They also provide services to the school and community. Approximately 25 percent of the Union's female student body are members of a sorority. The houses range in size from 60 to 100 members.
Most sororities have on campus housing.
Houses typically hold meetings once a week, in addition to many informal gatherings and social events. Each year, the sororities raise money for local and national philanthropies, support college events, and donate time in various ways to the community. The Panhellenic Council is the governing body of the sororities. The Panhellenic Council, which consists of four rotating officer positions and two representatives from each sorority, has established rules and regulations that all sororities must abide by during rush and throughout the year. Panhel organizes formal rush which takes place winter term, during a week determined by the Student Affairs Council.
