Historically, Greek-letter organizations were founded on the principles of academic success and camaraderie. Today, our Greek-letter organizations continue to strive for academic excellence. Our members realize that academic achievement is the main priority of UMKC students. Chapters promote scholarship by providing academic resources for their members including tutoring, academic advisors, study groups, and scholarships. Chapter members know the importance of helping new students to adjust to University academics. |
| Many chapters have a rewards system based on GPA. Prospective members must meet a minimum GPA in order to be initiated and then must maintain a minimum GPA to remain an active member. |

Fraternity and sorority life provides students with a variety of leadership opportunities. Members may participate in fraternity or sorority governance as a chapter officer, or by serving on one of the many committees each chapter maintains. In addition, leadership programs and conferences within each fraternity and sorority at the local, regional and national level also provide an opportunity for members to sharpen their leadership skills. |

The Greek community addresses the needs of the Kansas City and University communities by sponsoring service and philanthropic projects. Each chapter dedicates itself to worthy local causes and international philanthropies, donating their time and fund-raising efforts to help others. The ability to touch the lives of others through your efforts will undoubtedly be one of the more memorable experiences you will have as a member of a fraternity or sorority. |
| This past year our Greek community donated thousands of volunteer hours providing services and funding for local charitable organizations such as Special Olympics, American Heart Association, Children's Miracle Network, and the Salvation Army. |

Members of the Greek community are exposed to many different personalities, interests, and challenges beneficial for social growth, while forming lifelong friendships. The bonds you develop with other members in your chapter are more than just friendships. Members support each other through challenges, and upperclass brothers and sisters encourage and foster growth in new members. Friendships developed in college will continue to flourish even after you graduate. |
| Every chapter has an alumni network to assist members in adjusting to new communities, finding employment, or just to offer personal friendship based on the common experience of membership in your organization. |
