for deciding to explore the opportunities of Greek life at Oklahoma State. Delta Chi has more than 50 years of rich history in the Greek community at OSU that dates back to 1948. Participation in Greek life will enhance your college experience and assist you in achieving a sound education. Delta Chi was first established at Oklahoma State University on October 9, 1948, and remained on campus until 2000. We were reestablished in the fall semester of 20 and because of our rapid growth and strong alumni support, we already have plans for a house. We are excited for what the future holds for the Oklahoma State chapter. The core values of Delta Chi are to promote friendship, develop character, advance justice and assist in the acquisition of a sound education. By joining Delta Chi it will not only aid you in preparing to take on the worldly endeavors that occur after you receive your diploma, but it will help build your character as a man and prepare you for life after college. Fraternally, Nick Merlino President, Delta Chi Fraternity On May 1, 2013, the efforts of twelve men whose goal was to establish a fraternity emphasizing diversity, brotherhood, leadership, and education was rewarded by the installment of one of Oklahoma State University s newest fraternities, Delta Kappa Epsilon. DKE s national fraternity looks for men who most represent the qualities of the gentleman, the scholar, and the jolly good fellow. Our national chapter boasts one of the most successful alumni bases, including five former U.S. Presidents (more than any other fraternity), prominent businessmen, such as JP Morgan and Irving Chase, fourteen Medal of Honor recipients, more than two hundred members of Congress, and even the famous explorers Alan Bean and Robert Peary. In the three years since our chapter was chartered we have initiated over 80 men each of whom share the ideals of gentlemanship, scholarship, and jolly good fellowship. Diversity and acceptance has been and continues to be our focus. We have many brothers who are international, and each of us has a home away from home in that yellow house on the corner of 3rd and Garfield. Every man experiences uncertainty, but I can say without a doubt that in my short years at Oklahoma State I owe some of my closest lifelong relationships to DKE. If you re looking for a positive college experience that will stay with you forever, look no further. Rush DKE.

sigma tau gamma tau kappa epsilon Gentlemen, Welcome home, to Oklahoma State University. On behalf of the Epsilon Psi chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma I would like to welcome you and congratulate you on choosing to possibly be a part of one of the greatest Greek Communities in the nation. We here at Oklahoma State and Sig Tau are very excited for you all to be here and for you to be interested in our organization. The choice to join Sig Tau has been one of the best decisions I have made during my collegiate career and it has paid off in a big way. Some of the benefits that I have realized from being a part of my organization are a better GPA than I would have had otherwise, being more involved on campus, and most importantly I have found my family away from home. The single most important take away from being in a fraternity is the people, your brothers. Sigma Tau Gamma for me, has become my family, they are the people I live with and hangout with more than anyone else. These will be the men that you rely upon for friendship and comradery for all of your life. These are the men that will stand beside you at your wedding, the men you will call when your children are born, and these are the men that one day you would like your future daughter to be with one day. I encourage you all to make the most out of your experience here at Oklahoma State. Go Pokes! Fraternally yours, John Ivy President, Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon welcomes you to our remarkable school Oklahoma State University. You are about to embark on a journey leading to your bright future. When you start your journey here at OSU, a variety of opportunities will present themselves. Greek Life is a great way to get involved with the community, forge fraternal bonds, and prepare yourself for the future. After meeting our previous goal of one million dollars, Tau Kappa Epsilon has pledged to raise 1.5 million dollars for St. Jude Children s Research Hospital over the course of five years. The friendships that I have built with my brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon are irreplaceable. Tau Kappa Epsilon s membership program emphases the individual and aids in the pursuit of his ambitions.
