Joining a Greek organization can offer many opportunities that students might not otherwise have. Through being a member of a fraternity or sorority they have many leadership opportunities including the chance to serve on their chapter’s executive board, to be a part of our governing councils, hold chair positions in their chapter or join committees in the community. All of our chapters are dedicated to service and philanthropy which teaches members the importance of giving back to the community both locally and globally. Finally, academics are an integral part of the fraternity/sorority experience. Fraternity and sorority members on average have a higher GPA than non-members.
Chapters at the University of North Georgia utilize many different entities to support their mission and purpose. Many of our chapters are part of a national organization which means that they have a national office and staff that assist in the development of the membership and organization. All chapters have alumni support and involvement which assist in the day-to-day operations and guidance of the chapter. Chapters at the University of North Georgia have a responsibility to the policies and procedures of both their National Organization or local policies and the University policies. The Fraternity and Sorority Life staff works in partnership with the National Organizations, alumni, and advisors to ensure that the organizations are operating at the highest level.
