The Greek community at UB is a constant opportunity to make new friends and try new experiences. Scholarship One of the main purposes of Greek-letter organizations is to promote academic excellence. The Scholastic Initiative program recognizes Greek organizations for their academic accomplishments by providing the the ranked, individual and chapter QPAs for the University Community and the National headquarters for each organization. The Order of Omega is a national Greek honor society. The Mu Alpha chapter at UB recognizes those students who have obtained a high standard of scholarship and leadership in Greek and campus activities.
Most individual chapters offer their own programs to support and encourage academic achievement.
Philanthropy UB Greeks are involved in a variety of philanthropic or community service events, the largest being our continued support of The Buffalo News Kid's Days to benefit Children's Hospital. Fraternities and sororities pride themselves in their active role for many charities in the Buffalo area. Leadership Members of the UB Greek community are leaders throughout campus and student organizations. Involvement in fraternities and sororities provides students with unique opportunities to develop leadership skills such as time management, team work, networking, meeting procedures, recruitment, delegation, and budgeting. These skills will continue to benefit students long after they graduate.
