WHY JOIN A GREEK-LETTERED ORGANIZATION

Academic Excellence
Academics are consistently promoted throughout chapters. National data shows Greek-lettered organization members have higher grade point averages and members of Greek-lettered organizations are more likely to complete their college degree than their non-Greek counterparts.

Leadership
Greek Life is a great way to become involved at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Both chapter and councils offer formal and informal leadership opportunities. Research has shown that involved college students are more likely to graduate and report greater satisfaction with their overall college experience.

UMD's Greek Life community does a great job each year giving back. Thousands of hours of community service are completed each year alongside thousands of dollars being raised for nonprofit organizations.

High Social Standards and Life-Long Connections
Social and recreational activities provide the opportunity to meet a variety of people and to strengthen the bonds of friendship at the same time. Participation in traditional events, such as Homecoming, Greek Week and philanthropic events, demonstrates Greek unity and spirit.
