Individual chapters as well as the Office of the Dean of Students will recognize those fraternity and sorority members who excel scholastically. As you can see, scholarship is important to the Greek community. The fraternities and sororities on campus promote academics in a variety of ways. Many members of the UT Greek community are honor students, members of Phi Beta Kappa, scholarship recipients, Normandy Fellows, and Dean's Distinguished Scholars. Fraternities and sororities also provide ample opportunities for students to gain leadership skills.
New members have the opportunity to serve on a number of committees within the chapter.
Committee members and chapter officers are responsible for the operation of their chapter. In addition to chapter leadership positions, members have many other opportunities within the UT community . Over the years, Greek members have been recipients of the Parents' Association Outstanding Student award, the Ex-Students Association Presidential Leadership Awards, and the Dean's Dozen Award. Each semester thousands of fraternity and sorority members participate in a wide variety of community service projects. These projects take many forms and benefit many worthy causes.
