Its prominence began with the return of the soldiers from World War II and, unfortunately, spread rapidly. The problem is one of concern nationwide. At Plattsburgh State University, we are doing our best to eradicate this menace to quality fraternal life. Fortunately, most of the collegians themselves recognize that hazing had no place in fraternities and sororities and are making efforts to eliminate it. All acts of hazing by any organization, member or alumni are specifically forbidden and will not be tolerated.
Scholarship is one of the most important aspects of college life.
The Greek system encourages academic excellence. Each chapter has an individual scholarship program to promote studies. All Greek organizations are mandated by the university to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.5. All of the groups look for and need varying personalities and talents. Greek groups give the students an opportunity to be themselves, to pursue their own goals and yet share their talents with others.
