The Greek community is dedicated to building future leaders by providing a wealth of leadership opportunities. From social issues to academics, business to philanthropy, leaders are gaining valuable experience to help them in the future. Numerous opportunities are found within each fraternity and sorority, such as officers and chairpersons, committee members as well as in IFC and Panhellenic. Panhellenic and IFC consist of various officer positions and two delegates selected by their respective chapters to represent the interests of that group and form the voting membership of the councils. By encouraging a set of values that nourish decision making abilities and critical thinking, Greeks provide a forum for leadership and responsibility throughout the university.
Scholastic excellence is a central part of each chapter's goals.
Each group places a strong emphasis on creating an atmosphere conducive to high academic performance, as well as challenging each member to live up to his or her academic potential. Fraternities and sororities encourage individual members in their own areas of study and honor those who have attained academic achievement through initiating members into the Order of Omega, a Greek honor society. Each organization requires a specific GPA to join and stay active. The Greek community prides itself on community service participation. Philanthropy projects are events in which the Greek community as a whole or as individual chapters donate their time and effort to raise funds for a variety of worthwhile causes.
