WELCOME
TO GREEK AFFAIRS
BE…A
Leader – Being Greek means being a leader. Membership
in a fraternity or sorority provides students with the opportunity
to develop leadership skills through chapter leadership, event
planning, leadership conferences and nationally recognized leadership
development programs, and Greek membership also serves as a springboard
for involvement in other areas of campus life. A majority of Student
Government Senators, student ambassadors and student orientation
assistants are members of a Greek organization at MTSU.
BE…A
Scholar – Being Greek means being a scholar. Greek
organizations have a number of academic development programs for
both new members and older members. Greek new members have access
to chapter study sessions, study files, chapter mentoring programs,
and increased faculty interaction outside the classroom. Fraternity
and sorority members at MTSU consistently outperform non-Greek
students in the classroom. The all-Greek GPA at MTSU for Spring
2006 was a 2.803, compared to an all non-Greek GPA of 2.775
BE…A
Servant – Being Greek means being a servant. Greek
students at MTSU performed over 36,000 hours of community service
last year and raised more than $67,000 for various philanthropies.
MTSU Greeks work with a number of community service agencies, including
the Boy’s and Girl’s Club, Habitat for Humanity, the
American Heart Association, the Arthritis Foundation and many others.
BE…A
Brother/Sister – Being Greek means being a brother
or a sister. Greek organizations were founded based on a set of
shared values, and Greek students share a common bond through
adherence to those values. Greek organizations share bonding experiences
through social functions, intramural sports and participation
in a number of campus activities, such as homecoming. The development
of meaningful relationships based on a set of shared values has
been the focal point of Greek organizations since their inception
over 150 years ago.

Value to Your College Experience.

that takes place through involvement in a Greek organization

and risk management policies
-
The management of Greek Row, a state of the art Greek living/learning
community housing eight MTSU fraternities
-

representatives
