How do Hofstra Fraternity & Sororities spend their time outside of class?

Philanthropies and Service Projects
Throughout the year, each chapter and council spends time fundraising and volunteering to help a particular service project or philanthropy (not-for-profit causes). The time spent together on philanthropic events is one of the many times that sorority and fraternity members will have to bond while making a difference.

Social Activities
The social activities within the Hofstra Greek community include intramurals, philanthropy/service events, Homecoming, and exchange dinners in addition to parties and socials. The Hofstra Greek community has adopted a more stringent approach to socializing, creating a safer environment for members.

Studying
Sororities and fraternities serve as a great resource for students academically. Every chapter at Hofstra is required to have a faculty advisor and scholarship chair that assists members with study hours and academic incentives. Your student can also access the network of chapter members, many of whom already know who to utilize campus resources.

Most chapters require a high GPA for continued active membership in the organization. The average new member GPA for the Hofstra Fraternity & Sorority community was 3.13 in Spring 2008.
