Community Service & Philanthropy
- During the 2008-2009 academic year, Greeks donated over $44,000 and
over 8,000 hours of community service.
- Each Greek chapter supports a national and local non-profit
organization through annual fundraising.
The Investment
As they say, you get out what you put in. This fact rings true for
Greeks as well. Those interested in the Greek experience should
anticipate spending on average 1-2 hours per week of time and between
$400 - $800 per year in dues and fees. But keep in mind, Greek dues
account for less than 2% of a college students annual expenses. This is
a small investment when you account for the tremendous benefits of Greek
membership.
Housing
- Each fraternity has their own house. Three are privately owned
and three are university owned.
- Financial aid is not affected by moving into a
fraternity house.
- Rents are set at or below university residence hall rates.
- Fraternity houses are considered "alternative housing" and fall
under UE Student Handbook policies.
- Rents (along with other fraternity fees) are charged to the
students UE bill unless otherwise requested by the student.
- Sorority members live independently in university properties or
private facilities and have access to a sorority suite. The sorority
suite is similar to a chapter room and used for meetings, study
sessions, recruitment, and other activities.
