Reasons to Join
Benefits of Joining
Sororities are one of the many ways in which students can get involved and contribute to the University community. Sorority members are committed to academic excellence, personal and leadership development, community service, philanthropy and so much more!
Below is just a few ways membership can shape the college experience.
Sisterhood & Support
Leaving for college is a huge transition. One of our community’s goals is to make that transition easier. Our community makes up about 8% of the undergraduate student population on campus. This allows our members to feel a strong sense of community
“The chance to be around so many ambitious women has pushed me to be the best person I can be ”
Academic Achievement
Sororities promote scholarship through resources like tutoring, study groups, and scholarships. Greek members at the U typically have higher GPAs than non-Greek peers, partly due to GPA requirements that encourage accountability.
Our Greek GPA is higher than all undergrad GPA
Participation in Internships, Study Abroad, Research, and more!
Time Commitment
Commitments vary by chapter, but the first semester is often the busiest. After initiation, members attend weekly meetings and planned events like community service, philanthropy, and educational programs. Many chapters also offer optional socials and bonding activities. The more you put in, the more you’ll get out of the experience!

Philanthropy & service

Leadership Opportunities
Sororities provide hands-on leadership experience through officer roles, committees, and collaboration with alumni and national organizations. Members are supported by both campus staff and professionals from their national chapters, making sorority life a powerful space to grow as a leader.
“Joining a sorority at the University of Utah has significantly expanded my network, leading to numerous leadership opportunities on campus. From holding internal leadership roles within my own chapter to managing marketing for official campus councils, the connections I’ve made through Greek life have opened doors to experiences I otherwise wouldn’t have had access to.”
