Student Involvement
The Student Involvement team consists of the Offices of Fraternity and Sorority Life, Inclusive Engagement, Leadership Programs, Campus Recreation & Intramurals, and Student Activities. Our focus is to cultivate an environment where every student feels connected, engaged, challenged, supported, and respected. Wofford students have the opportunity to experience diverse and fun co-curricular programming that allows them to discover their personal strengths and passions.
Student Activities
The Office of Student Activities oversees the Mungo Student Center, supports all student organizations on campus and the chartering process, and directly advises the programming committees of Campus Union which include Wofford Activities Council (WAC), Wofford Athletics and Recreation (WAR), and Wofford Live. Student Activities sponsors and supports a variety of both small and large social events including (but not limited to); the Student Involvement Interest Fair, Homecoming Week, Family Weekend, food trucks, spring weekend and spring concert, and exam study breaks.
Campus Recreation, Intramurals and Club Sports
Wofford College offers a comprehensive program of intramural, recreation and club sports activities. These programs include team sports, individual sports, fitness classes, competitive club sports and outdoor recreation activities. Popular intramural team sport leagues include Terrier Tag (Wofford’s version of flag football), soccer, dodgeball, basketball, and softball. Competitive club sports offered are men’s basketball, women’s volleyball, equestrian, soccer, and swimming.
Fraternity and Sorority Life
Fraternities and sororities have been a part of Wofford College and the co-curricular program since 1869. Sororities have enhanced our campus life program since the 1970’s. Owing to a foundation based on social and moral character, good citizenship and a commitment to true fraternal culture, fraternities and sororities (sometimes referred to as Greek letter organizations) often constitute a valuable component of the student experience and complement the curricular and co-curricular aims of the college. Wofford currently has several Greek letter organizations on campus represented among the National Interfraternity Council, National Panhellenic Conference and the National Pan-Hellenic Council. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life operates under a deferred recruitment model meaning a student must successfully complete at least one semester of college before being eligible for rush, recruitment and/or the intake process. Student development, service, leadership, and scholarship are the four cornerstones of the fraternity and sorority experience at Wofford.
Inclusive Engagement
The office of inclusive engagement focuses on direct support for our diversity council student organizations (DCOs). They oversee social events, budgeting, risk management, and educational program support for DCOs. They also manage access and facilities support for the Meaders AMS/NPHC House in the Greek Village. They work closely with the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion on College-wide inclusivity efforts.
Leadership Programs
The office of leadership programs provides ongoing and meaningful leadership development opportunities for student organization leaders and emerging leaders on campus. The major programs of the office include The Chamber, monthly student organization leader trainings, the Greek Leader Summit each December for new fraternity and sorority leaders, and the Leadership Wofford Summit in August.
Publications
Wofford has three student publications, The Old Gold and Black (campus newspaper), The Journal (literary magazine), and The Bohemian (yearbook). A Publications Board composed of students and faculty members exercises financial control over the three publications and elects their editors and assistant editors. The board is at the service of the student staffs for suggestions or advice concerning their work. Standards governing student publications are printed in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities found in the Student Handbook.
