About Us
Welcome to the Inter-Sorority Council (ISC). We are currently the largest group of women on Grounds with over 1800 members in 15 sororities. The ISC at the University of Virginia strives to uphold the values of integrity, loyalty, compassion, and humility, upon which the organizations were founded. Sorority involvement enhances the experience of all current and future sorority women by providing resources and opportunities for scholarship, leadership, service, and social development in an atmosphere conducive to friendship and sisterhood.
Mission Statement
ISC strives to uphold the five pillars on which it stands: Sisterhood, Service, Scholarship, Support, and Student Leadership. ISC's mission is to support and promote the well-being of the 15 chapters of the ISC and their members in their interactions with each other, as well as the fraternity/sorority UVA, and local community.
Recruitment
Perhaps one of the most recognized functions of ISC is overseeing the process of Recruitment that takes place each year. Potential new members are invited to consider sorority membership through two different intake processes: Informal and Formal Recruitment. Informal Recruitment occurs at the beginning of the fall semester and is open only to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years. Formal Recruitment takes places immediately following Winter Break. This second semester intake process is considerably more structured and extensive than the fall process and is ISC's primary method of attaining new members.
