GO GREEK!
The Office of Greek Life

We are...Leadership

Students involved in Greek Life are given opportunities to refine and develop their leadership skills to the fullest potential. Greeks can be seen everywhere on Southeastern's campus participating in the Student Government Association, athletics, religious organizations, honor societies, intramurals, orientation leaders, cultural programs, social events and many others. As a member of Greek Life, not only will you graduate with experiences to fill your resume', you will have learned leadership skills that can be used throughout your life.

We are...Service

A primary focus for all Greek Organizations is helping others. Greek organizations commit numerous hours to community service and local charitable projects. In addition to local community involvement, Greek organizations participate in national philanthropic causes. During the 2008 academic year, Southeastern's Greek Life participated in more than 8,000 service hours and donated over $35,000.

We are...Scholarship

The primary reason a student enrolls at Southeastern Louisiana University is to obtain a solid and diverse education. Greek Life possesses resources and facilities that support high academic achievement and hold members accountable to scholastic success. Fraternities and sororities continually perform above all men's and all women's grade point average.

We are...Friendship

Students involved in Greek Organizations make friends that will last a lifetime. These bonds often referred to as brotherhood or sisterhood, are hard to find in any other organization. In order to promote unity and friendship among Greeks all over campus, the Office of Greek Life host weekly events in the Greek Village and annual Greek Week Festivities.
