Overview of the Fraternity & Sorority Community at Linfield College

The Linfield College Fraternity & Sorority Community was born in 1904 with the establishment of the Delta Psi Delta local fraternity. It has since grown significantly to include four sororities and four fraternities. The Director of College Activities, with help from the College Activities and Fraternity & Sorority Life Program Assistant, serves as the College’s Fraternity and Sorority Life Advisor.

Fraternity & Sorority Governance Structure

Advising and all non-conduct supervision of fraternity & sorority organizations at Linfield College falls under the purview of the Fraternity & Sorority Life Advisor. The College Conduct Office handles all conduct issues involving Greek letter organizations and their members. The Fraternity & Sorority Life Relationship Statement sets policies and regulations regarding the Fraternity & Sorority Community. The Fraternity & Sorority Life Relationship Statement is a binding agreement between the College and the Greek Chapters adopted by the Board of Trustees. Additionally the Fraternity & Sorority Risk Management document dictates risk management policies. Both documents can be found at linfield.edu/greek under the resources tab.

Fraternity & Sorority Councils

The Linfield College Fraternity & Sorority Community has two councils that oversee the community. The Interfraternity Council (IFC) oversees the four fraternities. The Linfield Panhellenic Council (LPC) oversees the four sororities. The councils are responsible for overseeing fraternity & sorority recruitment, the fraternity & sorority life image, and handling inter-Chapter conflicts.

Fraternities

Linfield College has three national fraternities and one local fraternity. The National fraternities are Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Theta Chi. The local fraternity is Delta Psi Delta.

Sororities

Linfield College has three national sororities and one local sorority. The national sororities are Alpha Phi, Phi Sigma Sigma, and Zeta Tau Alpha. The local sorority is Sigma Kappa Phi.
