 For All Parents Congratulations on becoming a part of the Sooner family. We are excited your son
has chosen the University of Oklahoma and we enthusiastically welcome you. From
academics to many co-curricular activities, I encourage your son to take advantage of
the numerous opportunities OU has to offer.

I invite you and your son to learn more about our outstanding Greek system and to
see first-hand the tradition of leadership and quality our Greek community provides.
Our fraternity chapters promote high standards and strive for all members to seek self-
growth through academics, chapter and community. Becoming a member of a fraternal
organization will be an experience of a lifetime.

I am confident the University of Oklahoma will be a place to provide a challenge

academically and culturally and will provide tools for lifelong success. Choosing to be a
member of a fraternity will enrich the collegiate experience through the dedication and
lifelong devotion this unique membership provides.

We are strongly committed to all of our students. We constantly listen to their needs

have any questions. I look forward to meeting you. Welcome!

 Welcome
PArenT PrOFIle:
Dick and Sharon Rodine

Their sons, Brent and Michael, are both members of Delta Upsilon fraternity.

What is the most valuable benefit you believe your sons have gained from their fraternity
experience at OU? “Two outstanding benefits: 1) exceptional leadership experience through
serving as officers of the fraternity – which has prepared them well for leadership in their careers
after graduation; and 2) a close network of friends that they stay connected with long after
graduation – something that just doesn’t happen outside of the Greek experience.”

What encouraging words/advice would you have for the parents of prospective fraternity members of fall 2009? “Encourage your
son to keep an open mind as he enters recruitment and to look closely at the rapport and camaraderie within an entire chapter. Encourage
him to choose a chapter that feels comfortable to him and one that has an environment and philosophy that will help him mature into a better
man. Encourage your son to meet and get to know the housemom. These can be wonderful people who support them when parents aren’t
able to be there.”

How have you been involved with your sons’ fraternity? “We have served as past president and very active members of the Delta
Upsilon Parents’ Club. Being very active in a fraternity parents’ club is one of the most important things you can do to remain connected
with your son as they continue to mature while in college.”

Parent Session on Move-In Day

All parents, students and guests are invited to attend a Student Affairs Parent
Session and Greek Information Session, beginning at 1 p.m. on Thursday,
Aug. 20. Please come by Dale Hall to enjoy complimentary refreshments and
learn about how Student Affairs contributes to the well-being and involvement
of students at the University of Oklahoma. Immediately following the Student
Affairs Parent Session, fraternity members and OU administrators will host a
Greek Information Session. During this session, the recruitment schedule will
be reviewed and information on OU fraternities will be distributed. Don’t miss
this opportunity to learn what the University of Oklahoma and fraternity life
can offer your son.

The Interfraternity Council
The Interfraternity Council, or IFC, is the umbrella organization
that exists to serve the needs of the 18 fraternities within our
council. The IFC is responsible for the coordination of many events
and activities throughout the year. It also represents fraternity
interests to the campus and surrounding community; facilitates
membership recruitment activities; promotes and coordinates
community service and philanthropy projects; organizes intramural
sports among fraternities; sponsors educational programs and
leadership development opportunities for chapters; initiates public
relations projects for the entire fraternity community; and manages
judicial affairs.
ah
ve l
r s i t y o f Ok
Each of the 18 IFC chapters has one representative on the council
and each chapter pays annual membership dues to the IFC, which
fund IFC’s events and activities. The OU IFC has dedicated itself
to providing the University of Oklahoma’s fraternity men with an
opportunity to be part of one of the nation’s most prestigious and
dynamic fraternity and sorority student life communities.
If you decide to experience fraternity life at the University of
Oklahoma, you are encouraged to get involved with the IFC as an
officer, staff member or volunteer. The council is always looking for
good men with initiative, ideas, a positive attitude and a willingness
to work. You are invited to become part of this award-winning team!

RecRUitment
IFC Fall Recruitment: Saturday, Aug. 22-Wednesday, Aug. 26

Fall Recruitment is the major recruitment period for all IFC fraternities.
Each IFC fraternity at OU looks for individuals who can contribute
to their chapter in a variety of ways. Grades, activities, talents and
interests are all considered individually and together in the selection
of new members. Likewise, fraternities consider whether their group
has something to offer you as a new member. As you go through
recruitment, you will find certain fraternities that you like. After a few
visits, and if the chapter wishes to extend an offer of membership, you
will be offered a chapter bid. This is an invitation to join the fraternity
and should be considered seriously. You may be offered several chapter
bids, so take your time and choose carefully.

Fraternity and Sorority

Student life
The Greek system at the University of Oklahoma began in 1905 when the first
fraternity chapter was established. Many years and thousands of members later,
the Greek community is thriving and now offers numerous national and local
fraternities and sororities. Fraternity and Sorority Student Life consists of the
Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council
and Panhellenic Association. These four groups are the umbrella organizations
that coordinate and oversee all national fraternities and sororities in Fraternity and
Sorority Student Life at OU.

Fraternity and Sorority Student Life, a part of Student Life, is one of the many opportunities for involvement and growth available
for students at the University of Oklahoma. Greek organizations enhance the education of the whole person — intellectually,
socially and spiritually. OU chapters strive to achieve the greatest potential from each member and reach common goals together.
In choosing OU and its Greek community, you are choosing an outstanding school and one of the best Greek communities in the
nation. Fraternity and Sorority Student Life offers opportunities for community service, academic success, leadership, campus
involvement, personal growth and lifelong friendships.

 leadership
The IFC community at the University of Oklahoma is made of leaders. One
of the greatest opportunities in college is the development and application
of leadership skills. Developing and preparing student leaders for life after
college is one of the many goals of OU fraternities. Whether at the chapter
level or beyond, a fraternity will teach, encourage and assist you in the
development and refinement of your leadership skills and the attainment of
your goals.

Every member has an active role in leading the chapter. By learning to

work in a group situation, you will learn such valuable skills as setting goals,
delegating responsibilities, planning activities, solving problems and making
decisions. These skills will set you apart in the future and help you lead a
fulfilling and rewarding life.

If you wish to be involved on campus and desire real-life opportunities to test

your leadership skills, there is no better way than becoming affiliated with a
fraternity at the University of Oklahoma. Fraternity and sorority members are
involved in nearly all of the more than 300 registered student organizations
at OU and can be found on many committees that shape campus life.
Fraternity men and sorority women excel in all aspects of university life.
At OU, to be Greek means to lead.

 Community Service

excellence
One of the most gratifying aspects of fraternity life is the sense of satisfaction and pride that comes with involvement in
community service. Fraternity men recognize the need throughout the year to raise money and donate time for their special
philanthropies and community service projects. The ideals of most fraternities are exemplified through their service efforts.

Fraternity members donate thousands of hours and dollars to local and national philanthropic organizations each year.
Fund-raising events and service projects help fraternity members learn about their responsibility to the community. In
taking advantage of these opportunities, you will learn the joy that comes from giving of yourself to help others.

 Brotherhood
Joining a fraternity is the beginning of a new experience with new friends
and a new home away from home. One of the most enjoyable parts of
joining a fraternity involves making new friends and forming bonds that
will last long after college. You will not only learn to live with others, but
through sharing the same experiences, environment and interests, you will
develop a very special closeness to those around you. Brotherhood means
more than wearing Greek letters, attending meetings and going to parties;
it is about developing friendships and a sense of camaraderie that you will
carry throughout the rest of your life.

Social
Fraternities were founded as social organizations.
The ability to function comfortably in a social
environment will prove almost as important as the
ability to do so in a work environment. Becoming
a member of a group with common interests
provides the opportunity to forge friendships that
will last a lifetime.

Each year, fraternities participate in a wide

variety of social events, including homecoming,
after-game parties, date parties, theme parties
and special spring formals.

 Intramurals

excellence
The intramural program is perhaps one of the most visible and enjoyable
aspects of fraternity life at OU. Even though the intramural program is
open to all students, fraternity and sorority participation and competition
is always the strongest on campus. The fraternities compete against each
other in friendly but intense rivalries. Intramural events are usually well
attended by the Fraternity and Sorority Student Life community, and many
fraternities develop followings of loyal fans. Enthusiasm and excitement
dominate intramural events when Greeks participate! Each sporting event
is an opportunity to gain points toward the coveted All Sports Trophy.

 Fraternity living
Housing
Chapter houses are university-approved housing for upperclassmen*, but are
privately owned and maintained by local or national fraternity alumni house
corporations. Upper-class men may have an obligation to live in the fraternity
house; however, each fraternity establishes its own regulations regarding
members living in or out of the chapter house. Potential members should ask
each fraternity about individual requirements for living in or out of the chapter
house. Each fraternity employs a full-time, live-in house director, sometimes
referred to as a “house mother.” The house director oversees the daily operations
of the chapter house. Each house is inspected annually by the City of Norman
Revitalization Division, Norman Fire Department, University of Oklahoma Fire
Marshal and Cleveland County Health Department to ensure they meet all health
and safety standards. The possession and/or consumption of alcohol on fraternity
property is prohibited. Study halls, dining facilities and workout facilities are a few
of the features you will find in each fraternity house.

Alumni and House Corporations

The structure and organization of chapter alumni varies with each chapter. A
single chapter may have its alumni organized into an “association” that meets
at the chapter house at such times as Homecoming and Commencement.
Other alumni associations meet more regularly and advise the chapter officers
in the day-to-day operations of the chapter. Another type of “association” is
the house corporation — a legal entity that owns and manages the property
of the chapter. These associations make the mortgage payments, pay the
insurance, oversee maintenance and repairs, and pay the employees.

*OU regents’ Housing Policy For

Freshman
All single freshman students who are not 20 years of age, who do not have
at least 24 hours of college credit from an accredited institution (advance
placement or CLEP hours do not apply to this 24-hour requirement), or who
have not lived in the University residence halls for at least two semesters must
live in a University residence hall for the first two semesters. Exception from
this policy is by special permission only, granted in writing by the university vice
president for Student Affairs and dean of students or his/her delegate(s). Special
permissions are granted for a period of one semester only and are subject to
review prior to renewal.

 Finances

excellence
Financial requirements are an important consideration for men participating in fraternity recruitment. If you accept an invitation
to become a pledge or an associate, you will enter into a financial agreement and contract for housing and dues during your
college years.

Dues and fees vary for each chapter and from year to year. It is important to note that fraternity costs may be more expensive
the first year due to additional pledge and initiation fees. It also is important to be aware that some additional costs may arise
throughout the year, such as T-shirts, party favors and pictures. If you have any questions about finances, please do not hesitate to
ask fraternity members or contact the Fraternity and Sorority Student Life Office at (405) 325-4029.

It is important also to note that chapters may or may not assess additional fees during the year to cover costs for special events
or projects. This may be an important topic for you to consider when visiting chapters during recruitment.
