Linfield recognizes seven fraternity and sorority organizations; four sororities and three fraternities, all located on the McMinnville Campus. The sororities do not have houses, but rather meeting rooms on the lower level of Miller Hall. The fraternities have houses near campus. There will be a structured recruitment week Fall Semester for new students interested in learning more about Linfield’s fraternities and sororities, and informal recruitment events throughout the remainder of the academic year.

For students choosing to join a sorority or fraternity, there is usually a fee for initiation and dues which need to be paid sometime during the semester in which they join. This charge is typically for dues, local fees, and in the case of fraternities, housing charges. Those joining fraternities may move to the fraternity house after one full semester in university housing. 

Fraternity and Sorority members will not only be held to Linfield University policies but also to the Linfield University Fraternity and Sorority Life Risk Management Policies and Procedures Handbook as well as the Linfield University Fraternity and Sorority Life Relationship Statement 

Failure to follow these policies may lead to a student receiving sanctions if found responsible for a violation.

Sanctions may include, but are not limited to:

• Community restitution hours
• Educational programs
• Exclusion from current University residence halls, apartments, and/or fraternity housing
