DIVINE 9
room 335, IMU
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC)/
Divine Nine is a collaborative organization of nine
historically African American, international, black Greek-
lettered fraternities and sororities. The nine NPHC
organizations collectively are referred to as the "Divine
Nine." This room honors and celebrates the significant
contributions - from 1914 to the present - of NPHC
chapters and their members to the University of Iowa and
the Iowa Memorial Union.
MGC
room 337, IMU
The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) serves all MGC
organizations as a support group, governing body in
their events and communities to promote multicultural
awareness, and to improve relations among all campus
fraternities and sororities. The MGC defines “cultural” to
include race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation.
The University of Iowa is proud to be home to the
founding of Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity, Inc. in 1986
and to Sigma Lambda Gamma Sorority, Inc. in 1990. The
Alpha chapters of both of these organizations continue
to be thriving organizations within the University of Iowa
Fraternity and Sorority community.

STEPPING
THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA NATIONAL PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL PRESENTS
THE 2017 STEP SHOW
and strolling
Stepping and Strolling is an expressive dance form
that was created by African American fraternities in
the 1970s. NPHC members move together in a line
expressing pride for their organization. In this line,
members may show this pride through the use of
their organization’s call, sign or historical information,
ritual/custom dances, etc. All of this is done through
movements that are unique to each organization.
Iowa NPHC hosts an annual Stroll Competition each
Spring semester, as well as an NPHC Showcase in the
Fall semester. These events serve as a great way for
NPHC, MGC and other organizations to show their
dance and strolling skills.

27P fraternity & sorority
Alternative Spring Break is an annual service
trip each spring semester. A group of fraternity
and sorority members travels to Indianapolis, IN to
engage in a service immersion experience. This trip
coincides with a three credit hour course focused
on service-learning and social justice. While in
Indianapolis, the students have the opportunity to
engage with community members first hand and
visit inter/ national fraternity/sorority headquarters.
Order of Omega is a national Fraternity & Sorority Honor Society for the top 3% of fraternity men and
sorority women based on the tenets of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Order of Omega’s
purposes are to recognize students who have attained a high standard of leadership within the community,
to bring together those members who will help shape the community and the University, and to join
faculty, alumni, and students with the intent of helping and understanding one another.
Rho Lambda is a National Sorority Leadership Recognition Society. Rho Lambda seeks to honor those
women within the sorority community who have exhibited the highest qualities of leadership and service to
their sorority community and their sorority. They are women who have furthered the ideals and principles
of the sorority community throughout their years of sorority affiliation. Rho Lambda is only comprised of
the top 10% of campus sorority women.
FSL Leadership Class meets each spring semester. Our Fraternity and Sorority Life Staff teach a
three credit leadership class for fraternity and sorority students. Discussion topics and assignments are
geared specifically toward leaders within the Fraternity and Sorority Community.
28involvement opportunities
FSL Weekend is a weekend celebration of everything fraternity
and sorority at Iowa! Fraternity and sorority members work together
to plan a weekend of educational programs, friendly competitions
and service activities. In Spring 2019 chapters participated in the
talent show, held annual blood drive for the DeGowin Blood Center
& Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center, held a carnival to
benefit table to table, and many more influential events.
The University of Iowa Dance Marathon has been
providing emotional and financial support for children with cancer
and their families since 1994. To date, Dance Marathon has raised
over 24.5 million dollars. The Fraternity and Sorority Community
plays a vital role in the success of Dance Marathon each year. In
fact, members of the Fraternity & Sorority Community were
responsible for starting the organization.
Circle of Sisterhood is supported by all four councils
through annual fundraising programs. The Circle of Sisterhood
is a foundation focused on leveraging the collective wisdom and
influence of sorority women to support entities around the world
that remove educational barriers for girls and women, uplifting them
from poverty and oppression. To date, UIowa FSL has donated over
$8000 to the Circle of Sisterhood and looks forward to continuing
their annual fundraisers for such an important cause!

ANTI-HAZING
policy
Hazing is defined as any intentional or reckless action or situation, with or without consent, that endangers a
student or creates risk of injury, mental or physical discomfort, harassment, embarrassment, and/or ridicule
for the purpose of initiation into, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in any student
organization, fraternity, sorority, or team recognized by the University of Iowa Student Government or by any
other University sponsor or department. Hazing may occur on or off campus.
Acts of hazing include, but are not limited to: compulsory alcohol or drug consumption; physical brutality;
psychological cruelty; public humiliation; morally degrading activities; forced confinement; creation of
excessive fatigue; required removal or destruction of public or private property; or any other activity that
endangers the physical, mental, psychological, or academic well-being and/or safety of an individual. Officers
and members of a student organization who knowingly permit such prohibited activity to occur without taking
reasonable preventative measures are subject to the Code of Student Life as an individual, even if they did not
administer the hazing activity.

NATIONAL ANTI-HAZING
week
Each fall at the end of September, fraternity and sorority members at Iowa celebrate National Anti-Hazing

history
The story of the University of Iowa Fraternity and Sorority Community started in 1866 when Beta
Theta Pi was established on campus as the first fraternity founded west of the Mississippi. Almost
15 years later, the first women’s chapter, Kappa Kappa Gamma, received their charter at Iowa. From
the beginning, both fraternities and sororities recognized the value that brotherhood and sisterhood
could bring to the college experience. One-hundred-fifty-three years later we are a community of
over 3,600 students who are members of one of our 49 fraternities and sororities. This includes 20
Interfraternity Council chapters, 6 National Pan-Hellenic Council chapters, 9 Multicultural Greek
Council chapters, and 14 Panhellenic Council chapters.
32FINANCIAL
responsibility
Financial responsibility is important for all college students. Every member of a fraternity or sorority
agrees to be fiscally responsible as a student and as a chapter member. Fees may include local and
national membership dues, room and board (if the chapter has a house) and other one-time fees such
as initiation or new member fees. The charts below provide you financial information by council. They
include the high, low and average costs within that council.
For 2019-2020, the average cost of living in a university-owned residence hall per year for a double room
and unlimited meals is $10,640.00.
While fraternity and sorority structures are recognized student housing, their residential houses are not
located on University property and are privately owned. Questions about individual housing facilities
should be directed to the chapter’s local House Corporation Board. Further financial information will be
provided during recruitment/membership intake.
