Frequently Asked Questions

What do sororities and fraternities do?

• Provide an academic support system
• Develop students' leadership potential through involvement in committees and executive board positions
• Offer experience in managing budgets, event planning, and group dynamics
• Provide networking opportunities with alumni in a variety of professions
• Participate in community service and volunteering projects

Will I have to spend a lot of time each week on fraternity or sorority related activities?

These organizations recognize that a University education is a student's number one priority. While each organization hosts a variety of activities and holds meetings each week, members are supportive of the variety of commitments students have to family, their studies, other organizations, spirituality, and employers. Fraternity and sorority leaders have similar obligations and can provide advice on time management so you can continue to be successful in all areas of your life. The more your student puts into the chapter, the more they will get out of being a member.
