Belonging
In a fast-moving, high-tech and sometimes competitive collegiate environment, fraternities
and sororities offer an oasis of friendship and support. Our brothers and sisters
care for us, they are always there for us, and they are our lifelines through college
and throughout life. Oh, and they’ll be the highlight of some of our most fun and

Financial Aspect
Becoming a part of a fraternity or sorority involves a financial commitment to cover the expenses associated with participation in chapter activities, membership fees and member benefits
Academic Focus
Emphasizing academic success is a priority across all fraternities and sororities. Every chapter establishes a minimum GPA requirement for both joining and sustaining membership within the organization. Moreover, each chapter appoints or elects an officer specifically tasked with connecting members to campus resources, aiming to support their academic excellence.
The time dedication fluctuates across chapters and among individual members. New members should anticipate a higher time investment during the initial semester of their membership, particularly as they participate in their new member education or intake program. This phase is dedicated to gaining knowledge about the organization’s history, chapter operations, and rituals, all while honing leadership, time management and academic success skills.
Despite being time-intensive, membership in our chapters is designed not to impede
academic commitments. Members
can enhance their experience by assuming leadership roles, contributing to chapter
committees or seeking elected positions on their chapter’s executive boards.
