It's Great to be Greek at UE!

If you are fortunate enough to be a member of one of UE's eleven Greek life organizations, then what I'm about to tell you is no surprise...it's Great to be Greek at UE!  If you're getting ready to head to Evansville this fall then I encourage you to examine the many benefits of UE Greek Life!

We're about Leadership! UE Greeks participate in many other campus student organizations and take on leadership roles inside and outside the Greek Community.  SGA, Athletics, Student Activities Board, National Society for Leadership and Success, Students in Leadership, UE Leadership Academy and many more all count Greek students as members and many are in leadership roles.

We're about Scholarship! The All Greek GPA has been above a 3.0 since before 1996.  In Spring 2012 10 out of 11 organizations have a GPA above a 3.0 and our community averages were well above the all-student averages.  Now that is something to be proud of!

All Greek-Female: 3.3

All Greek-3.25

All Female Student: 3.18

All Greek-Male: 3.16

All Student: 3.04

All Male Student: 2.84

We're about Service & Philanthropy!  In 2011-2012 the UE Greek Community raised $52, 727.40 for local and national philanthropic causes.  We also completed 11, 638.5 hours of community service this year. 

We're about Social Interaction!  One of the best parts of UE Greek Life are the opportunities to meet new people.  From Welcome Week Initiatives to Homecoming, to Musical Madness, Greek Week, and Intramurasl, there are a ton of opportunities to make new friends and strengthen the relationships you already have.  Plus there are the always fun date parties, formals and semi-formals and mixers as well!

We're about Lifelong Brotherhood and Sisterhood! When you join a fraternity or sorority you are not just joining a student organization, you are joining an international family.  Fraternity and sorority membership is a lifetime commitment with lifelong benefits.  In the end these relationships are strongest because they are based on shared values that are reaffirmed through a shared ritual.
