JWU Providence : Greek Core Values

Greek Core Values

Being a member of a fraternity or sorority is about making lasting friendships, committing to a common set of ideals and enhancing your personal development. It’s also about being part of a brotherhood and sisterhood where individuals share common core values.

Friendship is the principal foundation upon which all Greek organizations are built. As a member of a fraternity or sorority, you’ll meet students from disparate backgrounds and all corners of the globe. Together, you’ll explore new interests, learn new skills and forge friendships that will last a lifetime.

Scholarship Greek organizations encourage and develop high scholastic achievement. Strong academics are encouraged through peer tutoring, counseling, special scholarships and chapter study hours.

Leadership Through Greek involvement, you’ll develop leadership skills that will benefit you long after graduation. You’ll learn practical skills like coordinating events, managing budgets, running effective meetings and motivating others.

You may also hold office on an executive board, participate in committees or represent your chapter on campus boards and governing councils.

Philanthropy One of the advantages of being a part of a sorority or fraternity is the opportunity to help others in need. Greek organizations sponsor many philanthropic and service events that benefit campus, city and statewide organizations.
