Hello, New Samford Bulldogs!

It is great to welcome you to Samford University and Birmingham, Ala. Samford offers a wide range of opportunities to enhance your perspect ive, grow as person, engage in the community thro ugh individual action, values, character and faith, to name but a few.

One of the avenues of involvement that we are proud to offer is membership in a frate rnity and sorority community. Samford has a long history of fraternal involvement on campus. We have chapters representing three of the national “um brella” governing bodies that represent approximately 37% of the student population.

Active in leadership roles, commun ity service, campus events, athletics (both intramural and intercollegiate) and in the classroom, Samford greeks are in every walk of life that Samford offer s. Consecutively since fall 2010, over 40% of our community were recognized with Dean’s List honors; countless service hours and philanthropic efforts have aided local Birmingham charities through the work of Samford greeks as well.

I look forward to meeting you duri ng the fall recruitment season (if not sooner). If you have any questions in the meantime, I encourage you to go to www.samford.edu/greeklife, call 205-726-2028, or email greeklife@ samford.edu. Also, follow us via Faceboo k, Twitter and YouTube.

Again, welcome to Samford! It is great to have you as a part of the community, and we look forward to you being a part of the Samford greek community as well.

Respectfully yours, Dr. Denny Bubrig Director of Greek Life
