This comprehensive program is designed to promote an understanding of leadership theory and research, skills and competencies which support leadership effectiveness, a more fully developed code of personal ethics, and an enhanced sense of lifelong commitment to social responsibility and citizenship. Many non-traditional students carry family and work responsibilities in addition to being students. The Office of Student Development and Services advocates better service to non-traditional students across campus and sets an example through services and support for these students. The N.S.O. web page provides useful information and convenient opportunities for networking and meeting other students. A sorority or fraternity is an organization whose members have chosen to establish a close affirmation and friendship with each other.
Membership helps to provide leadership opportunities and career preparation.
There are 16 sororities and fraternities to choose from at California University. Every chapter encourages and expects above average scholarship and participation in various activities which offer valuable experience. Community service is also encouraged. The decision to join a sorority or fraternity is up to the individual and should not be taken lightly. Rush is a series of open houses, informal gatherings, parties and other social events which potential members attend to help them choose membership in a particular fraternity or sorority.
