Greek Values
A fraternity or sorority is much more than just a club. It's a community of lifelong friends who share key values and a commitment to living the ritual of their organization. Listed below are some of the values you'll encounter when you enter the Greek community. And don't forget to check out the ABCs of Going Greek!
Brotherhood & Sisterhood
If you ask a fraternity or sorority member about the most important aspect of the college experience, he or she will certainly tell you about the lasting friendships made through the Greek community. Membership offers the opportunity to be yourself and strive for your own goals while sharing and learning with others.
Integrity
A Quinnipiac Greek believes in the inherent value of all individuals and treats others with respect and dignity. The new-member period is a process of learning, inspiration and achievement-not one of hazing, degradation or humiliation.
