Our Values

Scholarship

• We are committed to the attainment of personal and chapter academic goals. Through workshops, study partners, scholarship banquets and hands-on support, our members provide a disciplined and academically focused environment for their peers.
• The coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Affairs (FSA) encourages dedication to academic success and support by upholding FSA Minimum Expectations (PDF). 
• Members receive unique guidance from a faculty and staff advisor for their individual organizations. These advisors may provide support through presentations on study skills and time management, meet with new members to stress the importance of scholarship, and offer office hours to assist members when necessary.

Fellowship

Brotherhood and sisterhood are and have always been the cornerstones of fraternities and sororities.

Friendships that begin at spaghetti dinners or during late-night chats in your residence hall last for decades. We celebrate each other’s wins and provide support for the losses. We hold each other accountable when we make a mistake, but also help each other so that we can do and be better.

Brotherhood and sisterhood provide a global network of people determined to ensure growth throughout your lifetime membership.

Leadership

We offer optimal opportunities to develop leadership skills. You may think this means you have to take on a leadership role like the president or treasurer, but leadership development happens all throughout your experience, even in informal ways:

• Event planning
• Team management
• Personal and organizational budget development
• Social skills
• Time management
• Recruiting new members
