important part of Greek involvement.
Sorority members par*cipate in a variety of
programs that provide leadership

community, including chapter or council
officer posi*ons, na*onal or regional
leadership conferences, campus-based
leadership opportuni*es, and commiWee
involvement.

sorority membership at John Carroll
University. Scholas*c standards are
important for each chapter as well as the

help sorority members pursue academic
success. Each Panhellenic organiza*on has
academic requirements and tools designed
to help members be excellent students.

Joining a sorority is about building lifelong
rela*onships that extend beyond ordinary
friendships. Bonds of sisterhood are formed
within an organiza*on and provide JCU
Panhellenic women with a home away from
home, mentorship, career networking, and a
sense of community at a medium university.
Sorority members enjoy connec*ons that can
provide support and celebra*on in life’s
significant moments.
SERVICE
Service is a meaningful pillar of fraternity and
sorority involvement at JCU. It is perhaps the
most personally rewarding of the pillars, as
members are provided with opportuni*es to
par*cipate in hands-on volunteer work and
implement philanthropic events to raise
money for charitable organiza*ons. The
opportuni*es ensure that sorority members
will have an impact on their community and
develop lifelong habits of giving back.
