Pledging for these coeducational fraternities follows rush activities at the beginning of each academic year. This voluntary program is student directed, but it is also an extension of the College's public service and clinical training program. Its purpose is to provide on-site visual screenings, and when necessary, additional visual services to needy people who otherwise would not receive visual care. The project provides training in administration, clinical skills and community service. The Sports Vision Club is designed to give students an opportunity to learn, observe, and practice the methods of sports vision screening evaluation and training.
Membership is open to the entire student body.
