UGA Fraternity Recruitment Guide 2011

Dear University of Georgia Student:

Welcome to The University of Georgia! As a member of one of UGA’s fraternities, you will have the opportunity to continue a strong legacy of leadership, scholarship, and philanthropic stewardship. Students who have participated in Greek life at UGA have traditionally been among our most involved and successful students. Those students have taken what they have learned from their UGA experiences and distinguished themselves as governors, senators, corporate CEO’s, entertainment moguls, professional athletes, scientists, authors, artists, movie stars and teachers. Fraternities produce student leaders and scholars who excel both in and out of the classroom, who impact the lives of others through charitable and community service, and who help young men form friendships that often last a lifetime.

These opportunities, however, come with an awesome responsibility - the responsibility to conduct yourself in a manner befitting a UGA student and a good citizen of this entire University community. Your fellow students, your alumni, the faculty, staff and the administration will expect you to serve as a role model, a leader, and a catalyst for positive growth in everything that you do. You will be counted on to help shape a culture that fosters ownership and accountability for your actions and holds peers accountable for their behavior, as well.

I applaud you for taking full advantage of this opportunity for personal, intellectual, social, and scholastic development. Participation in Greek Life will surely be one of the many ways in which you will enrich your collegiate experience. I wish you continued success in all your endeavors, and I look forward to celebrating with you your successes at the University of Georgia.

Sincerely,

Michael F. AdamsPresident

The Interfraternity Council is a self-governing body representing the twenty-five member fraternities at the University of Georgia. Consisting of two members and the president of each fraternity, the IFC strives to promote excellence in all aspects of fraternity life and academic pursuits.

The internal committees of the IFC are responsible for

community service, public relations, recruitment, scholarship, judicial and chapter program development. The IFC requires all new members to attend educational seminars covering topics such as hazing, drugs and alcohol, sexual assault prevention, diversity, and character development. The IFC awards approximately $5,000 in scholarships annually to outstanding Greek men. In addition, the IFC requires its fraternities to achieve a 2.9 chapter grade point average in order to have social privileges.

Each fraternity has one vote on issues and proposals brought before the Council. Each member of the IFC is offered the

opportunity to serve on a committee, and he assumes the responsibility of being the primary communication link between the Council and his chapter. The IFC is guided by the Advisor to the Interfraternity Council, who is an experienced full-time administrator in the Greek Life Office.

Interfraternity Council The UGA Greek Community

The Interfraternity Council constitutes only a fourth of the Greek community at UGA. Included in the community are the Panhellenic, National Pan-Hellenic, and Multicultural Greek Councils and their member organizations.

The Panhellenic Council, made up of 17 sororities, is responsible for making policies, planning recruitment, promoting academic excellence, and planning other activities involving sororities. Panhellenic has its own executive board comprised of members from various organizations.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is made up of four sororities and four fraternities. The NPHC provides unity among the traditionally African-American sororities and fraternities on the UGA campus. Like Panhellenic and IFC, the NPHC has its own executive board and is responsible for implementing policies, procedures and events concerning its member groups.

The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) is made up of six sororities and five fraternities. The MGC is made up of Asian-interest and Latin(o/a)-interest groups. MGC works to increase awareness of their respective cultures, serves the Athens community, and maintains high academic standards.

If you would like additional information about these councils, please contact the Greek Life Office at 706-542-4612 or visit www.uga.edu/greeklife.

What is a fraternity?A fraternity is a group of men working together toward common

goals and issues. Fraternities strive to develop their members’ indi-vidual talents and skills to better prepare them for life after graduation.

What is Fraternity Recruitment?Recruitment, also known as “Rush,” is the activity by which fraterni-

ties seek new members. Fall recruitment consists of three structured days that include an orientation meeting and visitation to each chapter house to meet members and learn more about fraternity life.

After visiting each chapter, potential new members are free to visit any of the chapters for the next two days. Invitations (bids) to join a fraternity can be given out any time during the recruitment period.

What is a bid?A bid is an invitation to join a fraternity. Bids may be extended to

a potential new member after the fraternity has gotten to know him. Potential new members should not feel pressured or obligated to accept a bid. Potential new members may receive numerous bids from different fraternities but can only accept one. Potential new members are encouraged to meet as many fraternity men as possible and should not concentrate on obtaining a bid from a single fraternity. Rushing more than one fraternity allows a potential new member to meet many new people during the recruitment process, even if he does not receive or accept a bid from a group.

These are average numbers. Each fraternity will have its exact costs that can be provided upon request.

Do I need a recommendation to join a fraternity?Fraternities generally do not require any recommendations. However, if recommenda-

tions are solicited, they should be sent to the chapter house or the Greek Life Office

How much does a fraternity cost?The cost of fraternity dues and fees vary from chapter to chapter. Chapter dues are

used to help maintain the chapter house, pay yearly insurance, for national fees and services, assist with philanthropy/community service projects, fraternity leadership schools, go toward academic scholarships, and help in defraying the costs of alumni, parent, and social events. For Spring 2011, average costs are as follows:

If I go through recruitment, do I have to join a fraternity?Although approximately 86% of potential new members will join a fraternity during

the fall semester, it is not required. Many fraternities will be a part of another round of recruitment in January, and you may have the opportunity to join then as well.

What type of clothing should I wear during recruitment?Individuals going through recruitment generally wear casual, khaki-type pants or

shorts and a polo-type shirt. No suits or ties are required during recruitment.

Should I attend a summer recruitment event? Individuals going through recruitment are not required to attend any events prior

to Tuesday, August 9, 2011. All summer recruitment events must be registered with the Greek Life Office and follow social event policies and recruitment rules. Over-night summer recruitment events (ex: beach weekends, lake weekends, etc) are not permitted by the Interfraternity Council or the Greek Life Office.

What if you are participating in the Freshman College Summer Experience or have other academic commitments?

Academic commitments and the Freshman College’s Summer Experience require-ments may conflict with some summer recruitment events. Fraternities stress academic achievement and therefore, it is very important that potential new members honor all academic commitments. It is imperative that potential new members not miss any academic requirement or Freshman College Summer Experience commitment in order to attend a recruitment event. Please contact Greek Life (706-542-4612) with any questions related to academic conflicts associated with recruitment.

Academics

Fraternities at the University of Georgia realize that excelling in academics is the top priority for all students. The grade point average of each fraternity is ranked, published, and available to anyone who seeks it. Fraternity life offers a wide variety of academic advantages including tutoring programs, peer advisement, and in-house study hours. Fraternity members also have the opportunity to receive approximately $5,000 in IFC scholarships, a multitude of chapter scholarships, individual and chapter academic awards, and numerous scholarships and awards from their international organizations.

consecutive number of years fraternities finished with an over-all higher gpa than the University male average

Leadership

The University of Georgia fraternity system is dedicated to building future leaders by providing numerous leadership opportunities. Campus leaders include men involved in Tate Society, Arch Society, Student Government, Varsity Athletics, and Student Judiciary. Greek men are also recognized in honor societies such as Order of Omega, Gridiron, Omicron Delta Kappa, Order of the Greek Horsemen, and Sphinx. Brotherhood

Greek fraternities were founded as a network of support for men who were going through similar experiences. The fraternity is a great way to enhance the general college experience through brotherhood and friendship. Brotherhood means building bonds between members of the Greek community and working towards the shared goal of a better campus for all. Some of the best friends one will ever make are fellow fraternity brothers and other members of the Greek community.

Community Service

One of the founding principles of every fraternity is giving of yourself in service to the community. Thousands of dollars are raised and over 25,000 hours of service are performed by fraternity men each year in such activities as ugaMiracle, UGA HERO, Relay for Life, Adopt-a-Highway, tutoring Athens area students, volunteering at the homeless shelter, local Boy’s and Girl’s Club, and two local hospitals.

Social Life

Social life is a visible portion of Greek life that is excellent for acclimating students to the University. Fraternities are very busy with homecoming, alumni weekends, parents weekends, formals, and date nights. Fraternities also host band parties, thematic weekends, socials and dinners.

Social events give the fraternity man an opportunity to meet new and exciting people while building life-long friendships.

Intramurals

Intramurals are a very exciting aspect of fraternity life. Although open to all students, the strongest competition is among Greek organizations. Apart from UGA intramurals, fraternity men also participate in philanthropic and interfraternity sporting events. Athletics prove to be important physical and mental outlets for students and help improve self-confidence and develop teamwork. Through competition, intramurals continue to help build brotherhood and school spirit at UGA.

Alumni

Brotherhood continues throughout life as one enters into alumni status. Fraternity alumni are considerably the most loyal of all Bulldogs, both to the University and to their Greek peers. Alumni enjoy returning to Athens and visiting the University and their chapter house. Through alumni, the fraternity network extends across the world and is helpful in gaining employment or when relocating to a new area.

Social Responsibility

Fraternities offer a wide range of social activities and programs for their members. Fraternities have also taken responsibility by utilizing risk management procedures to decrease the possibility of accidents at their events. Each chapter follows a social policy developed by its national organization in addition to the policies of the Interfraternity Council and the University. The IFC is committed to helping the fraternities maintain a safe and responsible environment that contributes to the life-long friendships unique to the Greek community.

Dry Recruitment

No one in any way connected to the fraternity may serve or partake of alcohol or other illegal substances in the presence of a potential new member. No potential new member may be in possession of alcohol at any time during the recruitment period. Any potential new member violating the recruitment rules is subject to suspension from rush and will not be allowed to join a fraternity.

Alcohol

Each chapter maintains a responsible social policy that promotes enjoyable social activities in a safe environment. The University also has a closed party policy that opposes the misuse of alcohol and maintains that all chapters, individual members, and guests must abide by state and local laws and University regulations. All chapters work to educate and foster a better understanding of social responsibility and alcohol education for their members. The IFC is committed to helping organizations maintain balanced social programs that contribute to personal development and do not detract from the University’s educational mission.

Diversity

The Greek Community at the University of Georgia is comprised of a diverse group of individuals coming together to work for a common goal. The IFC is committed to educating its members about the value of living in a multicultural society. The Greek community sponsors a variety programs to educate their members on diversity issues.


Social Responsibility UGA Hazing PolicyHazing is defined as any intentional, negligent or reckless action, or situation-which causes another pain, embarrassment, ridicule or harassment, regardless of the willingness of the participant. Such actions and situations include, but are not limited to the following:

1. forcing or requiring the drinking of alcohol or any other substance;

2. Forcing or requiring the eating of food or anything an individual refuses to eat;

3. calisthenics (push-ups, sit-ups, jogging, runs, etc.);

4. “treeings” (tying someone up and throwing food or other substances on/at them);

5. paddle swats;6. line-ups (yelling at people in any formation

or harassing them);7. forcing or requiring the theft of any

property;8. road trips (dropping someone off to find

12. nudity at any time;

13. running personal errands of the members (driving to class, cleaning their individual rooms, serving meals, picking up laundry, washing cars, etc.);

14. requiring the violation of University, Federal, State or local law.

Hazing in any manner is prohibited. Fraternities at UGA expect their members to strive for academic achievement, demonstrate responsible citizenship, show concern for the rights and needs of others, and provide leadership. Hazing has no place in fraternity life and is completely contrary to the ideals on which fraternities were founded.

All members of the University community share the responsibility to challenge and make known to the University or the Interfraternity Council any acts that appear to be hazing. There are a number of ways to report incidents of possible hazing. You may report such activity to the IFC, the Greek Life Office at (706) 542-4612, or the Hazing Hotline at (706) 207-0779. You do not have to identify yourself at any time.

Dear University of Georgia Student,

On behalf of the Interfraternity Council, I would like to personally congratulate you on being accepted into the University of Georgia. At over 225 years old, UGA is full of traditions of excellence. You will find that the Greek community is one of these great traditions.

Welcome to the process of fraternity recruitment. During this process, you will have the opportunity to participate in many recruitment events with many different fraternities. With 25 chapters, we truly believe that there is a fraternity for you! Use the recruitment process to get to know multiple fraternities and find one that is the best fit for you.

You have made a great decision in taking the initial step in joining a fraternity. There are thousands of active brothers and alumni alike that will attest to this being one of the greatest decisions that they have ever made. The Greek system affords so many opportunities to better oneself and is second to none in making leaders out of young men.

Again on behalf of the IFC, I would like to congratulate you on being accepted to UGA. If you choose to join a fraternity, you will join the ranks of men who have bettered themselves by always striving to live the high values of their fraternity. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact either myself or Andy Monk, our Vice President of Recruitment.

Sincerely,

Ross DoellingIFC President
