Student life UW-La Crosse offers over 175 different student organizations in a wide range of areas, including academic, religious, cultural, athletic, political, social, and other organizations. Intramural sports programs are also available to students. The Physical Education Club, which was formed in 1912, is the longest continuously operating organization at the school. Greek life plays a small role at UWL. Only about 1% of men and 1% of women in the student body are members of a social fraternity or sorority. The six social fraternities represented on campus are Delta Sigma Phi, Sigma Tau Gamma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Chi Phi, Lambda Chi Alpha, and Kappa Sigma; while the three sororities represented are Alpha Xi Delta, Tri Sigma, and Alpha Phi. Delta Sigma Phi is the only Greek organization on campus with a fraternity house. The Eta Rho chapter of the Delta Sigma Pi professional business fraternity is a coed option for students of the College of Business Administration. Media The Racquet Press is UWL's student news source. The paper, which began in 1910, contains student-produced articles about campus, community, state, and national events. The Racquet Press is composed of five major sections: news, sports, letters to the editor, photo series, and humans of UWL. The majority of The Racquet Press''' budget is contributed via student fees or from advertising.
