Fall Events: 

Greek Welcome takes place on the first Thursday of each semester. The aim of Meet the Greeks is to welcome all new and continuing students to campus by getting to learn about Greek-life. Come out and check out how to get involved and connected with FSL! 

National Hazing Prevention Week

This week-long program is scheduled during the national hazing prevention week event. Chico State is aware of the repertoire that it has had and as a way to raise awareness and be intentional in developing our students as the “Leaders of Tomorrow” FSL hosts its annual NHPW events that provide support to all students in the Chico State community with support and resources to combat hazing.  

This week-long program is geared towards engaging all of our Greek membership in a multitude of philanthropic events to reinstall the importance of philanthropy within our Greek culture. This program seeks to show our members that you can have fun and give back at the same time. 

The Greek Gala is scheduled during the Fall semester around the Winter Break. This event is opened to students, staff, and faculty who were or are affiliated in greek-life. We want to help our students get connected with faculty and staff for networking opportunities and professional and personal development. It is a celebratory event to recognize the accomplishments of our students! 

This weekend event is hosted by FSL and Wellcat Prevention to ensure the safety of our community. Halloween can be a fun and exciting experience for our incoming and continuing students, but it can also put our students at high-risk and as a proactive response, greek-life students volunteer time and energy to provide their peers with snacks and water to promote safety.

Workshops and Trainings 

These monthly meetings are scheduled throughout the Academic Year. The event is geared towards all Presidents of every organization and council, during these meetings Presidents will receive FSL updates regarding upcoming events, trainings, and other involvement opportunities. Campus partners will also be presenting resources and services that are available for our students to further support their college careers.  

This training is in collaboration with the EODR Office, Wellcat SafePlace, Wellcat Prevention, CLIC, and the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR). During this training ALL current active members of all recognized social fraternities and sororities are required to attend the training to raise awareness on issues affecting our greek community at Chico State. Our student leaders will also have the opportunity to ask questions and receive resources on support services that are readily available to them as Chico State students.

This training is aimed to welcome our new members into greek-life at Chico State. It is mandatory for all New Members to attend as FSL provides students with useful information regarding their new found home. FSL also does a formal presentation of who we are and what we do to further support them during their greek-life journeys.
