远离家乡的家人.
圣澳门金沙赌城线上游戏 has seven local sororities and seven local fraternities that were all founded by 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 Students. The Greek system at 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 is full of a rich history that dates back more than 75 years.
Membership in a social fraternity or sorority is an enriching experience that offers:
- Personal, social, and emotional development
- 领导机会
- 一生的友谊
- 服务的机会
招聘
澳门金沙线上赌博官网有一个 deferred rush and new member orientation period, which helps students first adjust to 澳门金沙线上赌博官网’s rigorous academic life before they get involved in Greek life.
In order to join a social fraternity or sorority, first-year students must:
- Have completed at least 12 credit hours at 圣澳门金沙赌城线上游戏
- Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0(如果不是运动员)
- Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.6(如果是运动员).
Transfer students must have at least a sophomore standing to join a fraternity or sorority. The deferred rush system not only helps students focus on academics as they begin college, but also allows the students to meet the various Greek organizations without feeling pressure to commit right away.
新会员迎新
All 新会员迎新 programs are governed by several University and 希腊议会 policies, 例如:
- A 为期三周的最大 on all orientation programs
- A nine-hour hands-off period each day 在校期间
Orientation calendars are reviewed and approved by the Student Involvement Office. Check-ins with club presidents and new members occur routinely throughout the semester.
Anti-Hazing政策
The purpose of Orientation is to educate new members about their fraternity or sorority and to bond the new members with the entire club, not to create unequal power differentials within the organization. 像这样, there is zero tolerance for hazing or for violations of other University and 希腊议会 policies.

给父母的有用提示
Encourage 你的学生 to keep an 开放的头脑.
Students may hold different stereotypes about certain organizations or Greek life in general.
Encouraging 你的学生 to get to know fraternity and sorority members on an individual level is the best way to help them decide if they want to be involved with Greek Life.
支持 你的学生.
Students need your support throughout the process of recruitment and 新会员迎新. Be supportive and learn as much as you can about the community by asking questions of 你的学生 as they meet members in fraternities or sororities.
讨论财政 和你的学生.
Have a conversation about the financial obligations of fraternity or sorority membership before 你的学生 joins an organization.
Because the organizations at 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 are local, their dues are relatively inexpensive compared to national fraternities and sororities. Semester dues range from $200 to $400.
确认 你的学生 if things don’t go as planned.
An inherent aspect of fraternity and sorority recruitment is that it is a selective process. With that in mind, there is a chance 你的学生 will not receive a bid.
然而, every year we have several sophomores and juniors join the Fraternity and Sorority Life community who did not receive a bid their first year.
