University of California, Irvine. Greek Life.

Sororities and fraternities were first established at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) in 1967. Greek Life was established as an administrative body at UCI in 1989 under the guidance of the Dean of Students. Greek Life works to foster leadership skills in students so that they may uphold the values, oaths, and commitments of their collegiate fraternal organizations. Since 1967, UCI's fraternity and sorority community has grown to over 1,800 students. Several other organizations also oversee UCI's fraternities and sororities. The Interfraternity Council (IFC) governs several UCI fraternities. Many fraternities are also member organizations of the North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC). Overseeing several UCI sororities is the Panhellenic Association, the local governing body of the National Panhellenic Council (NPC). The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. (NPHC) provides leadership and training for nationally recognized fraternities and sororities of African American origin. The Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) oversees the Greek honor societies at UCI. Most Greek letter societies listed are chapters of national organizations, but some are local to Southern California or UCI.
