Pittsburg State University - Greek

Greek Life Basics
Scholarship
Scholarship is one of the most heavily emphasized values in Greek life. Each organization has different requirements set to consider individuals for membership. However, the minimum requirement for consideration is a 2.5 GPA. Men and Women below this requirement are welcome to participate in recruitment to learn about the community and to investigate options for the future, but may not be selected for membership at this time.

All Greeks emphasize study activities within the chapter such as study hours and study buddies. Members are always there to help out when a big test is around the corner or when that math problem is just too tough to handle alone. Greeks are also active in many campus academic honoraries.

Leadership
Greek membership offers women a variety of positions to sharpen leadership skills. Greeks can be found in the Student Government Association, University Student Ambassadors, Student Activities Council, Varsity Athletics and numerous honor societies throughout campus. Greeks don’t just belong to these organizations; many hold the highest leadership positions. Involvement and active participation in activities enable students to develop knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the fast-paced job market of today.

Social
Greek Letter Organizations put students into immediate contact with large alumni bases as well as many other students not only at Pittsburg State, but all over the country. Interaction in these organizations provides students with the skills and training to develop high level social skills that will serve them well in the job market and in their personal lives.

Service
One very strong tradition of both fraternity and sorority organizations is their support of local and national philanthropies and the local community. There are a wide variety of community service projects in which PSU chapters sponsor and participate. 24+ hour Teeter-totter, trampoline, and rocking chair events, softball and golf tournaments, canned food drives and lollipop sales are just a few of the philanthropic projects PSU Greeks sponsor.

Philanthropic projects are an integral and important part of Greek life. These projects are not only campus ventures, but often include the entire community. Because of the values Greek letter organizations are rooted in, members are highly regarded and successful in their efforts to aid their campus and community.
