The three-day weekend in the Spring semester is spent discovering and challenging individual and community-wide strengths and weaknesses, as well as developing a plan of action to bring back to the USD community. This retreat works at inspiring audacity in each indivual leader and challenging them to apply what they learn to their chapters and other campus communities as a team.

Undergraduate Interfraternal Institute (UIFI): UIFI is an optional six-day conference taking place in the summer, and geared around bringing together the top leaders of each campus across the nation to take a focused look at specifically Greek-related issues.
