Campus Life
Stephens is one of four women's colleges, along with Bennett College, Spelman College, and Brenau University, to have sororities on its campus. Sigma Sigma Sigma and Kappa Delta, both of which are National Panhellenic Conference sororities, have on-campus chapters. The sororities are governed by the Panhellenic Council and the Junior Panhellenic Council. Stephens students can also join historically Black or Asian sororities at the nearby University of Missouri campus. 8% of students are members of on-campus sororities.
Aside from the sororities, there are about 45 on-campus organizations Stephens students can join. These include affiliates of the College Democrats and College Republicans, religious groups like the Catholic Student Association, Finding Alternative Religions, Stephens Christian Fellowship Organization, as well as (through neighbor MU) Hillel, and a Model United Nations.
There are also about a dozen academic honor societies students can join: Mortar Board a nation wide senior honor society, Psi Chi, Alpha Lambda Delta the exclusive freshman honor society, Sigma Tau Delta the English honor society, Tri-Beta, Alpha Epilon Rho, Sigma Beta Delta, Chi Tau Epsilon, Kappa Delta Pi, Phi Alpha Delta, and Pi Phi Rho.
The student newspaper, Stephens Life, is released twice each month.
The student/faculty literary magazine, Harbinger, is released once each spring during the traditional Harbinger Night celebration.
Stephens College also holds the distinction of being the location of the Alpha Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society of the Two-Year College, despite the fact that Stephens College is no longer a two-year institution.
Stephens College also owns radio station KWWC-FM, "Sweet 90.5".

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Undershaft: Alcohol is a very necessary article. It heals the sick—Barbara: It does nothing of the sort. Undershaft: Well, it assists the doctor: that is perhaps a less questionable way of putting it. It makes life bearable to millions of people who could not endure their existence if they were quite sober. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
