Greek Points were created to encourage the Greek community to foster relationships with members in different organizations other than their own. Greek Points provide the opportunity to come together and serve the campus and the University in service and philanthropic efforts. The goal of the Greek Programming Board and the Greek point system is that members will leave the university with friends in not only their own Greek Chapter but with friends in all four councils.
Greek Programming Board and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life have the final say on the delegation of Greek Points for events. Points value will be announced before the event. The Board withholds the right to deny based on location and availability of transportation for students.
All Greek Point events are worth 1 Greek Point, except for OFSL- sponsored events that are worth 3 Greek Points.
Chapter-sponsored events:
Events sponsored by non-UA organizations will not be approved.
To use Greek Points for an event, it must align with the five engagement waves.
Organizations may submit up to two Venmo fundraisers for Greek Points per semester. Each month only 5 Venmo fundraisers will be approved for Greek Points.
The Greek Programming Board oversees the approval of all Greek Points and Greek Point Events. Please complete the Greek Points Application, if you are interested in having Greek Points for an event your student organization or UA department is sponsoring. Before submitting the application, please review the Greek Points Guidelines above. Please submit a separate application for each event. For questions about Greek Points, please email Lexi Snoke, Coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life amsnoke@ua.edu.
Please allow 10-14 business days for the approval of your event to be completed. This includes:
