VICE PRESIDENT OF STUDENT AFFAIRS Greetings to our fellow Greeks and Friends, Thank you for supporting Greek Life.

New Greek Members: Greek Life has so much to offer. Take advantage of the opportunities to increase your academic portfolio as a Greek member. Last year, we challenged each of you to submit a plan to assist with fundraising efforts to Level Up funds for the Greek Village.

This project is gaining momentum, so please continue to give. Our Greek members continue to perform academically, providing programs and services for our campus and communities in need.

This year we will create and design programs and services that will coincide with the University's Strategic Plan and the Core Competencies shared by the UL System Office: • Communication • Adaptable Resilience • Critical and Creative Problem Solving • Cultural Competition • Self-Reflection

The three pillars of focus from the Strategic Plan will include student success, intellectual activity, and community engagement. We welcome any input from you as we enhance frameworks to mirror the core competencies and pillars. If I can assist any of you or your organization, please let me know. My office number is 318-342-5215.

Dr. Valerie S. Fields

Warmest Regards,

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

GREEK LIFE STAFF Adrienne Drago Coordinator of Greek Life Alpha Omicron Pi Being a member of the ULM Greek Community is both an honor and a responsibility. I knew that before making the incredible decision to serve as the Greek Life coordinator. My favorite time of the year is recruitment because it means more students are joining our growing community. This means that more students will get to experience the opportunity to connect with individuals who share the same values, on how inspiring it is to serve beyond the community, and how impactful this experience is during a student's collegiate years and beyond. Our Greek Life team is here to support all fraternity and sorority Warhawks, and are excited for you to embark on your journey in Greek life at ULM!

J’Lon Prosser Greek Life Graduate Assistant Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc Being a member of the ULM Greek life community has allowed me to express myself to others and become the leader that I am today. I became Greek during my freshman year, opening up many doors to leadership opportunities, connections on campus, lifelong friendships, and brothers who will always be there for me every step of the way. To all the future Warhawks make sure you get involved and enjoy the next four years!!!!

BROTHERHOOD & SISTERHOOD Greek life is an experience that one never forgets. Students find that their chapter members will have similar goals, values, and ideals. Having these things in common with the organization provides a sense of acceptance and belonging. Brothers and sisters will be there to share the college experience and stay close for years to come.

One of the most important aspects of joining a fraternity or sorority is the bond of brotherhood and sisterhood. There is a sense of unity and friendship among members of each chapter, as well as a feeling of Greek unity on campus.

The recruitment process introduces students to individuals who share common interests and form a cohesive group. It's often said, “Friendships developed in college will last a lifetime.”

ULM recognizes fifteen Greek organizations — four fraternities within the Interfraternity Council, three sororities within the College Panhellenic Conference, and eight sororities and fraternities within the National PanHellenic Council — each of which is a campus chapter of a national group. Regardless of the fraternity or sorority a student chooses, membership in a Greek organization will enhance the collegiate experience. ULM’s Greek community invites all students interested in joining a fraternity or sorority to participate in the membership recruitment or membership intake process. Dates of these events are available in the Greek Life office and on the Greek Life website.

BECOMING A STEP ONE: Greekish NEW MEMBER

Any student interested in NPHC Greek Life should attend the mandatory Greek-ish event.

This event is compulsory for all students planning to participate in the intake process. Greek-ish is an amazing opportunity for students who are interested in learning more about NPHC fraternities and sororities at ULM. Greek-ish will take place once in both the fall and spring semesters. During this event, you will be given a document regarding hazing. The Greek Life office must have this document signed and on file.

STEP TWO: Lookout NPHC organizations at ULM recruit members through a process called Membership Intake.

NPHC fraternities and sororities will individually announce their membership selection/intake process during the semester and will explain their membership process at the initial informational meeting. NPHC organizations decide on having intake each semester and there is no guarantee that intake will take place on a regular schedule. It is highly recommended that interested students research each fraternity or sorority carefully and attend events sponsored by the respective chapters and NPHC as a whole.

STEP THREE: Membership Intake Generally, the membership intake process begins with an informational meeting. At the informational meeting, interested students learn more about a specific organization and the details of the application process for that organization. After the informational meetings, potential members or aspirants are asked to complete a membership application and show proof that they have achieved the organization's minimum standards for academics, community service, and leadership. Following the submission of an application, interviews, and selections will take place.

ALPHA OMICRON PI LAMBDA TAU CHAPTER Alpha Omicron Pi was founded on the ideals of character, dignity, scholarship, and college loyalty. All members of the Fraternity, collegiate and alumnae, are expected to live these values to the fullest and carry the spirit of AOII into the world around them. Whether you meet an AOII in class, throughout recruitment, off campus, or even after graduation, she is sure to bring light to your life. Members of the Fraternity are called to carry themselves with confidence as they represent our organization and treat everyone they meet with the utmost respect. AOII encourages all members to excel academically and has many programs designed to assist women in achieving their academic goals.

Expectations are high but the support provided by scholarship programs, academic development officer resources, and fellow members makes success attainable. The emphasis on these pursuits was instilled by the four founding members of AOII in 1897, and this commitment remains a strong part of AOII today. Members of AOII are also called to not only serve their chapters and the Fraternity as a whole, but also to be of service to their communities and universities. Whether they are raising money for the Arthritis Foundations representing the chapter on Homecoming or Mardi Gras Court, serving as a Student Government Senator, or acting as a CAB Officer, our members are excelling as leaders on their college campuses and far beyond.

KAPPA ALPHA ORDER GAMMA NU CHAPTER We are the Gamma Nu Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order. Kappa Alpha Order (commonly known as Kappa Alpha, KA, or "the Order") is a social fraternity and fraternal order. The Order has more than 150,000 initiated members. The members of Kappa Alpha Order pride themselves on a tradition of chivalry and of the values of the gentleman such as REVERENCE - God and women, GENTILITY - chivalry and respect for all, KNOWLEDGE - Continuous lifelong learning, LEADERSHIP - development of character, BROTHERHOOD - faithful unto death, and EXCELLENCE - always aiming higher. This is reminiscent of a romanticized version of the Knights of the Crusades.

This all culminates into a modern college fraternal experience. A member of the Kappa Alpha Order strives to offer reverence to both God and women, as described in the motto. Further, the idea that "Excellence is our Aim" further emboldens members to always apply themselves to self-improvement, realizing that you should always continue to strive for excellence. Finally, being that the organization is an Order, members typically have an idea of the above values before joining. Kappa Alpha does not intend to change anyone, but rather bond together those men who have similar values so that they may experience brotherhood, and pursue improvement, with one another.

In Northeast Louisiana the ULM Pikes assist the Ronald McDonald House, Munchkin Market, Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Day, Krewe of Janus, Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo and more donating our time to those in need. On campus you will find Pikes on the PREP Staff, SGA, 31 Ambassadors, PPO, PDC, honor societies and more. We have an outstanding social calendar which is balanced with our brothers academic responsibilities. Our fraternity has been internationally recognized as one of the top Pike Chapters in North America for 29 of the last 33 years and we expect the 24-25 ULM year to bring the same outstanding results.

Scholars, Leaders, Athletes and Gentlemen – this is Pi Kappa Alpha.

KAPPA SIGMA THETA CHI CHAPTER Kappa Sigma of ULM was chartered on May 6th, 1967 under the four pillars of Fellowship, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service. We first look to establish a brotherhood of exceptional men that will not last for a day, or an hour, or a college term only, but for life.

Secondly, we promote Leadership throughout campus.

Our brothers excel in their professional programs, Student Government Association, PREP Staff, Hawkseekers, religious groups, and other programs on campus and in the community. We believe that Scholarship is the key to success. We hold our brothers accountable for their grades and look to promote success in their journey as undergraduate students. Lastly, we take great pride in our Service to the community. Two of our larger philanthropies include the Military Heroes Campaign, a philanthropic organization founded by Kappa Sigma in 2007 to support military veterans and their families, and our annual Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation fundraiser. Whether it be working in our community or working from home during the shutdown, the men of Kappa Sigma work hard on bettering the campus and community under the firm belief that you cannot quarantine brotherhood.
