Leadership
Membership in a fraternity or a sorority provides
numerous opportunities for you to become involved in
leadership roles. You will have opportunities to hold
chapter offices and/or Greek Council positions.
Individual chapters hold various leadership programs
on both the local and national level. In addition, the
Greek community sponsors leadership workshops in
which all Greek members are encouraged to participate.
Each semester the Greek community sponsors a
nationally recognized speaker on issues affecting
Greek life or student life in general.
Many Greek members are involved in other campus
organizations such as student government, specialinterest
clubs and organizations, University Program
Council, recreational sports, and many others. These
organizations give Greek members another opportunity
to develop leadership skills.
Greeks make up 9% of the student body at UND. On
average, 80% of the 9% of Greek members are involved
in other campus organizations and leadership
opportunities.
Order of Omega is a Greek leadership honorary that
recognizes both academic achievement and outstanding
leadership. Members of this society are recognized
once they have attained junior or senior status,
have shown exceptional leadership, and maintained a
GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Scholarship
Scholarship, academics, and grades are the mainstays
of college life. Greek organizations at UND recognize
the importance of scholastics and encourage their
members to excel academically above all else.
Although the Panhellenic and Interfraternity Councils
do not require a specific grade point average to participate
in recruitment, many chapters have a minimum
grade point average requirement for joining.
Most chapters have national and local scholarships that
are awarded each year. Chapters also provide workshops,
tutoring, study sessions, quiet hours, available
study space, and computer access.
Gamma Sigma Alpha National Greek Academic
Honor Society promotes intellectual interaction between
Greek students and the community. This honor
society recognizes Greek members with a cumulative
GPA of 3.5 or above during their junior or senior year
or a GPA of 3.5 or higher in any semester of their
junior or senior year.
Fraternities and sororities maintain active alumni
relations, which provides many opportunities for
career networking. This alumni interaction can lead to
many possibilities when you are looking for internships
or job searching as an undergraduate or graduate.
Service and Philanthropy
Greek members interests and concerns go beyond the
confines of campus life. Each year chapters sponsor
activities to positively impact the local community and
raise funds for their philanthropies and help other
chapters with their philanthropies.
Chapters also promote projects such as canned food
drives, book drives, adopt-a-highway, and athletic
events. Each chapter at UND supports a different
local charity or service.
Many individual Greek men and women volunteer
their own time in local programs such as Adopt-a-
School, Children's Miracle Network's Dance Marathon,
the Salvation Army, and others.
Social
Sororities and fraternities offer a wide range of social
activities and programs for their members.
Individual chapters organize different social events
including formal dances, social functions with other
sororities and fraternities, parents' formals, date
parties, homecoming, and Greek Week activities.
Social events are a great way for members to take a
relaxing break from the daily routine of classes and
work and get together to meet new people and have a
good time.
Social Responsibility -
The Panhellenic and Interfraternity Council have
established a social responsibility policy to promote
responsibility in regards to the use of alcohol. All
members are expected to follow local and national
laws. Chapters also hold many events that do not
involve alcohol. |
