Greek Life

mission

The mission of the Fraternity and Sorority Affairs program is to provide support, programs, and services for students affiliated with general fraternities and sororities, which help them to achieve their academic goals and aid in their personal growth and development. The efforts of the staff emphasize scholarship, service, leadership, involvement, diversity, community building, self-governance, and lifelong membership, and challenge each undergraduate member to incorporate the ideals expressed in the ritual of his or her fraternity or sorority into their daily lives.

HOW TO JOIN

Fraternities and sororities are continuously recruiting new members to join their values-based organizations. Each semester, students who have completed at least 12 credit hours and have at a minimum of a 2.5 cumulative GPA are in good academic standing and eligible to join (once they`ve filled out the Eligibility Form). 

Because Clarion is supportive of the academic success of both the Greek chapters, new students, and potential members, the university is a deferred recruitment campus. This allows all of our students the opportunity to make an academically-focused transition to campus. New/first-time students interested in joining a fraternity or sorority will be able to do so in their second semester. The recruitment period begins in the 3rd week of each semester.
Fraternities and sororities schedule numerous events, both on campus and at their individual chapter houses, inviting potential new members to meet the brothers or sisters and learn what their organizations are all about. The primary recruitment period is held in the spring. VIEW OUR CURRENTLY RECOGNIZED  CHAPTERS HERE!
