Greek Life is...

Lifetime friendship - but even more it is a sisterhood which soars high above the casual friendships. It is often too intangible to explain.

Diversity of membership which provides for a broader understanding and acceptance of personality types and backgrounds.

Personal development. One can only develop fully when she has an opportunity to interact with others...the education of self in relation to others.

Broadening of dimensions in college and personal life, service to others, intellectual stimulation and encouragement, and cultural enrichment.

Ideals. Sororities embrace very basic ideals built on psychological and sociological concepts.

The pursuit of excellence. Excellence in responsible behavior and citizenship to combat the moral jungle. Membership is not for any and all - but for those who are willing to set common goals and aspirations. This produces pride and self-respect.

Leadership training. Students become actively involved in programs with particular interest in their needs. Taking a leadership position helps you to develop skills in organization, delegation, goal setting, and time management.

Philanthropy. In addition to helping those in need, participating in philanthropy projects gives you a better awareness of life and allows you to personally make a difference.

Responsibility to self, sisters, fraternity, university, and community. With these responsibilities, one develops pride in membership and an opportunity to "live beyond one's self."

Scholastic help. Sororities seek to help individuals develop scholastically to their utmost - providing encouragement, study facilities and upperclassmen who help as "tutors" if desired.

Individuality. Sororities encourage individuality - they do not breed conformity. Common purposes must be worked out, but creativity is always encouraged!
