WELCOME LETTER

Dear Clemson Family,

I am pleased to present you with the first edition of the Fraternity and Sorority Life

Annual Report. This report will provide a comprehensive review of the performance

of the fraternity and sorority community during the 2013–2014 academic year. For

this initial report, we included membership and academic data, reports from our five

governing councils and awards recipients.

The 2013–2014 academic year was a period of transition in Fraternity and Sorority Life.

This year, I joined Brianna Lombardozzi and Dr. Kendra Stewart-Tillman to work for the

Clemson University Greek community. Highlights from the year are listed below:

• Four fraternities and sororities rejoined our community after being dormant for several

years. Pi Kappa Phi started the first phase of their expansion into the Interfraternity

Council (IFC) in March 2014 and will complete their initial class during the fall 2014

semester. The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) added three chapters when

Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma and Sigma Gamma Rho became active.

• Beta Upsilon Chi was granted associate membership with IFC.

• The Epsilon Kappa chapter of Order of Omega was one of four chapters in the

nation to receive the Outstanding Chapter Award from the Order of Omega national

headquarters in Feb. 2014.

• The Interfraternity Council received the Fraternal Excellence Award at the

Southeastern Interfraternity Conference in Feb. 2014.

• The College Panhellenic Council (CPC) was recognized by the Southeastern

Panhellenic Association for Excellence in Leadership and Circle of Sisterhood Impact

in March 2014.

2015 will mark the 45th anniversary of our local chapters chartering with national

organizations. Fraternity and Sorority Life staff are committed to challenging the chapters

and councils to create better men and women who will become engaged citizens upon

graduation. Whether you are a faculty member, headquarters representative or a parent

reading this report, we look forward to partnering with you in helping to achieve our

goals with the fraternity and sorority community.

Go Tigers!

Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY FRATERNITY AND SORORITY LIFE CHAPTER HISTORY

The first local social men’s organization was founded at Clemson in 1956. Since then, fraternities and sororities have

been a vital part of campus life and local traditions at the University. Today, over 4,200 students are members of our 44

chapters included in the College Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council.

COLLEGE PANHELLENIC COUNCIL 2013–2014 REPORT

Clemson’s CPC made great strides in unifying Panhellenic chapters

on campus, increasing communication and creating an approachable

environment between the CPC community and its leaders.

RECRUITMENTIn an effort to move toward a more values-based recruitment system, CPC

hosted KJ McNamara of Phired Up! Productions to speak on two different

occasions — one for chapters and one for recruitment counselors. These

events were dedicated to teaching current members how to ask questions

during recruitment that focused more on a potential new member’s values

rather than surface-level questions.

To build a better relationship with Potential New Members (PNMs)

before they reach Clemson in the fall, CPC sent weekly blog posts to

PNMs explaining what to expect during recruitment and how to ensure a

smooth and comfortable transition. CPC also created a recruitment video

to introduce interested young women to each chapter’s specific values.

CIRCLE OF SISTERHOODA Circle of Sisterhood Committee was created to plan a Circle of

Sisterhood Week, dedicated to raising money to enhance the lives of girls

and women around the world through education. CPC hosted a BBQ,

a viewing of Half the Sky, tabling, raffles throughout the week and an

educational program from TJ Sullivan entitled Motivating the Middle. More

than $2,000 was raised during the spring semester.

CPC selected one woman from each sorority to participate in the

Panhellenic trek to Senegal, Africa. This trip will take place during

summer 2015.

AWARDSCPC received two awards at the 2014 Southeastern Panhellenic

Conference. They were recognized for their work with the Circle of

Sisterhood and their leadership development efforts.

INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL 2013–2014 REPORT

OVERVIEWIn the past year the Clemson Interfraternity Conference has accomplished

many things. They have accumulated countless hours of community

service and donated a great amount of money to philanthropies not

only in the local community but nationally as well. The Clemson

Interfraternity Council was recognized by the Southeastern Interfraternity

Conference (SEIFC) as one of the most successful fraternity communities

in the Southeastern region by being awarded the designation of Fraternal

Excellence at SEIFC 2014. On top of all of these great accomplishments,

they welcomed two new groups to our community and look forward to a

bright future of service and engagement on Clemson’s campus.

NEW INITIATIVESIn the past year, IFC has taken many measures to set the community

up for future success. In creating this foundation the IFC has adapted

policies related to the new member process, recruitment and scholastic

guidelines. With these new policies, IFC has shown once again that they

are committed to adding value to the University community and student

experience. They believe that these changes will allow them to continue

to attract Clemson’s best and brightest students. The Clemson University

Interfraternity Council is extremely proud of the progress made in the

past year and look forward to the bright future, numerous opportunities

and endless potential these policies created.

NATIONAL PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL (NPHC) 2013–2014 REPORT

The past year has been an exciting time for NPHC, Fraternity and

Sorority Life and Clemson University as a whole. Our dedicated

students have contributed to the success of many academic, service

and social events that have positively impacted our campus. NPHC

has spent the 2013–2014 year revamping its structure in a way that

better serves its Clemson community. In the fall, NPHC hosted

the first NPHC Week in several years. The week consisted of daily

student-focused events geared towards bringing different groups

together in a fun and engaging environment. Events such as Greek

jeopardy and football tailgates encouraged students to feel welcomed

and appreciated by their Greek community. In the spring, NPHC

focused heavily on internal growth as they hosted a networking

mixer for leaders in the Greek community. The productive yet social

environment allowed students from all councils to mingle and discuss

ways to make a better Clemson. NPHC also witnessed a large amount

of growth with two fraternities returning and new membership classes

in seven organizations. The past year was filled with exciting memories

that NPHC only hopes to build upon in coming years!

ORDER OF OMEGA

EPSILON KAPPA CHAPTERThe purpose of Order of Omega is to recognize those fraternity

men and women who have attained a high standard of leadership in

interfraternity activities, encourage them to continue along this line

and inspire others to strive for similar conspicuous attainment. We

strive to unite outstanding fraternity men and women to create an

organization that will help to mold the sentiment of the institution

on questions of local and intercollegiate fraternity affairs. Order of

Omega brings together faculty, alumni and students of the institution’s

fraternities and sororities on a basis of mutual interest, understanding

and helpfulness. We create an atmosphere where ideas and issues can

be discussed openly to find solutions to problems across the entire

Fraternity and Sorority Life community. In 2013, Epsilon Kappa

Chapter was Nationally Awarded “Outstanding Chapter Award”.

RECRUITMENTRecruitment takes place both fall and spring semesters through an

application process. Applications are generally accepted in October

and February. In spring 2014, our chapter welcomed 57 new members

representing 26 different IFC, NPHC and CPC organizations.

PROGRAMMINGOrder of Omega hosts the Fraternity and Sorority Life Banquet

every spring to recognize chapters and individual members of the

community for their outstanding academic and philanthropic

achievements.

Our chapter also hosts academic study hours for the entire community.

The organization with the highest attendance receives a prize at the

end of the semester; in the past we have rewarded that chapter with

a study room to themselves for the entire week of exams.

The Greek of the Month program recognizes a Fraternity and

Sorority Life student each month for their contributions to the Greek

community. We encourage students to nominate others from

chapters and councils different from their own.

The Academic Success Summit invites Fraternity and Sorority Life

members who have received below a 2.7 GPA the prior semester

for a day of programming including a keynote speaker, study tips, and

information on available resources at Clemson. The Summit in the fall

of 2013 had over 100 attendees.

Order of Omega also sponsors a Greek Mentorship Program that

partners juniors and seniors in the community with freshmen and

sophomores. This past spring we revamped the program to include

more than academic help. It is now a well-rounded program full

of important information including academic resources, campus

involvement information, community service opportunities,

internships, co-ops and leadership opportunities within and

outside their organization.

CHANGESDuring the past year, the new position of Greek Programming Board Delegate was

created within each chapter. The purpose of this position is to relay information

between the Greek Programming Board and the delegate’s individual chapter in

the most efficient manner. The delegates will also aid the members of the Greek

Programming Board in working the events throughout the year. The delegates will

contribute to the Greekwide events calendar, which was also created this year.
