Primarily they focus on academic, community, social, and leadership development. Chances are a sorority will help you polish what skills and talents you bring to it. Membership in a sorority is a very rewarding experience and hazing of any kind would undermine everything a sorority is promoting. If a member was ever exposed to activity that may be construed as hazing she should bring it to the attention of chapter leaders, advisors or the UT Panhellenic Advisor. Sororities promote and reflect a strong commitment to academics.
All chapters have academic success programs for their members.
As long as you keep a balance in your life and academics as a priori ty, involvement in a sorority should not adversely effect your grades. We have 14 NPC and 4 NPHC sororities on campus. They are governed by different national councils to meet the di fferent needs of their organizations. Locally, all women's sororities are governed by the UT Panhellenic Council. While both groups promote the development of women, NPHC groups also have a historical purpose to uplift the African American community.
