This process is called recruitment. Each sorority and fraternity has its own unique programs and strengths, yet all are based on the development of character, leadership, friendship, community service, and scholarship. Just like researching and choosing a college, each student should seek out the fraternity or sorority that best fits their own personality, needs, and desires. They will find there is a place for everybody in UNCW s eleven sororities and twelve fraternities. There will be fees for pledging and initiation in the first two semesters, and then manageable dues throughout active membership.
Most groups have similar costs.
Be supportive and learn as much as you can be asking questions of your student as they meet people through the recruitment process. Hazing is absolutely not tolerated, condoned, or accepted in the UNCW Greek community. University policies are very specific in prohibiting activities that could lead to such events.
