Community Service
As a member of the Greek community, you will be able to help change and shape the community around you. With philanthropy being one of the main pillars of many Greek organizations, community service and volunteering are at the forefront of Greek life activities. The Greek system is the largest network of volunteers in the US, with members donating over 10 million hours of volunteer service each year.

Culture & Unity
Spreading culture is another benefit to joining a Greek organization; specifically one based on culture. As a sister, you will have the opportunity to bond with other women who share a passion for spreading or learning about our different cultures and backgrounds. Although our roots are South Asian based, We are not exclusive and promote diversity. Additionally, sororities often unite and create strong relations on the basis of culture.

Leadership . Career Networking . Academic Excellence
LeadershipSororities and fraternities are built upon creating strong future leaders. Over 85% of the student leaders on some 730 campuses are involved in the Greek community. There are an abundance of opportunities available to take ownership of your organization on a local and/or national level. As a self-regulating organization, these leadership opportunities allow sororities to build strong and ethical women leaders.

Academic ExcellenceThe academic portion of your university career is one significant determinant in your future success. A primary purpose of the sorority community is to encourage and develop high scholastic achievement among its members. Several factors contribute to this academic atmosphere, including peer tutoring, upperclassman counseling, leadership training, chapter study hours, and many more. These all will help new students become more familiar to the longer and more intense studying that college requires over time.

Social Activities
Being able to have a separate life other than meeting the demands of the classroom is one of the benefits of the Greek community. Throughout the year a Greeks will participate in many social events such as Homecoming, Parent’s Weekend, dinner dances, backyard barbecues, Greek Week, Formals, and so much more. These events offer you a good time and a great opportunity to meet and interact with members from other organizations on campus. These social activities are not required, but for those of us who enjoy a good social setting, there is no comparison anywhere to the variety, scope, and just plain fun of Greek social events.

Athletics
Some of our local chapter and charter members participate in the numerous competitive sports through intramurals and Greek tournaments. If you are into sports, some times it can be difficult to get a group of people on your own to play intramural teams, yoga, and outdoor activities together with a busy college schedule. Greek life offers all of this along with the pride of sportsmanship, team spirit, and competition. It is a good outlet when things get stressful.
