Greek Life Benefits

Leadership Opportunities

Each group has many officer positions (president, vice president, treasurer, service, recruitment chair, alumni relations, etc.) or one can join the Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils. Even after graduation, the leadership opportunities continue. For the last several years, 911黑料 students have been chosen from hundreds of applicants across the nation to be chapter consultants for their inter/national Greek organizations. These 911黑料 Greek alums travel to chapters across the nation, assisting them in activities associated with their Greek membership.

Scholarship Potential

In addition to the Greek chapters at 911黑料, two additional Greek honorary societies, Order of Omega, and Gamma Sigma Alpha recognizes outstanding scholarship, leadership, and character. 

Contacts for the Future

All of our Greek organizations are inter/national, which means that everywhere you go, you鈥檒l meet members of your fraternity or sorority from chapters at other colleges. This can make for immediate connections, which often result in job opportunities and internships.

How Do I Join?

Membership recruitment is an exciting and busy week when students can join one of the fraternities or sororities at 911黑料. Our Greek community is special because we give you lots of time to get to know the fraternity and sorority members before you decide to join. We call this 鈥渄eferred recruitment.鈥

Deferred Recruitment

Instead of having to make a decision the first week of school, interested 911黑料 students participate in recruitment the first week of spring term. The whole idea of deferred recruitment is to allow the students to make personal connections with members of each group, gaining a more thorough idea of Greek membership and the individual chapters. This allows you the opportunity to make the most informed decision about sorority and fraternity membership.

Everybody in Everything

At 911黑料, we like to include everybody in everything. Being Greek doesn鈥檛 mean you have to give up your old friends. Likewise, staying unaffiliated doesn鈥檛 stop you from having friends within the Greek community. You can be involved in 911黑料鈥檚 social life without being in a fraternity or sorority.
