Fraternity & Sorority Life at Miami University
About the Five Principles
Each chapter is committed to the Principles of the Greek Community: Scholarship & Learning, Service & Philanthropy, Leadership, Community, and Brotherhood & Sisterhood.
Scholarship & Learning
Each chapter commits itself to the tentant of enhancing scholarship and learning within the chapter. As a result, in 2007-2008 the members of Miami's Greek communited depnostrated exceptional scholarship, posting an overall Greek GPA of 3.17, compared to the non-Gree GPa of 3.09, showing their leadership not only in the ocmmunity but also in the classroom.
Service & Philanthropy
One of the most rewarding aspects of fraternity and sorority involvement is te opportunity to impact the lives of those in your community. Last year, Miami Greeks donated countless hours and thousands of dollars to both local and national charities through hands on service projects and philanthropic fundraisers.
Leadership
Miami's Greek community is dedicated to developing strong, multi-faceted leaders through a variety of leadership opportunities. Fraternity and sorority life provides an outstanding means for the discovery and implementation of each member's unique leadership potential by encouraging individuals to strive for positive change in their organizations and the entire community.
Community
The Greek Community has been thriving for almost 175 years at Miami University. The Greek community offers leadership, social, and service opportunities that you will find hard to match elsewhere. Whether it is a fraternity or sorority sponsored service event, party, philanthropy, athletic event, or speaker, you will be able to grow as an individual through your Greek involvement at Miami University.
Brotherhood & Sisterhood
Within each chapter, there is a close bond of friendship and family that the Greek experience provides. This is one of the foundations of the Greek experience. The unique personalities of fraternity and sorority members provide a diverse and well-rounded Greek Community. The ideal of brotherhood and sisterhood is a cornerstone that each fraternity and sorority is built upon and is reflected in each chapter. The relationships that you form within your chapter exceed that of a friendship.
