Greek Life at UAF
Sigma Sigma Sigma became the first national
sorority in Alaska when it was installed at UAF in 1993. Founded in 1898, the sorority has more than 90,000 members nationwide who share a strong commitment to sisterhood, academics and community service as part of the college experience. Sorority membership provides Sigmas with academic support and leadership opportunities.
Sigma Phi
Epsilon, the first national fraternity in Alaska, was installed at UAF in 1997. The fraternity began nationally in 1901, founded on the principles of virtue, diligence and brotherly love. It is one of the oldest and most respected fraternities in the nation. Through community service, campus leadership and fraternalism, Sigma Phi Epsilon gives its members the opportunity to live a balanced life.
Alpha Phi Omega is a nati
onal, co-ed service fraternity that has set the standard for college campus-based volunteerism since 1925. The organization strives to help each individual member develop leadership skills, experience friendship on many levels and provide service to others.
For more information on Sigma Sigma Sigma, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Alpha Phi Omega, visit us online at www.uaf.edu/studentorgs/ or contact the LIVE Program (Leadership, Involvement, Volunteer Experience) at 907-474-1959.
Clubs must follow the guidelines as provided by the LIVE (Leadership, Involvement & Volunteer Experience) Office in order to be recognized by the University. These regulations can be located here.
Active participation in these clubs is not key to academic success, but is a tool readily available to all students who wish to expand their horizon.
As President of the Alaska Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon, an ASUAF Senator, and member of two other student organizations I personally like to stress the benefit that participating in student organizations has on a student.
On behalf of these and other student organizations I hope to extend an open hand to all new and returning students attending classes this Fall.
