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.

Learning Objectives

After UIFI, participants will be able to:

  • Develop a motto that reflects their values and purpose

  • Describe the five practices of leadership and the strategies needed to develop each leadership practice

  • Identify the steps needed to be an inclusive leader

  • Explain the impact of the critical issues facing fraternity and sorority

  • Compare the critical issues facing fraternity and sorority to their organization’s shared values

  • Identify an issue or change initiative that aligns with their motto, values, and passions

  • Align change strategies with the 1% rule or the theory of marginal gains

  • Categorize their change efforts into the circle of influence and circle of control

  • Develop skills to start conversations with peers

  • Develop change strategies to influence peers that align with the four components of change

  • Design The Path Forward plan to guide participants action steps

UIFI Co-Lead Facilitator

The lead facilitator role is a two-year commitment for professionals, and will allow you to lead at least one session of UIFI in either 2025 or 2026.

You must submit your application by Wednesday, Oct. 23, at 11:59 p.m. PT.

In addition to leading one session of UIFI, lead facilitators train the small group facilitators for their session, meet quarterly with other lead facilitators for professional development, and provide feedback on the UIFI content as needed. Lead facilitators are seen as ambassadors for the UIFI program for the duration of their two-year term.
