What is a sorority?A sorority is a social organization of women that are brought together by a common goal: a strive for higher womanhood. Sorority sisters are brought together through the campus to which they attend, and find a bond that lasts a life time. This bond is created through traditions, volunteerism, and personal growth. Most members refer to their active years of sisterhood to be responsible for a considerable amount of positive change within themselves.Not only does becoming a member of a national sorority provide you with many local sisters, but it also provides you with sisters throughout the country. A national sorority is one who has many chapters at campuses throughout the country as well as in Canada.

Being in a sorority/fraternity is about making friendships that will last far beyond your college years, while enhancing your personal development. You will do this by committing to our ideals of scholarship, leadership, and service. Being Greek means being respected for your individuality, while being part of a brotherhood of individuals who share the same goals and values. Your sisters/brothers are there to support you, making your transition to college easy and enjoyable. Greek individuals comprise only 2% of the population of the United States. However, this 2% comprises a very successful group of individuals: This does not mean that if you join a fraternity or sorority, you will automatically be successful. It does mean that the skills and experiences gained while in a fraternity or sorority can help put you on a path toward success. You still have to get there through personal effort.
