What Fraternities and Sororities Offer

At the most basic level, fraternities and sororities offer your student a small group of friends amid a larger university environment — fellow students that your student can bond with and share experiences with. But the benefits of fraternity and sorority life are quite far-reaching.

Fraternities and sororities provide students with opportunities for personal and professional growth. They promote enhanced academic achievement, leadership development, and increased participation in community service through philanthropic activities. Fraternities and sororities instill values of cooperation, mutual respect, and selflessness that will help to establish a pattern of lifelong service and continued success.
