Navigating the Housing Portal
The Housing Portal is an important interface for communication with our office. The Housing Portal is
ever-changing and will have pertinent links for the given time (e.g., Housing Selection, Early Check-in, Late
Check-out, Housing Assignments). In addition, there are links to the paper-based forms (e.g., Facility Room
Change, Housing Petition, Meal Plan Change).
The Housing Portal can be accessed by (1) Signing-in to InsidePacific, (2) Clicking ‘Enter the Housing
Portal’ (from the ‘Living’ tab) and (3) viewing the landing page.

apartment and its furnishings. This form will serve as a reference for cleaning, damage, and loss charges which

room and furnishings. You will have 48 hours to review the RCR/ACR for any discrepancies and return a copy
to your RA.

Your Roommate & Community

Community Living
The foundation of living in a residence hall, Greek, or apartment community is respecting the rights of
others. The eight actions identified below seriously infringe on the rights of other community members and
will not be tolerated. Violators may be evicted from on-campus housing, with no refunds, and may also be
subject to additional disciplinary action.
 Actions which endanger the health and safety of other persons.
 Providing a common source of alcohol in on-campus housing.
 Intentional damage or destruction of University or Housing property.
 Use or possession of explosives, firecrackers, firearms, explosive materials, or weapons of any kind in

campus housing.
 Sale, use, possession, or distribution of illegal drugs or narcotics.
 Throwing or dropping potentially dangerous objects out of windows.
 Misusing or tampering with fire safety equipment: fire alarms, smoke detectors, extinguishers, etc.
 Deliberately starting a fire in the residence halls, Greek facilities, or apartments.

Laundry Facilities
Washers and dryers are available in all residential communities at no additional cost. Your PacificCard is also
your laundry card.

Contacting your Roommate
Roommates are an exciting part of on-campus living. Having a roommate can enhance your college
experience. We encourage you to reach out to your roommate(s) once you receive contact information.
Online sources are a great way to start this conversation, but do not rely on online sources to tell you
everything. When you introduce yourself, you can share your likes, dislikes, and your fall class schedule.
This is an easy way to break the ice. You should also decide who is bringing what items to avoid having
two refrigerators or two TVs!

Communication is Key
Conflicts are bound to occur, even in the best roommate relationships. Do not be afraid of conflict. Resolving
conflicts can lead to a better relationship and a more harmonious environment. If problems between you and
your roommate do arise, you may find it helpful to follow these steps:
Define the problem. Take turns stating what is bothering you, how you feel about the problem, and what
you want.
Generate possible solutions. Once you agree on what the conflict is, take turns describing possible
solutions.
Decide on a mutually acceptable solution(s). Come to an agreement on one or more of the solutions and
commit to carrying them out. Can the solution work? Is it fair to both of you?
Implement the solution. Develop a plan of action to achieve the desired solution and set a time frame in
which to implement it.
Evaluate the result. Determine whether everyone is satisfied with the solution. If there are still problems,
try to make necessary changes.

Remember, all roommates must be willing to compromise in order to
find a viable solution. If a compromise seems impossible, don’t give up.
An objective third party may be needed for resolution. Your Resident
Assistant or Residence Director is available to help. Please feel free
to call on them!

Involvement Opportunities

Fraternity & Sorority Life

Social Greek organizations have existed on college campuses around the country for more than 200 years,
and continue to have a strong presence today, especially at Pacific. Traditions, rituals, and symbols may be
different among the various Greek organizations, but many continue to exist today with the same focus of
years past. Scholarship, community service, brother/sisterhood, and leadership development remain key
aspects in the success of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

Each campus has a unique representation of Greek organizations, and Pacific is no exception to this tradition.
Approximately 15% of Pacific students participate in a social Greek organization. The 12 organizations at
Pacific exist among three governing bodies: the Interfraternity Council, the Multicultural Greek Council, and
the Pacific Panhellenic Association. The organizations represented include:

Alpha Phi Beta Theta Pi
Delta Delta Delta Omega Delta Phi
Delta Gamma Pi Kappa Alpha
Gamma Alpha Omega Sigma Chi
Kappa Alpha Theta Theta Chi
Rho Delta Chi Xi Chi Sigma

IAMHOME NEWSLETTER For more information regarding Pacific’s social Greek organizations, please feel free to contact us at
(209) 946-3004, via email at [email protected], or visit our website at www.pacific.edu/greeklife.

Become a RA

Becoming a Resident Assistant is a great way to get involved. RAs receive a scholarship which assists with
room and board charges. To be considered for an RA position, you must have a 2.5 cumulative GPA and be at
least a sophomore. Applications and further information can be found online at www.pacific.edu/RAsearch.

Residence Hall Association (RHA)

The Residence Hall Association is the student government for all on-campus residence halls and apartment
communities. RHA conducts educational, social, cultural, and recreational programming for all the halls. Any-
one living in a residential facility belongs to RHA - that means you, your roommate and all your friends who
live in the halls. RHA is here to represent and entertain YOU!

National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH)

Another way to get involved in the residence halls is through the NRHH. NRHH is most known for recognizing
communities, faculty, staff, students, and programs each month through monthly awards. Local award
winners are submitted for regional and then national consideration within their category. Membership is
restricted to 1% of the residents with a minimum of 26 units, 2.5 cumulative GPA, and two semesters at
Pacific.
