As your student starts to settle in at bet8体育娱乐入口 and develops interests, 他们将有很多选择的机会. One option they may find interesting is joining a fraternity or sorority. As a family member, this decision deserves your input and careful consideration.
Engage your student's decision by learning more about the fraternity and sorority community at ODU. Ask questions about what each organization can offer your student and allow them to make the best decisions for themselves. 一旦你的学生决定加入兄弟会或姐妹会, 支持他们，询问他们的兄弟经历. 章s hosts events that invite parents and families to offer the opportunity for you to experience the fraternity and sorority community firsthand.
Joining a 希腊 organization can offer many opportunities that students might not otherwise have. Through being a member of a fraternity or sorority they have many leadership opportunities including the chance to serve on their chapter's executive board, to be a part of our governing councils or other chair and committee opportunities in their chapter or in the community. All of our chapters are dedicated to service and philanthropy which teaches members the importance of giving back to the community both locally and globally. Finally, academics are an integral part of the fraternity and sorority experience. 联谊会 and sorority members on average have a higher GPA than non-members.
章s at ODU utilize many different entities to support their mission and purpose. Our chapters are part of a national organization which means that they have a national 办公室 and staff that assist in the development of the membership and organization. 章s can also have 校友 support and involvement which assist in the day-to-day operations and guidance of the chapter. All chapters have a responsibility to the policies and procedures of both their national organization or local policies and the University policies.The fraternity and sorority life staff works in partnership with the national organizations, 校友, and advisors to ensure that the organizations are operating at the highest level.
校友会主席, 全国泛希腊理事会, and Multicultural 希腊 Council: 章s do not host formal recruitment as a council, 而是以个别章节为基础. If you are interested in a particular chapter, please contact them directly.
