Our Values as a Fraternity and Sorority Community

Scholarship

Fraternity and sorority students are committed to excellence in scholarship. Each fraternity and sorority sets a requirement for chapter members to maintain a certain GPA in order to remain active and participate in fraternity/sorority events.

Leadership

Joining a fraternity or sorority is an excellent way to sharpen your leadership skills. Fraternity and sorority students are leaders by serving their organization as an executive board member, a committee member or chairperson. Greeks are also involved across campus as members of the Fraternity and Sorority Events Committee, Orientation Student Coordinators, Orientation Leader Team, Student Government Association and more!

Service

Fraternity and sorority students are committed to service toward their organization's national philanthropy and local community. Fraternity and sorority groups complete hundreds of hours of community service each semester and participate in Greekwide service projects during the annual Greek Week.

Community

Brotherhood and sisterhood in a fraternity and sorority community are strong bonds that tie together diverse groups of individuals through much more than just wearing the same letters. Once you are a member, you are a member for life. With alumni groups throughout the world, after graduation you can still enjoy brotherhood and sisterhood activities, and find an instant support group – no matter where you go.
