Sororities & Fraternities

Each fraternity and sorority has their own set of individual standards and principles, but as a campus community there are four values we believe in and strive to fulfill: leadership, scholarship, service & philanthropy, and brotherhood/sisterhood.

Leadership

Greek organizations provide an excellent place to gain the experience and knowledge necessary to develop strong leadership skills. Serving as an officer or committee chair in a chapter or governing council will help an individual develop a multitude of leadership skills, including but not limited to conflict management, delegation, decision making, and effective communication skills. Being a member of a fraternity or sorority often expands to involvement in other areas of campus such as student government, clubs, and organizations.

Scholarship

Scholarship is an important aspect of fraternity and sorority at Texas Lutheran University. Minimum grade point averages are required in each chapter for affiliation, initiation, and maintenance of good standing.

Service & Philanthropy

TLU fraternity and sorority members take service to others to heart through philanthropic and community service endeavors. Many organizations have a specific service or philanthropy, such as Susan G. Komen Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, and Adopt A Highway. As a fraternity or sorority member, you will have the opportunity to support the local and campus community.

Brotherhood/Sisterhood

Joining a fraternity or sorority means becoming part of a family. Fraternity/sorority brothers and sisters provide a "home away from home" for TLU students. The brotherhood and sisterhood that they develop is one that students share through good times and provides support during the difficult challenges that come with being a college student. The friendships that our members make with their chapters lasts a lifetime.

Greek Council is the governing body of all social Greek organizations and serves as the liaison between Student Activities and each Greek organization. Greek Council functions under the authority of the Dean of Student Life and Learning.

Members of Greek Council are appointed through their respective fraternity or sorority and also include each organization’s president. Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) and Inter-Sorority Council (ISC) presidents sit on Greek Council as non-voting members. Meetings occur once each month. Greek Council sponsors Greek Week every year. The purpose of IFC and ISC is to coordinate the overall policies and activities of the social fraternities and sororities further relations between social groups, act as a medium in cooperation between the administration of TLU and individual fraternities and sororities, and to mediate between the student body and the member organizations.

Omega Tau ΩΤ

Founded October 20, 1958, Omega Tau is the oldest fraternity at Texas Lutheran University. Omega Tau has a great history of relationships with its alumni as well as the faculty here at TLU. The Omegas participate in Greek Games, TLU Intramurals and are proud participants of community activities. We pride ourselves in brotherhood, scholarship, integrity, and social prestige.

Sigma Phi Theta ΣΦΘ

The Thetas were chartered on the principles that no one individual should be denied the chance to share the brotherhood of a fraternity. The Sigma Phi Theta fraternity is primarily concerned with the individuality of each person and their academic achievement while attending TLU.

Beta Alpha Sigma ΒΑΣ

Beta Alpha Sigma was founded in 1934 on the TLC campus by a group of ten women who wanted to pledge their friendship to each other. Betas are the oldest sorority and have continued 75 consecutive years of tradition on the TLU campus. From the beginning, we have worked hard to develop a long-standing run of tradition, honesty, friendship, and unity. The Betas are always participating in a lot of activities that benefit the TLU campus and greater Seguin community. We have one big school-wide party each semester as well as mixers, formals, and many social events. We are classy women who are brought together for our love of sisterhood and of Texas Lutheran University. There is no other organization like us!

Kappa Pi Gamma ΚΠΓ

Kappa Pi Gamma is a sisterhood that holds all of its members in union with a strong bond of Christian love. We provide wholesome social activities that strengthen school spirit among Texas Lutheran University students.

Xi Tau ΞΤ

The main purpose and function of Xi Tau is a social sorority to benefit TLU and its students. We aim to foster friendship, sisterhood, loyalty and trust.
