One such activity enjoyed by all houses is intramural sports. Intramural sports, known as IM's, allow Greeks to enjoy friendly competition among chapters, and there's always of plenty of interested people who will start up a team with you. IM's run throughout the academic year and there are many to choose from. Other events throughout the year include a variety of social mixers that allow people to relax and meet new people. Mixers are often centered around a theme, such as rock decades or Hawaiian luaus, and allow fraternities and sororities to interact in a social setting.
Many chapters have house dances for all the members and their dates.
Barn dances are very popular ones, as well as formals. Chapters also hold retreats, which can include the entire membership, or just a pledge class who want to strengthen their bonds. Retreats and road trips are a great way to get off campus and go explore the beautiful Oregon scenery. Another great thing about being a member of a Greek organization, is that no matter what campus, city, or state you may end up in, you will always have people there to welcome and embrace you. If you're visiting friends, or on vacation, you are always more than welcome to stop by your fellow chapter home that is in the area.
