Strong Foundations. Future Leaders.
The UA Fraternity & Sorority Community has over 100 years of building local and global leaders. How do we do it? Through the foundation set by the four pillars of fraternity and sorority membership.
Academics
Academic excellence is a vital aspect of fraternity and sorority membership at the University of Arizona. Scholastic standards are important for each chapter and the community as a whole. Programming, incentives, recognition and ongoing support help fraternity and sorority
members achieve academic success. Academic achievement is the reason students are at the University of Arizona: fraternities and sororities are designed to help their members meet that goal.
By the Numbers:
Over 75% of UA fraternity and sorority members have a GPA above the all undergraduate average.
UA Fraternity and Sorority members are retained (stay in school) at least a 10% higher rate than their non-Greek peers.
Leadership
Strong Foundations. Future Leaders. This is the UA fraternity and sorority way. Developing leaders today for life after college is an important part of Greek involvement. Fraternity and sorority members participate in a variety of programs that provide leadership development. There are many ways to be a leader in UA’s Greek community, including chapter or council officer positions, national or regional leadership conferences, campus-based leadership opportunities and committee involvement.
By the Numbers:
Since its founding 62% of ASUA (student government) Presidents have been fraternity and sorority members including the first ever female president alongside her female Vice President.
37 UA Buildings are named after Fraternity and Sorority members.
Service
Giving back to the local, national, and global community is a key component of the fraternity and sorority experience. Members are provided with opportunities to participate in hands-on volunteer work and implement philanthropic events to raise money for charitable causes. The opportunities ensure that fraternity and sorority members will have an impact on their community and develop lifelong habits of giving back.
By the Numbers:
The UA Fraternity and Sorority Community gives about 35,000 hours each year to the community.
The UA Fraternity and Sorority Community donates over $130,500 to philanthropic causes each year.
Friendship
Joining a fraternity or sorority is about building lifelong relationships that extend beyond ordinary friendships. Bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood are formed within an organization and provide Fraternity and Sorority members with a home away from home, mentorship, career networking and a sense of community at a large university. Fraternity and sorority members enjoy lifelong connections that can provide support and celebration in life’s significant moments.
