Q: What are the benefits of joining a fraternity or sorority?
A:
Supportive friends, leadership opportunities, philanthropic
projects, community service, career opportunities, and becoming
part of a worldwide network. This only begins the description of
how being in a fraternity/sorority will positively affect your
life; and membership is for life!
Q: What is the policy on hazing?
A:
The University of North Carolina Charlotte has a strong,
zero-tolerance policy regarding hazing for all of its student
organizations. All members are educated on the dangers of such
practices on an on-going basis. Hazing, or any activity that
subjects members to harassment, ridicule, intimidation, physical
exhaustion, or mental distress is entirely contrary to the
purposes of the Greek Community and the University, and is not
tolerated.
Q: How will my grades be impacted by fraternity/sorority
membership?
A:
Ideally, they should shoot way up! Academics must be your first
priority. The fraternity/sorority can offer support in time
management, tutoring, study enhancement and incentives, and
class assistance.
Q: How much does it cost to join a fraternity or sorority?
A:
Each organization is self-supported through dues charged to all
members. In the first year of membership, a few one-time
expenses are assessed. After those initial payments are made,
the only usually expenses will be regular dues. If housing is
offered, lodging is competitive with other on-campus housing
options. Many chapters offer payment plans to assistant their
members.
Q: What is the time commitment for being involved with a
fraternity or sorority?
A:
Participating in any worthwhile activity always requires an
investment of one’s time. Research has shown that involved
college students are more likely to graduate and they report
greater satisfaction with their college experience. Members will
learn how to balance their academic, work, campus involvement,
and social commitments.
