Why Sorority Life?
Sorority membership at Northeastern University opens up the possibility to build new friendships and become engaged in the campus community. Women in NU’s Panhellenic sororities are active leaders on campus, give back to the Boston community and strive for academic excellence. Throughout a typical school year, sorority women at Northeastern complete 15 hours of community service, raise money for their respective philanthropies, attend semi formals and formals, and compete in Greek Week! College just isn’t complete without Fraternity and Sorority Life!
Still have questions or concerns? Check out Letters and Leis on Saturday, September 15th from 12 to 2 pm in the Freshmen Quad (*beside the Stetson dining hall) or True Life: I'm a Panhellenic Sorority Woman on Wednesday, September 19th from 6-8 pm in the Curry Ballrom. Both provide opportunities to learn more about involvement in a sorority and meet members of our sorority community.
