Friendship At Valparaiso University fraternities and sororities enable men and women to establish strong friendships, often lasting beyond the collegiate years. Affiliation provides students with an opportunity to interact with members of all ages, and meet people within their Greek community and other student organizations.
Membership also offers students a network of support while making the transition to college life.
Leadership and Involvement Fraternities and sororities are self-governing bodies in which the members take on the responsibilities and offices of the chapter. This hands-on experience teaches leadership skills, and allows them to interact and make connections with other organizations and departments on campus. This experience is valuable for the future in that the student learns the importance of working with others, and responsibility for their actions. The Order of Omega, a Greek Honor Society, recognizes a select number of Greek members who excel in leadership, involvement, academics, and service to the community. Service One of the most gratifying aspects of fraternity and sorority life is the sense of satisfaction and pride that comes from involvement in community service.
