MANAGE
We support student organizations by providing resources, guidance, and opportunities to connect with new members through events such as the Engagement Fairs.
SPIN serves as the central hub for student organizations at UW-Stevens Point, housing forms, policies, travel information, event planning resources, and organization management tools. Organizations use SPIN to update officer information, maintain rosters, and keep their records current throughout the year.
CASE shares space and collaborates closely with the Student Government Association (SGA), which represents the student body through shared governance on campus.
Fraternity & Sorority Life
Whether you have already made the decision to join a fraternity or sorority, or are still deciding if it is for you, we welcome you to the Greek community at UWSP.
Making an Impact Together
The Inter-Greek Council (IGC) serves as the governing body for fraternity and sorority life at UW-Stevens Point. Made up of student leaders from across the Greek community, IGC works to foster collaboration, promote academic success, encourage community service, and enhance the overall student experience.
Through campus involvement, leadership opportunities, and philanthropic initiatives, IGC helps create a connected and supportive Greek community while making a positive impact both on campus and throughout Stevens Point.

Serving Our Community

Service is at the heart of fraternity and sorority life at UW-Stevens Point. Each chapter participates in a variety of community service and philanthropic efforts, including volunteering, fundraising, and hosting events that support local and national causes.
The Inter-Greek Council (IGC) also coordinates opportunities for the entire Greek community to serve together through campus-wide service projects and initiatives. In the past year alone, fraternity and sorority members contributed 1,978 volunteer hours and donated more than $1,430, demonstrating their commitment to making a positive impact on campus and in the Stevens Point community.
Leadership Starts Here
Fraternities and sororities at UW-Stevens Point are student-led organizations that help members build leadership skills and get involved on campus. Members can serve on committees, hold chapter leadership positions, or represent the Greek community through the Inter-Greek Council (IGC).
The experience gained through Greek life helps students develop valuable skills that support their success both during college and beyond.

Academics First

Academic success is a cornerstone of fraternity and sorority life at UW-Stevens Point. Each chapter requires members to meet minimum GPA standards, and every organization must maintain a chapter GPA of at least 2.5 to remain in good standing.
To support student achievement, each chapter has a dedicated academic officer who promotes scholarship and connects members with resources. The Inter-Greek Council (IGC) also has a student leader focused on strengthening academic success across the Greek community.
Lifelong Connections
Fraternity and sorority life at UWSP provides all its members with a valuable support system. These organizations are founded upon the ideas of sisterhood and brotherhood. Membership in such an organization lasts a lifetime, as does the support and friendships that it brings. Each chapter provides a sense of community and belonging, while still encouraging members to broaden their horizons, and providing them with the opportunities to do so.

How to Join
So you are ready to take the next step towards membership in a Greek lettered organization?
This step-by-step guide with Dos and Don’ts will make sure you know what to expect.
Attend Meet the Greeks
Meet the different organizations! For times, dates, and locations check out the organizations on SPIN!
Attend recruitment events.
DO: Attend recruitment for most or all sororities (for women) or fraternities (for men).
DON’T: Join the first organization you meet.
Remember: membership in a fraternity or sorority is for life. This is not a decision that should be made lightly. Take the time to get to know the different organizations and think about where you fit!
DO: Ask questions! (What is the minimum chapter GPA? How much does it cost? What is the time commitment?) Ask any and all questions you have!
Accept a Bid!
After recruitment events are over, organizations will distribute bids (an invitation to become a member of their associate class). For most organizations acceptance of a bid is marked by attending an Induction Ceremony, where you will officially become a member of that organizations associate class.
DO: Be honest with your organization. Talk to them about any questions or concerns you have before accepting the bid.
Complete the Education process
Every organization has a different education process. They vary in length and content but usually last at least 4-6 weeks. The education is designed to teach you the skills and resources you will need to be a successful member of your organization.
DON’T: Let education get in the way of your class work.
DO: Speak up if balancing the education process is too challenging. Chapter members can help you with time management skills.
DO: Use this time to work on your time management skills. It is a characteristic of great leaders!
DON’T: Participate in an activity where you feel uncomfortable. Speak up, say something. Tell your friends or report the incident to CASE.
Become an initiated member of your organization!
Congratulations! Organizations mark this event with an initiation ceremony, where you become a full member of the organization. The entire process takes anywhere from half a semester to a whole semester!
DON’T: Compromise your values for membership in an organization. You know what’s right and wrong. Stick to your beliefs and you will be a strong and successful leader.
DO: Report any hazing to the university!
Hazing Prevention
The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point prohibits hazing by individuals or groups in any form both on and off campus. Hazing does not contribute to the positive development and welfare of any individual or group and is antithetical to the mission of the institution.
