Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life at UPenn Greek Book

IT STARTS SOMEWHERE. IT STARTS WITH YOU.

WELCOME

TO OUR COMMUNITY

When we work together, fraternities and sororities can give students powerful voices to catalyze change.

We uphold high standards of integrity and respect, promote inclusion, and provide service to make a difference in the community.

TOGETHER, GREEK STUDENTS AND STAFF DRAFTED A COMMUNITY

PHILOSOPHY BUILT ON FIVE CONCEPTS WE CALL OUR PILLARS:

RELATIONSHIPS IMPACT COMPASS FOUNDATION VANGUARD

We are the forward-thinking leaders of the fraternity and sorority community at Penn, and we’re here to reinvent what it means to be Greek.

Our maverick approach to a centuries-old tradition heralds a new age of progressive thought — and action — on campus.

The first Greek organization at Penn was established in 1849. Sororities and fraternities everywhere are steeped in origin rituals, which provide the architecture for traditions and present-day structure.

Our organizations provide a foundation of transformational leadership that today centers on holistic education and experiential learning.

We’re guided from foundation to the forefront by our values and ethics.When we take the helm, we aim our sights high and map out our goals.

We navigate the challenges that cross our path, and if we don’t make it to our destination, we take our bearings, and choose a new direction.

From the start, we were designed to forge strong and authentic relationships.Today those connections span beyond our brothers and sisters, to the campus community to provide a supportive network of resources.

The importance we place on these relationships, and the accessible, inclusive spaces those partnerships create, are what make us grow — together.

We are a community with a cause, motivating our members to take the reins and implement change through service and philanthropy. Each year we welcome a new class of students to our Greek community, where we encourage them to harness their energy and passion, and provide them with the support system they need to positively influence the campus culture and local community.

LET’S GET STARTED.

FOR NPHC ORGANIZATIONS, STEP SHOWS SERVE AS A CATALYST TOWARD A MORE DIVERSE COMMUNITY … STEP SHOWS ARE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SMALLER ORGANIZATIONS TO BE HEARD AND SEEN ON CAMPUS. HOLISTICALLY, STEPPING IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT ALLOWS GREEK ORGANIZATIONS TO SHOW PRIDE AND SPIRIT IN THEIR FRATERNITY OR SORORITY.

CARL LEACOCK

Coinciding with the annual Penn Relays, Yardfest and Step Show Weekend at Penn have long served as a second homecoming for Intercultural Greek Council members (IGC). The Step Show Committee, comprised of students in IGC, is responsible for organizing the fraternity and sorority-related events for the weekend: Yardfest, a stroll competition; Step Show, a stepping competition; and Service Day, an event for all IGC members to give back to the greater Philadelphia community.

The competitions are open to the public and hundreds of students, alumni/ae, and Philadelphians gather together to watch the performances.

THE PRACTICES OF STROLLING AND STEPPING ORIGINATE FROM AFRICAN TRADITIONS.

STROLLING FUNCTIONS BY MEMBERS USING CHOREOGRAPHED MOVEMENTS AND DANCES TO EXPRESS UNITY AND CREATIVITY; THE MOVEMENTS TAKE THE FORM OF A LINE OR A CIRCLE WHICH SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN.

STEPPING IS AN ART FORM IN WHICH GROUPS USE SYNCHRONIZED FEET AND HAND MOVEMENTS, CHANTS, AND SONGS IN A PERCUSSIVE RHYTHM TO EXPRESS COHESION, ALLEGIANCE, AND PRIDE.

KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY, INC.

STEPPING AND STROLLING BECAME PROMINENT IN BLACK GREEK LETTER ORGANIZATIONS (BGLOS)

IN THE MID-TWENTIETH CENTURY, AND THEY NOW FORM THE BASIS OF THE OFFICE OF FRATERNITY & SORORITY LIFE’S LARGEST STUDENT-RUN EVENT OF THE YEAR.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION BOARD

OFSL’s Diversity and Inclusion Board (DIB) is a cross-council initiative to address and ameliorate issues of diversity and inclusion in Penn’s Greek community. Through educational programing, DIB aims to improve the Penn Greek community’s knowledge of what constitutes diversity, increase representation of marginalized communities across the system, and facilitate allyship in Greek spaces.

DIB exists to help Greek leaders and members make diversity and inclusion a priority in rush, at philanthropy events, and through social endeavors. Key initiatives include an annual cultural competency workshop, campus collaborations, and topical workshops that address how fraternities and sororities can emphasize and celebrate identity experience or representation.

I HELPED ESTABLISH THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION BOARD TO CREATE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT BIASES, PRIVILEGE, AND UNEQUAL POWER STRUCTURES SO THAT ALL STUDENTS, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE IN GREEK LIFE, CAN HAVE A SAFER AND HEALTHIER SOCIAL EXPERIENCE AT PENN.

ADVISING

The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life emphasizes the value and provision of multifaceted, individualized advising to members, chapters, and councils. Our Associate Directors, Programming Assistant, and Graduate Assistants are annually assigned a cohort of chapters from each governing council. These “OFSL Advisors” are the primary administrative point of contact for organizations. Advisors provide essential support on programs and risk reduction to chapter leaders.

OUR PHILOSOPHY FOR AN OPTIMAL FRATERNAL EXPERIENCE OCCURS THROUGH AN ACTIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH:

• chapter and council leadership;

• alumni/ae members through advisory boards and house corporations;

• inter/national headquarters;

• the University of Pennsylvania, through collaboration with its many offices and resources

THIS DEDICATED NETWORK PROVIDES STRONG, CONSISTENT MESSAGING AND SUPPORT FOR UNDERGRADUATE CHAPTER MEMBERS AND LEADERS.

OLIVIA FARKAS

Graduate Assistant for Organizational Development

Our Greek students are some of the most driven, ambitious, and kind-hearted individuals on this campus. They see where fraternity and sorority life is heading and work incessantly to ensure this community continues to thrive in good light. Every retreat, workshop, meeting, and individual encounter with our Greek students shows me an entirely new and genuine facet of this community. They never fail to inspire, challenge, and remind me why working in this field is so valuable and special.

OFSL UNIVERSITY ADVISORS PROGRAM

University Advisors are Penn faculty or staff members who offer an additional layer of chapter support through relationships with Greek members, alumni, and other constituency groups. University Advisors complement the support members receive from OFSL staff.

UNIVERSITY ADVISORS OFFER GUIDANCE THAT IS MORE CO-CURRICULAR, ACADEMIC, AND COMMUNITY-BASED.

University Advisors represent departments and offices across Penn, including:

• The Center for Hispanic Excellence: La Casa Latina

• College Housing & Academic Services

• Graduate School of Education

• New Student Orientation & Academic Initiatives

• Office of Undergraduate Admissions

• Pan-Asian American Community House

“WORKING TOGETHER HAS ALLOWED US TO DISCOVER OUR UNWAVERING PASSION FOR DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING, INNOVATIVE IDEAS, RESOURCE SHARING AND PROVIDING SERVICE TO THE PENN COMMUNITY. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE START OF A POWERHOUSE COLLABORATION AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE MANY CONTRIBUTIONS THE PSI CHAPTER WILL BRING TO MY FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS IN HILL COLLEGE HOUSE, THE PENN COMMUNITY, AND THE GREATER CITY OF PHILADELPHIA.”

UNIVERSITY ADVISORS

“BEING A UNIVERSITY ADVISOR TO A GREEK ORGANIZATION IS A UNIQUE WAY TO CONNECT WITH UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. THE RELATIONSHIP IS DIFFERENT FROM BEING THEIR PROFESSOR, ACADEMIC ADVISOR, OR PARENT. I SEE THE PURPOSE OF THE ROLE AS PRIMARILY HELPING TO DEVELOP THEIR LEADERSHIP AND CHARACTER, CHEERING THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AND GENTLY ADMONISHING THEIR MISTAKES WHILE USING THEM AS TEACHABLE MOMENTS. AS ONE BROTHER OF PHI KAPPA PSI PUT IT, ‘YOU ARE KIND OF LIKE THE COOL AUNT!’ YES, I AM KIND OF LIKE THE COOL AUNT…A ROLE THAT I CHERISH.”

DR. AMY BENEDICT

UNIVERSITY ADVISOR TO PHI KAPPA PSI FRATERNITY, INC.

THE FRIENDSHIPS THAT YOU MAKE THROUGH GREEK LIFE CAN GO BEYOND THE SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP. THEY ARE YOUR IMMEDIATE STUDY GROUPS AND ACADEMIC SUPPORT RESOURCES—

PEOPLE YOU CAN TRUST WHO CAN HELP YOU THROUGH SOME OF THE TOUGHEST ACADEMIC CHALLENGES YOU WILL FACE.

DR. S. SONYA GWAK DIRECTOR OF STUDENT LIFE AND UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING & APPLIED SCIENCES

THIS PAST SEMESTER I STRUGGLED QUITE A BIT IN A COUPLE OF MY CLASSES AND LUCKILY I HAD OLDER MEMBERS AND ALUMNI WHO WERE ABLE TO SEND ME NOTES AND HELP ME OUT WHERE I WAS STUCK. I ENDED UP GETTING AN A- IN THE CLASS WHICH REALLY FELT GREAT!

EVER SINCE I JOINED ELMO, THE MEMBERSHIP HAS BEEN AN INVALUABLE RESOURCE OF GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT, WHETHER IN ACADEMIC OR PERSONAL MATTERS. WE HAVE MOST OF THE SCHOOLS REPRESENTED IN THE HOUSE WITH A DIVERSE RANGE OF MAJORS AND MINORS, SO THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE OLDER TO ASK FOR ADVICE.
