WHAT IS A SORORITY?

COLLEGE CAN BE HARD ENOUGH. HAVING A GROUP OF SUPPORTIVE WOMEN CAN EASE THE TRANSITION AND EVEN PREPARE WOMEN FOR LIFE AFTER COLLEGE.

SORORITIES ARE VALUES-BASED SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY FOUNDED TO PROVIDE WOMEN A SPACE TO GATHER AND SHARE COMMON INTERESTS, OFTEN IN TIMES WHEN WOMEN WERE EXCLUDED FROM OTHER CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES.

WHILE NPC SORORITIES HAVE VARYING CREEDS AND MOTTOS, THEY ARE UNITED IN STRIVING TO PROVIDE MEMBERS WITH FRIENDSHIP, OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND FUN SORORITIES OFFER MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE WELL-ROUNDED INDIVIDUALS BY SUPPORTING WHAT IS LEARNED IN THE CLASSROOM WITH RELEVANT LIFE SKILLS.

SORORITY OPERATES ON THE FOUNDATION OF ITS VALUES, WHICH DETERMINE ALL ACTIONS THE ORGANIZATION MAKES.

THESE VALUES INFLUENCE THE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE OF THE SORORITY, MISSIONS, RITUAL, SOCIAL EVENTS, PHILANTHROPIES AND EVEN THE DAILY ACTIONS OF SORORITY MEMBERS. THE VALUES ARE A ROAD MAP FOR HOW MEMBERS OF THE SORORITY CAN PURSUE SUCCESS. SOME OF THE VALUES THESE GROUPS UPHOLD ARE INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT, LEADERSHIP, FRIENDSHIP, CITIZENSHIP AND COOPERATION.
