Fraternity and Sorority Life; a Uniquely Linfield Experience

Grace Fjermedal, Staff Writer / October 4, 2022

“The Fraternity and Sorority Life at Linfield is about building a community with people who become lifelong friends,” said Bridger Hayes-Lattin, Linfield’s coordinator of student organizations and activities and Fraternity and Sorority Life advisor, who encourages new students to get involved. “It is a very welcoming community, every chapter on campus is open and accepting of anybody it’s just a matter of reaching out and saying: ‘Hey I’d love to get to know your chapter better.’” 

Hayes, a recent graduate of Linfield, and a former member of Pi Kappa Alpha leaped into this position before the start of the new school year. Hayes facilitates communication amongst leadership in fraternities and sororities working closely with the Linfield Panhellenic Council (LPC) and Interfraternity Council (IFC) which are governing bodies of fraternities and sororities at Linfield. 

Linfield junior, Kylie Davis the Vice President of Linfield, Panhellenic Council is on the same beat. Davis works to maintain the community-centered environment of sororities.

 “You may have an idea of what sorority and fraternity life is supposed to look like, but it’s so different here,” said Davis. “I always recommend it to people. I know every single person in my chapter, we’re all such good friends. It’s the same across the board for everyone. You get to create that kind of tight knit community.”
