Be part of a rich tradition through membership in a fraternity and sorority
College fraternities and sororities are social and leadership organizations that encourage members to establish relationships with chapter members, other Greek members as well as other students during their college experience. Joining a fraternity or sorority is a great way of opening doors to numerous opportunities, activities and networking opportunities.
Being Greek means more than just wearing Greek letters and going to social events. Being in a fraternity or sorority is about making friendships that will last far beyond your college years. It enhances your personal development by committing to ideals of scholarship, leadership and service.
ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app’s Greek community consists of six sororities and four fraternities. Every fraternity and sorority on campus has its own rich history and tradition.
Councils
Panhellenic Association
The Dickinson Panhellenic Association supports women's Greek-letter organizations by promoting values, education, leadership, friendship, cooperation and citizenship, in cooperation with the National Panhellenic Conference. The council hosts primary recruitment in January, participates in Love Your Body Week and Wellness Week, and hosts social and service events for all sorority women.
Council of Fraternities
The Council of Fraternities represents the three national fraternities on Dickinson's campus. COF serves to advocate the needs of its member fraternities through enrichment of the fraternity experience; advancement and growth of the fraternity community; and enhancement of the educational mission of ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app.
