Brotherhood and sisterhood are among the founding principles of all fraternities and
sororities. The bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood are life-long. Joining a Greek-letter
organization results in an extended family, both on-campus and across the nation.
The entire fraternity and sorority community collectively donates time, money, and
effort to service projects. Each individual chapter also raises awareness and money
for their own philanthropies throughout the year. On a national level, we are the
largest network of young volunteers in the United States. We provide 10 million hours
of volunteer service a year. We mentor at-risk students, raise funds for medical research,
offer aid at senior citizen facilities, build homes for the poor and collect food
for the homeless. Our emphasis on service learning prepares members for a lifetime
of community involvement.
Fraternities and sororities are the most successful leadership development program
for college students. Financial management, conflict resolution, public relations,
effective goal setting and basic democratic principles are everyday lessons for our
members. Comprehensive leadership programs teach values-based management skills and
members graduate with the management and interpersonal skills needed to excel in today's
society.
Our community promotes academic success through chapter-based scholarship programs.
There is a minimum GPA for membership, and incentives encourage chapters to maintain
a cumulative average higher than the all-university GPA. Fraternity men and sorority
women consistently do better academically than the average WCU student.
