Pi Beta Phi

Life in the Pi Beta Phi Mansion

Once again the Fall season brings the ladies of 1518 the joy of another year in our gorgeous chapter house. Across the street from campus, and two short blocks from downtown 13th Street, this house has seen almost 100 years of pi phi angels. Built for the Pi Phi’s of 1915, the house gets a mini face-lift each summer supervised by a group of extraordinary alumni. We all look forward to the most recent additions to our home and the chance to show it all off to the newest potential members during Fall Formal Recruitment! In addition to housing 53 of our members, our historic house on Kincaid street is home to our beloved house mother Charlotte. More than any of the remodeling surprises, we cannot wait to see her smiling face as we begin another year of success and sisterhood!

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish…Silver Blue Fish?

Each year, the highlight of a pi phi’s philanthropic calendar is the annual Pi Social event. Hosted in at our chapter house, the entire community is invited to an all-you-can eat pie buffet, the pie a pi-phi booth, a few friendly competitions, and a performance by our university a capella group, On the Rocks. We begin preparation at least a year in advance and the event always ends with smiles, whipped cream pies, and the satisfaction of another event well done! All of our proceeds benefit our national philanthropic cause, Literacy. Specifically, we support the First Book Foundation whose goal is to provide children with their first book who otherwise could not afford to purchase a book at all. Nothing builds sisterhood quiet like building a brighter future for children! Won’t you join us next year?

Go Ducks! Go Pi Phi!

Football season at the Pi Beta Phi Mansion calls to mind the smell of fall leaves, front porch group pictures in our duck gear, and walks to Autzen stadium with pi phi sisters. Last year, our sisters from all over the PAC-12 came to visit us when their teams came over to play the Ducks. Even though our game day attire reflected opposite teams, the bond of sisterhood lasts long after the fourth quarter! We look forward to the upcoming Duck football season, cheering for our UO Dance Team sisters during half time, and claiming those tailgating spots for pre-game barbeques. See you at Autzen stadium!

Alpha Phi

The Tau chapter of Alpha Phi has been at the University of Oregon for almost 100 years, and in those years it's members have built upon the tradition and sisterhood that the sorority was founded on.

Alpha Phis are very involved at the University of Oregon. We attend every philanthropy event in Greek Life, and many of our members are involved on campus outside of Greek Life as well.


Alpha Phi proudly hosts two philanthropy events every year. Our Red Dress Gala is hosted each February in Portland, raising money for our national philanthropy, The Alpha Phi Foundation, supporting women's heart health. In the spring, we also host the "Alpha Male" competition, a talent show among fraternity members raising money for The Alpha Phi Foundation as well as a different local philanthropy each year.

We like to say we "work hard to play hard." Alpha Phis are very social and we are always looking forward to our next sisterhood event or social function with our friends. Some of our favorite activities are senior pinning ceremonies, and weekend trips to the Oregon coast, Seattle, the Bay Area, and beyond with our sisters. No matter what, as Alpha Phis, we are always having fun together while still working hard to be the best we can be.

Alpha Chi Omega

Congratulations on your decision to go through fall formal recruitment! Being a part of the Fraternity and Sorority Life community on campus is a great way to get involved, meet new people, and express your individuality while still being a part of something bigger. At Alpha Chi Omega we take pride in our sisterhood by following our open motto "Together let us seek the heights". We do this by encouraging each other to do our best in academics, pushing each other to try new things, and supporting one another through thick and thin.

One thing we are most proud of is the work we do to prevent domestic violence. Every year we organize a softball tournament, called Diamond Days, that every Fraternity and Sorority chapter on campus participates in. This softball tournament directly benefits a local organization, Women's Space, whose main purpose is to support victims of domestic violence.

Diamond Days 2012

We are a group of unique and diverse women, but we all have a way of bonding over Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University, philanthropy, being involved in many aspects of campus life, and the Ducks!
