How much time is
required to be a member?
Your time commitment in the fraternity will depend on your level
of involvement with the group. One of the most important skills
you will learn as a Greek is how to better manage your time and
balance your academics, job, and Greek commitments.
What will my first months as a Greek
be like?
You’ll be surprised at how many new people you will come in
contact with as a Greek. You will soon have friends that you can
call “brother”. By learning the history and purpose of your
organization, you will find out more about yourself and your new
friends. Members will help show you the ropes of college, the
Greek system, and your organization.
How do you join a fraternity?
The Interfraternity Council organizes a period in which you and
the Greeks get to learn more about each other. During the rush
period you should seek out the Greek organizations. There will
be plenty of flyers around, so just look for them. There is an
organization for everyone!
Is hazing a
problem?
Hazing is forbidden by all Greek organizations at LHU, as well
as throughout the country. Each organization has expectations of
new members, but these are centered on guidelines such as
leadership, scholarship, and service. To make pledging a
smoother experience, you should remember to ask the different
Greek organizations specific questions about what will be
expected of you as a new member.
Is Greek life still like “Animal
House”?
In the past decade, the Lock Haven University Greek system has
gone through many changes, all of which have been directed at
chapter improvement and Greek responsibility. LHU Greeks are
well aware of their responsibilities, not only to their
individual organizations, but to the Greek community as well.
Lock Haven University Greeks have worked hard to provide a more
conscious, enjoyable college experience.
What will I learn?
You will learn the history of the Greek tradition throughout the
county as well as about your individual organization and
chapter. You will become a part of many years of traditions,
learning, and fun. Most importantly, by becoming a Greek, you
will learn more about who you are and what you can be.
