Welcome to Big Orange Country!
Congratulations on choosing The University of Tennessee. At UT you will have the opportunity to explore many academic and co-curricular activities available at the university. A university of this size offers students with un-paralleled resources available in and around the Knoxville campus. From career services to student government, and sports clubs to Greek life, there is something for everyone at UT.
The Greek community at UT constantly ranks among the top in the country. Recently receiving two awards at the 2007 Southeastern Interfraternity Conference’s Leadership Academy, UT’s Interfraternity Council (IFC) is the governing body for all fraternity chapters on campus. With over 20 active chapters consisting of 1500 fraternity men, each chapter takes on their own identity within the campus community. Whether you are from the local Knoxville area or from a different country, I would encourage you to take the time to learn more about Greek life!
Fraternity recruitment takes place during the beginning of both the fall and spring semesters. Please check our website for more information on registration and a schedule of activities for Fall 2008Recruitment.
Finally, whether you join a fraternity or not, I encourage you to get involved with at least one student organization on campus. You will get out of your college years only what you put into them. Although football Saturdays in Knoxville are hard to beat, they only occur 7 times a year. What will you do for the rest of the year and more importantly, what will your mark be when you leave this university?
Go Vols,
Jim Harrison, Fraternity Affairs Advisors
