===Greek life=== [[File:Water Tower, UC Davis(cropped).jpg|thumb|upright|UC Davis' iconic water tower]] Social fraternities and sororities have been a part of the University of California at Davis since 1913. Approximately 8% of the university's undergraduate students are involved in the school's fraternities and sororities. One sorority, [[Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi]], was featured during the first season of the MTV reality show ''[[Sorority Life]]''. There are currently 13 social fraternities that are a part of the Interfraternity Council (IFC) in Davis.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ucdifc.com/new-page-1/http://www.ucdavis-ifc.com/#!about/vstc7=page-3/vstc5=chapters |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200809161425/http://www.ucdifc.com/new-page-1/http://www.ucdavis-ifc.com/#!about/vstc7=page-3/vstc5=chapters |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 9, 2020 |title=Interfraternity Council |publisher=Interfraternity Council at UC Davis |access-date=October 12, 2015 }}</ref> There are currently 11 sororities that are a part of the Panhellenic Council.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ucdavispanhellenic.org/#!chapter-profiles/c10im |title=Panhellenic Council |publisher=ucdpanhellenic.com |access-date=January 8, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140305170120/http://www.ucdavispanhellenic.org/#!chapter-profiles/c10im |archive-date=March 5, 2014 |url-status=usurped }}</ref> The Phi chapter of [[Alpha Gamma Rho]] was locally established May 1, 1923, at UC Davis, making it the first continuously running national fraternity on campus. They started as the Kappa Tau fraternity, which was the first agricultural fraternity on campus. Many campus buildings are named after alumni of Alpha Gamma Rho such as Emil Mrak (Mrak Hall, Registrar's office), Orville Thompson (Thompson Hall, Segundo student housing), and Dean De Carli (the De Carli room, 2nd floor MU), Mel Olson Scoreboard ([[Aggie Stadium (UC Davis)|Aggie Stadium]]), and many more. The AGR Hall is an event space located inside the Buehler Alumni / Visitor Center and is commonly rented out as a conference room or banquet hall. There are both national and local fraternities and sororities at UCD with diverse backgrounds and histories.<ref>{{cite web | title=Greek Life | publisher=Student Programs & Activities Center, UC Davis | url=http://greeklife.ucdavis.edu/ | access-date=September 3, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121016181521/http://greeklife.ucdavis.edu/ | archive-date=October 16, 2012 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
