| WHAT ARE SORORITIES ALL ABOUT? |
What are sororities all about, anyway?
Why would a young woman want to belong to one?
What can they offer?
A sorority is a group of women bound together by common principles, goals, and
experiences. Probably the most important thing to a young woman entering college is
the “home away from home” environment that sorority membership offers. Immediately
upon joining a sorority, you belong to a group of women who are interested in you and
your well-being. During the recruitment process, you determine the group that best
shares your goals and ideals...the women with whom you want to share friendships.
Other immediate benefits include academic support and opportunities for leadership
development and community service. When you pledge yourself to a sorority, you enter
a short period of time for learning about your sorority's history and the expectations of
its members. At the end of this period, your sorority's highest ideals and symbolism will
be revealed to you at your initiation.
As a member of a sorority, you'll enjoy many experiences with your sorority sisters.
You'll attend sorority events, theme socials with other Greeks groups, Greek Week,
and sisterhood activities. You'll have support in developing study skills and gaining
academic achievement. Your exceptional successes might be recognized through
scholarships, campus awards and chapter acknowledgements.
Leadership opportunities are endless. There are many positions within your sorority,
from a committee member on up to chapter president. Your sisters can also open many
doors for you in campus involvement. As a member of a National Panhellenic
Conference (NPC) sorority, you'll have the chance to meet sisters from all over the
state and the country. Your sorority chapter will participate in campus and regional
Panhellenic activities, where you'll work with other sororities to promote the Greek
system.
Sorority membership means friendships for a lifetime. After college, sisters are
welcomed into alumnae organizations. Alumnae organizations include members of
collegiate chapters from all over the country. Alumnae organizations continue the
goals of promoting personal and professional development in a social atmosphere.
Sororities and sorority membership mean many things to many people. No other type of
organization can offer a young woman so much during her college days and beyond.
Why wouldn't a young woman want to belong to one?
Sorority membership helps keep female students in college.
Sorority members perform at a higher level in the classroom than students not
associated with Greek life.
Alumnae sorority members achieve greater success beyond their college years.
Sorority alumnae contribute more to their alma maters and have a stronger commitment
to their universities. Greeks play a bigger role in civic groups, religious organizations
and volunteer activities than non-Greeks. They're also more likely to stay active after
graduation. Three-fourths of the members of the U.S. Congress are Greek.
