Values
Fraternities and sororities are the largest, most visible and most active values-based organizations on college campuses. We all share a common code of friendship, service, academic success, and leadership development. Every fraternity and sorority is guided by founding principles and values that serve as a moral beacon for its members.
Scholarship
Greek Life at Millersville offers students many opportunities and supports the development of academic goals and achievement. Greeks on campus work diligently to maintain a high level of scholarship.
Each of the chapters on campus receive academic information each semester, which is then used to set goals for the chapter and assist individual members. Many chapters provide and encourage the use of academic resources such as tutors and on-campus programs to maintain an emphasis on time management and scholarship. In many cases, chapters encourage new and active members to attend weekly study sessions.
Each chapter's academic requirements differ. However, all chapters have a common standard that all members must obtain both to join and to continue membership. Academic success is rewarded within chapters by national and local scholarships, banquets, and other rewards. Students who have achieved a minimum 2.3 GPA and 12 college credits are eligible to join a fraternity or sorority. Many of the chapters on campus, however, have a higher GPA requirement.
Greek Life supports the development of high academic standards among Millersville fraternities and sororities.
