THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO FRATERNITY SORORITIY life INFORMATION GUIDE 2017
WELCOME The UTSA Fraternity and Sorority Community welcomes you to the University of Texas at San Antonio. Our Community is made up of 34 chapters and over 1,000 students who have created a home away from home for themselves here on campus. Although each chapter is unique in origin, history, membership and rituals, every fraternity and sorority holds firmly to common values of unity, excellence, involvement and self-development. We invite you to look into all of the unique experiences and opportunities that our community has to offer. The core values of our community are Leadership, Scholarship, involvement, Service and Social Development. The UTSA Fraternity Sorority community represents an outstanding group of students who achieve their dreams and succeed on a daily basis. Membership in the community also comes with unparalleled opportunities for involvement and leadership; whether it be positions within a chapter, opportunities in governing councils, students are put on the fast track to a multitude of opportunities that can enhance their college experience and develop them into strong leaders. Additionally, the personal enrichment that accompanies the brotherhood or sisterhood of a Fraternity or Sorority proves to be the most everlasting friendships that last far beyond the four years in college. We believe that being members of the Fraternity Sorority community has shaped us in to the type of leaders that we want become. When looking back on our time at UTSA, we know that much of our experience will be due in large part to our Fraternity Sorority experience. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT OUR MIX AND MINGLE EVENT DURING ROADRUNNER DAYS!

COUNCIL PRESIDENTS Council: IFC Major: Business Management Why I went Greek: I choose to be in a fraternity in order to be more involved in the community and develop life long friendships with my brothers. This is a decision that I have never looked back on. Council: MGC Major: Kinesiology Why I went Greek: Greek life was never something that I thought I would do. After meeting all the brothers in I realized I had found my new home. This has given me life long relationships, connections and leadership skills. Council: NPHC Major: Psychology Why I went Greek: I felt that Greek Life is a culmination of every organization I would want to join; it promotes leadership, community service, and scholarship. The idea of a lifelong sisterhood was something that was the deciding factor for me. Council: PHC Major: Marketing with a minor in Legal Studies Why I went Greek: I went Greek because I loved what the organizations stood for, what they did for their community, and the importance they placed on academics and sisterhood.
