Mission
Sorority & Fraternity Life (SFL) at UC Irvine works with students to create an inclusive environment that challenges members to develop into leaders who uphold the values, oaths, and commitments of their collegiate fraternal organization at UCI. Sorority & Fraternity Life values ongoing relationships with alumni, volunteers, campus administrators, and the surrounding community in order to create meaningful and purposeful undergraduate experiences that foster a commitment to service and lifetime membership.
SFL Pillars/Values
Scholarship | Leadership | Friendship | Philanthropy & Service
These are the guiding principles and values that each and every UCI SFL sorority and fraternity should operate under in addition to their own respective mission statement and values.
Scholarship
A student’s priority when attending college is their academics. Nearly all chapters require students to uphold academic standards and expectations. Historically, fraternal organizations were founded on the principle of academic success and friendship. SFL organizations continue to promote scholarship by providing many options for their members.
Leadership
Developing leaders today is a critical part of the sorority and fraternity experience. Taking the initiative to create positive innovative change while holding members accountable to its chapter, to its community and to the overall campus is what is at the foundation of every SFL organization.
Friendship
Fraternities and sororities foster lifelong friendships through social interactions, such as formals, delegate/chapter meetings, exchanges and socials. Members of sororities and fraternities, when joining, have an unforgettable support system and family that are always there to lean on. Alumni also take an active role in supporting the growth of chapter members throughout the year, attending homecoming events and conventions but why valuable connections can be so worthwhile to undergraduates.
Service
Philanthropy – Philanthropic projects are events held with the intent to raise money and/or collect items for donation to a community entity.
Service – Community service projects include the time spent by chapter members volunteering in the community.
History
When UCI opened in 1965 there were no fraternities or sororities on campus. By 1973, the Sorority & Fraternity community was created with three fraternities and three sororities. Over 40+ years later community has grown to 39 fraternities and sororities and has a very large multicultural Greek population. Currently, 1,600+ undergraduate students belong to a fraternity/sorority.
