  • Greek Trivia, Did you know...
    Florida Greek logo

    Every United States President since the 1830's has been Greek except for two.

    Two-thirds of the members of Congress and 80% of the Supreme Court are members of fraternities of sororities.

    Of the nation's 50 largest corporations, 43 are headed by members of fraternities or sororities.

    A U.S. Government study shows that over 70% of all those who join a Greek organization graduate, while under 50% of all non-fraternity/sorority students graduate.

    Over 85% of the student leaders on some 730 campuses are involved in the Greek community.

    Greek undergraduates raise about $7 million a year for local and national charities.


    Change of Date for Spring 2007 House Corporation Meeting

    The new date/time/location will be:

    Saturday, February 17, 2007
    10 am to noon
    J. Wayne Reitz Union Room 282

    We apologize for any convenience. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Chris Bullins at bullins@ufl.edu.


    Alumni Training Roundtable

    The Alumni Training Roundtable is schedule for Thursday, February 1, 2007 at 7:00 PM. The room has not been scheduled. Please refer to the Greek website for any further information.


    Membership Intake Window is Now Open

    The membership intake window is now open for the Multicultural Greek Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council.

    Membership intake intent forms indicating if your chapter is or is not participating in intake must be filled out and submitted to the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Affairs. The link for the form can be found below or on the resource page of the Greek website.


    Change of Officer Form/Update Database

    Please remember that officer changes must be updated on the involvement website. If a President, Treasurer and/or faculty advisor has changed, a change of officer form must be turned in to the Center for Student Involvement by the organization President. Once the form is turned in, the President will be able to update officers online.

    Please remember to update chapter rosters, all new members from Fall '06 should be changed to active members. All Fall '06 graduates should also be changed to alumni status.


    Event/Program Permitting Process
    All student organization events or programs that take place on University grounds must receive a permit through the Office of Student Activities. Submitting a Program Planning From should be the first step you take in planning a program or event on campus.

    If your permit requires a signature from the Office of Sorority Affairs, please call ahead to schedule an appointment. These appointments will not be given in the same day and will take approximately 15 minutes, please plan accordingly. To schedule an appointment call (352) 846-3171.

    Student Nighttime Auxiliary Patrol (S.N.A.P)
    In light of recent crimes, I would like to encourage everyone to be careful on campus and off. Please be aware of your surroundings, go out in groups at night, stay in well-lit areas, and lock your doors to your house, apartment and car as soon as you get in.

    SNAP provides nightly escorts anywhere on campus to persons upon request. The service is staffed by students equipped and supervised by the university police department. SNAP employees also provide walking escorts upon request.
