Fraternity and Sorority Leaders Retreat (FSLS)
The Fraternity and Sorority Leadership Summit (FSLS) is a one-day institute style event that challenges our Fraternity and Sorority Chapter and Council Leaders to grow as leaders, affect change in our community and in their organizations, and explore their values as leaders. FSLS is hosted at the beginning of each semester during the academic year.

Additional Greek Week Programs
-
Greek Sing: A fun singing and dancing competition between our fraternity and sorority chapters. Each group creates a themed performance, usually with costumes, choreography, and music to compete against each other. It’s a popular tradition at the University of Pittsburgh that brings the campus community, Alumni, family and friends together to cheer on their favorite Greek Week team.
-
Steel City Step Show: The NPHC Steel City Step Show is a high-energy performance where members of historically black and cultural based fraternities and sororities use their bodies to create rhythms through stepping, which includes stomping, clapping, and chanting in synchronized routines. It's a tradition especially popular in Black Greek-letter organizations and is a way to show pride, creativity, and unity. The performances are often loud, powerful, and full of meaning, telling a story or representing the group’s values and history.
