| Mission Statement |
| |
| The mission of USA Student Activities is to connect students with organizations, services and programs that will enhance their interests and passions while complimenting academic development. We encourage both individual and group experiences that foster interpersonal relationships, promote the application of practical and useful skills, and enhance the academic learning environment. We value experiences that inspire leadership, cultivate diversity, encourage campus and community engagement, and clarify individual values. |

| About USA Student Activities |
| |
| As part of the Division of Student Affairs, USA Student Activities seeks to provide students with developmental opportunities beyond the scope of the classroom through involvement in activities, campus and community service, and student organizations. Our office is responsible for the registration and supervision of nearly 200 student clubs and organizations ranging from social to professional/departmental, religious organizations, honor societies and special interest groups. There is something for everyone! A current list is available under “Student Organizations,” and forming a new interest group is easy. Just contact our office in the Academic Support Center, Room 1324. |

The Office of Greek Life, located in the Academic Support Center, Room 1324, oversees our 19 sororities and fraternities and the three governing councils: National Pan-Hellenic Council, College Panhellenic Council, and the Interfraternity Council. Fall Formal Recruitment for College Panhellenic occurs the week before classes begin, and the Interfraternity Council groups recruit the first week of fall classes. The National Pan-Hellenic Council fraternities and sororities will hold interest meetings in fall and spring with intake taking place later in the year. For information on these events, call 460-7003, or visit the Greek Affairs website. |

Leadership Development is another important aspect of USA Student Activities, and we are currently exploring new ideas in this area. Check back soon for additional information on new leadership programs for the 2012-2013 academic year, including the "What's On Wednesday" series. |

Community Service opportunities abound at South Alabama, and our office can help get students connected. Through Volunteer Mobile and community schools, agencies, hospitals, children’s homes and day-care sites, we are able to answer many of the requests for student volunteers. We also sponsor Alternative Spring Break each year as an opportunity for students to give time and effort to assisting those less fortunate. Get connected through USA Student Activities and Greek Life, Academic Support Center, Room 1324, (251) 460-7003. |
