Agni is an Indian Classical Dance Team specializing in the south Indian dance style, Bharatanatyam. We perform at on campus and off campus events and are transitioning into the national competitive circuit as well. Our practices and performances are currently fully in person and twice a week. Auditions are held in the Fall and over the Summer. Information on joining can be obtained through our social media (@agni_minnesota on Instagram) or via email (agni@umn.edu).

Our mission: Agni Indian Classical Dance Team aims to provide an environment for individuals to embrace and immerse themselves in Indian culture and dance. Bharatanatyam is a popular dance form in the states, but many students lose touch with the art when they move to university. We strive to motivate individuals to get involved with their communities through dance and promote diversity through sharing our culture and art.

What do we do? Agni is a primarily Bharatanatyam-focused dance team, hence the name Agni, as Bharatanatyam represents the element of fire. We perform at on campus and off campus events and are looking into competitions as well. Our practices and performances are currently fully in person and twice a week for one hour each.

How can I get involved? At the beginning of each semester we hold a no-commitment workshop, where you'll learn a short piece (30sec-1min) that you can later choose to audition with. Results are announced within a week.

Leadership: As an Agni officer (President, Secretary, Marketing Director, or Finance Director), you learn organizational and management skills when reaching out to organizations for performances, coordinating practices, or advertising and promoting the group. In terms of dance, officers use choreography as a creative outlet and gain valuable teaching skills.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: We are more than just a dance team, we provide a means to connect to our historical and cultural roots. Our main dance form is Bharatanatyam, a classical dance originating in Tamil Nadu, India over 3000 years ago. Modernized in the late 1900's it's an integral part of Indian culture and familiar throughout South Asia.

Recreation and Health: Being a part of Agni is a great way for you to express your passion for dance while maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. We motivate each other to step out of our comfort zones and become better dancers. Not only do we promote physical health, but also mental health, as we're a family where you can take a break from the stress of school and life in general!

About Us

Alpha Chi Sigma is a co-ed professional chemistry fraternity that seeks to unite students with a love of chemistry and of the sciences in general. We also strive to teach others about the wonders of the chemical sciences through outreach activities in the community.

What Do We Do?

We participate in a variety of outreach events across the Twin Cities where we conduct chemical demonstrations for children, families, or more general audiences. Alpha Chi Sigma also organizes an annual Scouts BSA merit badge day where our members teach chemistry and engineering-related merit badges.

Professional events help connect members of the chapter with alumni of the fraternity who work in industry or academia, as well as UMN faculty. We work to connect each other with unique research and internship opportunities and help our members form a network of friends and colleagues in the field of chemistry.

Our fraternity cares deeply about the welfare of its members and seeks to create a friendly and positive environment in every way possible. Members of Alpha Chi Sigma are heavily encouraged to support each other academically, mentally, and emotionally. Weekly study hours present an opportunity for members to collaborate or work individually on schoolwork, and we remind our members to focus on their academics and mental health first.

Chapter Mission Statement:
Alpha Phi is a membership organization dedicated to promoting sisterhood, cultivating leadership, encouraging intellectual curiosity and advocating service.

Alpha Phi provides unlimited leadership opportunities, academic support, campus involvement, and most importantly, long-lasting friendships.
As a lifelong commitment, Alpha Phi provides an unparalleled collegiate experience and highlights individual growth through friendship and sisterhood.

Our chapter holds two principal philanthropic events per year: HeartBeat Week and The Red Dress Gala. Both of these events fundraise to support women's cardiac health and the Alpha Phi Foundation.

Alpha Phi Foundation :
In 1956, Alpha Phi became one of the first women’s fraternities to establish a Foundation. It was created as a trust agreement to award scholarships and promote cardiac aid. Today, the original priorities hold true in our five vital programs:

- Supporting innovative leadership training and programming led by Alpha Phi Fraternity
- Awarding scholarships to undergraduate and graduate Alpha Phis
- Investing in the advancement of women’s heart health
- Helping members in need through the Forget Me Not Grant Fund
- Celebrating the forward-thinking women that shaped Alpha Phi by preserving our rich heritage


Alpha Phi also supports the Kali Reinhardt foundation. This foundation

The Kali Reinhardt Leadership Fund was created within the Alpha Phi Foundation to support the leadership development of the women of the Alpha Phi Epsilon Chapter. It honors Kali Reinhardt, a member of the Epsilon chapter from 2014-2018, who passed away in 2020. Kali held numerous leadership positions within the chapter, including Chapter President or “Prez Mama” as she was lovingly referred to. She was an outspoken advocate for female empowerment and pushed all the women in the chapter to be bold, support one another & take action on the things that matter.

In her honor, this fund provides retreats, educational seminars, Alpha Phi international events, and sisterhoods to invest in bold, brave female leaders like Kali. 

Her legacy will go on in perpetuity.

Students can get involved by going through Formal Recruitment or Informal Recruitment.

The mission of Anselm House is to promote the integration of the Christian faith with our studies at the university and to foster a community of students that seek lifelong engagement of faith and vocation.

We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord over every aspect of Creation, including our fields of study—whether it be business, law, medicine, STEM, or liberal arts.

We believe the rich intellectual and moral resources of the Christian tradition crucially transform how we:

- pursue our academic studies
- understand ourselves, our vocations, and our society
- engage with the broader university community.

We view ourselves as a resource to other campus ministries, aiming to help students investigate the Christian faith deeply and bring the Truth, Beauty, and Goodness of Christ into the University.

We hope to promote the health of the Christian presence on campus as a whole so that the light of Christ may be seen within the public sphere of the University of Minnesota. Anselm House desires to see students formed into the image of Christ in their character and all of life.

We recognize that our mission is subordinate and complementary to the mission of the Church. We seek to come alongside local churches in preparing future Christian leaders, cultivating an ecumenical (i.e., across denominations) community that helps form students' character in preparation for future callings.

As the "student arm" of Anselm House, Anselm House Students (#2295), we seek to engage the university student community in the mission of Anselm House.

We organize weekly by-students, for-students programming (Fridays@4), where we bring in Christian leaders who speak to the theme of "connecting faith and knowledge with all of life."

We've also organized more light-hearted events, like game nights to foster community and connection, or excursions in nature, where we can discuss our faith and our lives while taking in the natural beauty around us.

Any undergraduate or graduate student at the University of Minnesota can get involved! We invite you to visit our study center, Melrose Station (720 Washington Ave SE), open weekdays from 10am to 5:30pm. Stop by for a place to study, make new friends, and learn more about events and opportunities happening at Anselm House.

Welcome to Books & Beyond!

We’re always down to talk about books, and that’s a big part of our club, but we do so much more too. Every month we hold two meetings: one to discuss a book together and one to do a fun activity. We pick from different genres, authors, and styles, so that everyone has the chance to find something for them—whether it be a long-time favorite or a pleasant new discovery.

If books aren't really your thing, you might enjoy our second type of monthly meeting, where we meet up to watch a movie, play a game, or just hang out together. More than just a place for dispassionate analysis, we aim to create a caring community.

We also seek to engage with the wider community of Minneapolis, helping to support an exploration of literature and a love of reading however we can. by holding volunteering events in the cities.

All meetings are voluntary; we really just want everyone to have a good time! We know the school year can get super busy, so even if you don’t have time to read the book of the month, or you only read part of it, you are welcome at all meetings. If you don’t want to talk, that’s okay too. This is meant to be fun, so feel free to participate in the club however would be best for you.

Our sorority was founded on the ideals of scholarship, sisterhood, and service, which Gamma Phi sisters still live by today. We are the first women's organization to call itself a sorority, the term that is now used for many Greek woman's organizations. As an organization, we strive to build confident women of character who celebrate sisterhood and make a difference in the world around us. We aim to inspire and promote the highest type of womanhood.


Gamma Phi Beta is committed to a high level of academic achievement. Our organization has a scholarship program that provides incentives to members who meet our academic standards. As members of Gamma Phi Beta, we put academics first and we hold ourselves to high standards of academic excellence. To help support everyday academic achievements, our house offers two 24-hour quiet study rooms.

Gamma Phi Beta also provides its members with the opportunity to serve as leaders within the chapter, within the Greek community, as well as within the University community. Within the chapter, members are encouraged to hold leadership positions in one of seven departments: administration, financial, education, membership, public relations, Panhellenic affairs, or BEDI (Belonging, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion). Holding positions within the chapter gives members the opportunity to give back to our organization, in addition to building life-long skills by learning from their experiences in the positions they hold.
