As members of our Panhellenic communities, our sororities/fraternities may each have their own distinct standards & principles. But we all share the same common ground when it comes to the values we believe in & strive to achieve each day: the five pillars of Greek life.
The first pillar is sisterhood. Joining a sorority/women’s fraternity also means becoming part of a family, discovering a home away from home which offers plenty of support, encouragement & guidance.
The second pillar is leadership. By going Greek, women not only discover their fullest potential & become all that they can be. They also are offered a variety of opportunities to refine & build on their leadership skills, to help them grow personally & as leaders in their college’s/university’s Greek system.
The third pillar is scholarship. Sororities/fraternities aren’t content to just place first priority on academics – they’re also steadfastly committed to academic excellence every step of the way through such vehicles as academic resources, study tables, scholarship awards & other incentives.
The fourth pillar is philanthropy/service. Through philanthropy & service, we’re serving as an inspiration to others around us as well as making a lasting impact for our campuses & communities. Also, we’re making a heartfelt difference for the better, for true good!!
The fifth pillar is social. True, sororities/fraternities may be about working hard & being serious but they’re also about having fun as well!! Besides having good times galore, women in sororities/fraternities create plenty of lasting & precious memories at mixers, formals, retreats & gatherings!!
