Scholarship

Academics are central to the college experience and strive to provide opportunities for our members to excel in the classroom. As a fraternity and sorority community, we frequently attain a community GPA higher than the average Rollins undergraduate GPA.

Brotherhood/Sisterhood

The relationships that are developed in fraternities and sororities will last a lifetime, not just four years. Our chapters strive to provide a home away from home for their members. Fraternity or sorority membership instantly connects you to thousands of people (including alumni/ae).

Leadership

Leadership can be learned in fraternities and sororities by serving on chapter and council executive boards, leading committees, or even planning an event. In addition, many of our chapters provide funding to attend regional and national leadership conferences.

COMMUNITY VALUESPhilanthropy & Service

Each chapter gives back to their individual philanthropies annually, in addition to supporting philanthropies of other fraternities and sororities, and campus-wide initiatives. Many chapters will also organize service opportunities and immersion trips for its members.

Learning

We are committed to providing members with professional development opportunities and teaching them about health and safety issues such as driving under the influence, sexual assault, hazing and bystander intervention, as well as the importance of responsibility while drinking. Fraternity & Sorority Life and individual chapters will host educational workshops on these various topics.

New Member Education A program in which new members learn the ideals and values of their respective fraternity or sorority. Each chapter’s time frame varies but is usually six to eight weeks.

Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) The term used to refer to the fraternity and sorority community which consist of all recognized local and inter/national chapters.

North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) The trade association representing 75 inter/national Men’s Fraternities.

Page 8: Fraternity & Sorority Life at Rollins College

TRADITIONSGreek Week Fraternities and sororities are paired together to compete in various events throughout the week while celebrating our values of brotherhood/sisterhood, philanthropy, and learning. Staple events include: tug-o-war, bill battle, dodge ball, and The Cook Off. We also attend the Career Expo and a workshop focused on how to better communicate the leadership skills we learn through our participation in our organization. Overall, this is the largest and most fun event in the spring semester for fraternity men and sorority women!

FSL Mixers As social Greek lettered organizations, we pride ourselves on the strength of our inter-fraternal relationships. One way we foster community is by having socials once a month! Every fraternity/sorority has a mixer with another chapter on the same night. These mixers range from cookouts on campus to go-karting!

TARS Tailgates Each semester the fraternity and sorority community picks one athletic event per semester to cookout before the game. We grill food for the entire Rollins community, in hopes that this will support our fellow Tars. This is a time to enjoy free food, play lawn games, and socialize. All are welcome.

National Hazing Prevention Week (NHPW) Is a week of intentional education centered upon hazing prevention for the entire campus. Students join together with faculty and staff throughout the college to reinforce what being in community means while pledging to abolish hazing from the larger Rollins community. The college and FSL team have worked diligently to educate the community on the harms and negative impacts these behaviors have on each chapter, and more importantly, each individual. Rollins College has a zero tolerance for any behavior that exhibits and promotes hazing in any organization

New Member Institute Is a weekend immersive experience during the beginning of the fall semester that all new members are required to attend. This is an important experience when joining the FSL community because it brings all new members together to provide insight on how the governing councils (Panhellenic and IFC) work and educates new members on values based recruiting practices through the use of social excellence.

Deferred Recruitment

Because Rollins believes in a successful transition to college life focused on academics first, our campus hosts what is known as deferred recruitment. Our formal recruitment process is during the first few weeks of the spring semester, which means first-year students cannot join a fraternity or sorority until their second semester. This provides the opportunity for first-year students participating in recruitment to become accustomed to college classes, get involved in other activities, and make friends outside of their own chapters. Deferred recruitment also provides a better acquaintance with the commitments and meaning of fraternity or sorority membership prior to joining.

Informal or Open Recruitment

Informal or open recruitment usually takes place in the fall semester and is only an option for second year students. Information regarding informal recruitment events, if held by any chapters, will be advertised by those chapters individually at those times.

This form of recruiting new members for the sororities is not always guaranteed. In order to maintain a healthy sorority community, the Panhellenic Council (CPC) determines a total membership cap each year, which is the maximum chapter size. If a chapter is able to increase membership without exceeding total, the chapter may elect to host an informal or open recruitment event to possibly extend bids of membership to eligible potential new members.

The fraternities do not have these same limitations placed on them, so they can hold informal or open recruitment anytime they wish. The Interfraternity Council (IFC) believes friendship leads to membership. To effectively employ that as a strategy, fraternities pursue a recruitment model based on an unrestricted, year-round commitment to actively seeking prospective members who share a commitment to the fraternal values of scholarship, leadership and service.

General Information

• Both men and women’s recruitment requires participants to register.

• On campus housing is available for some organizations. Please check with each fraternity and sorority for more specific information.

• The best advice for recruitment is to be yourself, have fun, and have an open mind.

SORORITY RECRUITMENTCollege Panhellenic Council (CPC)

College Panhellenic Council (CPC) is the governing body responsible for the direction and maintenance of all six women’s fraternal organizations recognized by Rollins, including our local and NPHC chapter. The council is responsible for the implementation of educational programming, academic support, formal sorority recruitment, leadership development initiatives, and philanthropic and service efforts.

How does the selection process work?

The first day you will be able to visit all the sororities, the second day you can visit a maximum of four sororities, and the third day you can visit a maximum of two sororities. At the end of each of these nights you will log into a confidential computer program in which your preferences will be submitted for the mutual selection process. You will essentially rank the sororities you love and the sororities you like. You can get invited back to

sororities you listed as love and sororities you listed as like. On the most exciting and last day of recruitment, Bid Day, you will find out which sorority offered you a bid. If you accept the bid, you will then be led to spend the rest of Sunday with your new sisters!

Sorority Formal Recruitment

Formal Recruitment is a fun and exciting process that enables the fairest opportunities for interaction between sorority women and potential new members (PNMs). During the week of recruitment you will get to visit each sorority at least once. Each chapter hosts nightly events throughout the first three days, at which they provide information about themselves and get to know you better.

Below is how the week will work:

• Philanthropy Night (Thursday) You will have the opportunity to visit each sorority for 30 minutes.

• Skit Night (Friday) You will have the opportunity to visit up to four chapters for 45 minutes each.

• Preference Night (Thursday) You will visit one or two chapters for 45 minutes each.

• Bid Day (Sunday) This is the best day of the whole process, you will join your chapter!

The purpose of this process is to establish standards to ensure that every Rollins fraternity and sorority is fully committed to the highest-quality student experience for each of its members, with particular emphasis on upholding the core values of fraternity & sorority life. It serves as the annual recognition process for all fraternities and sororities and entails a housing review component for all fraternal organizations with a facility. Each recognized fraternity and sorority must complete a Community Commitments report in order to maintain its status as a recognized organization at Rollins College.

Each report is reviewed by a committee of professional staff members and faculty. A star system is utilized to identify the level of excellence (or achievement) related to each area of the four fraternal values (academics, leadership, service to the community, and brotherhood/sisterhood), which are assessed in order to remain in good organizational standing. While each of the areas assesses excellence based on different specific criteria, the following is a general description of each of the star ratings:

• Zero Star Unacceptable (or unrecognized) Chapter Chapter has not met minimum expectations of Fraternity & Sorority Life with regards to the overall vision of excellence for sororities and fraternities.

• 1 Star Chapter Probation The chapter has not completed minimum expectations with regards to the overall vision of excellence for fraternities and sororities and has therefore been placed on probation.

• 2 Star Chapter of Growth The chapter has met the minimum expectations with regards to overall vision of excellence for sororities and fraternities.

• 3 Star Chapter of Promise The chapter has adequately met and demonstrated movement beyond minimum expectations with regards to overall vision of excellence for sororities and fraternities.

• 4 Star Chapter of Excellence The chapter has met all and exceeds expectations with regard to the overall vision of excellence for sororities and fraternities and continues to improve their organization and community.

FRATERNITY RECRUITMENTInterfraternity Council (IFC)

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is the NIC’s governing association for all men’s fraternal organizations recognized by Rollins, including local and international chapters. The IFC plans and implements various educational and leadership programs for its members while also providing administrative guidance for policy, procedure, recruitment, academic issues, and governance.

Fraternity Formal Recruitment

Formal Recruitment is a structured process for you to learn more about joining a fraternity and for fraternities to ask men to join their chapter. The week begins on Monday with orientation where you will meet your Rho Chi (recruitment counselor), be told what is expected for the week, and ask a panel of Rho Chi’s any questions you might have.

Below is how the week will work:

• Chapter Night (Tuesday) On this night you will visit each fraternity for 30 minutes with your Rho Chi group

• Open Night (Wednesday) You will have the opportunity to visit whichever fraternities you would like, but we encourage you to visit at least half of the groups

• Invite Night (Thursday) This night you will only be able to visit the fraternities that you are invited back to. Most fraternities will not extend you an invitation to Invite Night if you do not visit them on Open Night which is why we recommend spending time at half of the groups.

• Bid Day (Friday) This is the final and most fun day of men’s recruitment. This is when you will receive bids from the fraternities inviting you to join their brotherhood; once you have chosen to accept a bid, you will join your new brothers!
