With 95 years of history to draw from, UM's Greek community has an array of alumni who are there to help. Believing in giving back to the community, your child will have numerous opportunities to participate in helping young children, the elderly, the disabled and their fellow citizens. The most immediate benefit for your son or daughter is the activities and social events sponsored by each chapter. Whether it is a house game, or a Greek Weekend event, your son or daughter will be around a group of students who know how to enjoy themselves responsibly. Western Montana is ripe with outdoor recreational activities and there are always groups of Greeks going skiing, white water rafting, hiking or bicycling.
Students elect their own officers from their members.
Each member learns cooperation and planning skills. Alumni act as advisors to the officers and general chapter members. All of the sororities have live-in house parents who usually run the kitchen and the house. Each group is governed by a national headquarters, which establishes chapter regulations and offers advice and direction through professional staff that visit the chapter at least once a year. Additionally, the University employs a Greek Life Advisor, who works directly with the governing Greek councils, as well as the individual chapters, as needed.
