Natalia Ribeiro Joining a chapter brings more than just friendships and experiences.
When students arrive on campus, one thing they may notice is Greek organizations tabling during Club Week. FAU is home to 27 Greek chapters which are broken down into 12 sororities and 15 fraternities. Valerie Malfa, president of the College Panhellenic Association, said that a sorority offers more than just opportunities. “Genuine lifelong friendships, networking opportunities inside and outside of FAU, exciting leadership opportunities of different levels, fun philanthropy events, and mentorship are just some of the amazing benefits of joining a sorority,” said Malfa. “Sisterhood is forever; there are even alumni membership opportunities in the local area and across the country for individual organizations.” Each Greek chapter recruits new members during recruitment week within the first month of the fall semester. For the spring semester, recruitment week is open for the chapters that have open spots for new members. Recruitment offers prospective members the opportunity to learn about the costs, events, and general information of the different sororities or fraternities on campus. William Powell, treasurer of Lambda Alpha Upsilon, received an internship offer because of the support of the brotherhood and resources provided by the fraternity. 8 | FAU Declassified
