Greek life can offer an advanced number of resources and connections while also providing lifelong friendships. Here at NSU, Greek life is a safe space where individuals come together and grow. There are different types of Greek organizations at NSU, but the one thing they all have in common is that they believe in unity and respect.
There are many opportunities presented to students within Greek Life. There are opportunities to make connections when it comes to your career, community involvement, leadership skills or just simply having a support system. At the beginning of each semester, there are many events held to meet the Greeks. Now with COVID-19, these events are virtual, but Greek Week is a great opportunity to learn about the different organizations, what their philanthropies are and what kind of community service they do.
Samantha Arrieta, who represents Phi Sigma Sigma, said, “Greek life has presented me a multitude of opportunities. I am a part of Phi Sigma Sigma’s E-board as a Scribe. My role on E-board gave me the connections and courage I need to pursue founding my very own sports club at NSU.”
Kaiden Hewitt, from Kappa Sigma fraternity, described his experience with Greek Life by saying, “Since I am a part of Kappa Sigma, I would say one of the biggest opportunities Greek life has presented to me with is being able to network with so many new people from different backgrounds.”
Marissa Gomez, who is not only a part of Delta Phi Epsilon sorority, but also part of the Panhellenic Council, said, “Being in Greek life has given me the opportunity to take a position in PC as the vice president administration. This position has taught me responsibility and good time management skills. I’ve also been able to meet wonderful individuals that are in my life.”
Panhellenic Council (PC)
The three PC sororities at NSU are Delta Phi Epsilon, Phi Sigma Sigma and Sigma Delta Tau. Panhellenic Council sororities promote academic excellence and community involvement.
Collegiate Fraternal Council (CFC)
There are two fraternities at NSU: Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta. These fraternities believe in responsibility and academic achievement.
Unified Greek Council (UGC)
There are seven UGC fraternities and sororities on NSU’s campus: Alpha Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Lambda Theta Alpha, Phi Beta Sigma, Sigma Lambda Gamma and Zeta Phi Beta. The Unified Greek Council are culture-based fraternities and sororities that aim to have academic excellence and spread awareness and positivity by being involved in the community.
Academic fraternities
There are a few academic fraternities on campus. For instance, there is a medical fraternity and a law fraternity. These fraternities believe in academic success for their specific professions, meaning if you are a law student or a student studying medicine, you are eligible to be a part of the organization.
