Collections

The Student Life and Culture Archival Program collects, preserves, and makes available materials documenting student involvement in fraternities, sororities, student life and culture at the University of Illinois. Many students donated the records of their organization or Greek house, including administrative records, academic affairs, and publications.

In addition to University organizations, students and alumni deposited personal documents connected to their time at the University of Illinois. Materials take the form of letters, receipts, schoolwork, event programs, photo albums, and scrapbooks. These collections allow an intimate view into the daily life of previous generations of students.

In addition to University of Illinois records, the Student Life and Culture Archives also acquires the records of national organizations.
