UIFI
Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute
UIFI is a four-day, three-night, immersive leadership experience where fraternity/sorority students come together to:
discover new solutions to critical problems
learn from and share experiences with other fraternity and sorority students
identify the conversations they want to start in their own communities.
Participants will learn from each other in both large and small group settings. Our goal is for all participants to have a new perspective about their own fraternity/sorority experience as a result of their time at UIFI.
WE have ~History~
UIFI has been around for more than 30 years and graduated over 20,000 fraternity/sorority leaders.
Since AFLV began hosting the program in 2023, we have graduated over 500 attendees from over 100 different affiliations representing 100+ institutions.
