A LETTER TO NEW WARHAWKS DEAR NEW WARHAWKS, Congratulations on your decision to attend the University of Louisiana Monroe! As this new chapter of your life unfolds, we encourage you to consider taking that first step of being active on your new campus, by joining a sorority or fraternity.
We have a vast Greek community here at ULM that continues to exceed in academics, campus involvement, philanthropic events, and community service. Our Greek community allows members the chance to become involved oncampus and off-campus through philanthropic endeavors, athletics, academics, and leadership development all while building and maintaining lasting relationships.
Regardless of how far you will travel to ULM, your chosen organization will be your home away from home just as your newfound brothers or sisters will become family. For these reasons, joining our Greek community has the potential to be one of the best decisions you will make in college.
Your time spent at the University of Louisiana Monroe will be the best years of your life, and we hope that this guide will provide you with a small glimpse into all the ways that Greek life can enhance your experience. We wish you the very best of luck on your college journey and look forward to meeting you in the fall!
GO GREEK AND GO WARHAWKS!

WHAT ARE FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES? Fraternities and sororities are student organizations whose primary purpose is the personal development of their members, as distinguished from honorary, professional, departmental, and service fraternities. Unlike most other student organizations, membership in a social fraternity or sorority is a lifetime affiliation, and students are not permitted to be initiated into more than one fraternity or sorority. Fraternities and sororities promote intimate relationship bonds of brotherhood/sisterhood and members typically refer to fellow members as “brothers,” or “sisters.” Traditionally, most fraternities and sororities are designated by Greek letters; hence, they are often referred to as “Greek organizations,” “the Greek community,” or simply “Greeks.”
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT aspects of joining a fraternity or sorority is the bond of
brotherhood and sisterhood. There is a sense of unity and friendship among members of each chapter, as well as a feeling of Greek unity on campus. The recruitment process introduces students to individuals who come together to share common interests and form a cohesive group. It is often said, “Friendships developed in college will last a lifetime.” Greek life is an experience that one never forgets. Students find that members of their chapter will have similar goals, values, and ideals. Having these things in common with the organization provides a sense of acceptance and belonging. Brothers and sisters will be there to share the college experience but will also stay close for years to come. ULM recognizes fifteen Greek organizations — three fraternities within the Interfraternity Fraternity Council, four sororities within the National Panhellenic Conference, and eight sororities and fraternities within the National Pan-Hellenic Council — each of which is a campus chapter of a national group. Regardless of the fraternity or sorority a student chooses, membership in a Greek organization will enhance the collegiate experience. ULM’s Greek community invites all students interested in joining a fraternity or sorority to participate in the membership recruitment or membership intake process. Dates of these events are available in the Greek Life office and on the Greek Life website.

SCHOLARSHIP The purpose of college is to achieve an education, and Greek organizations are committed to their fraternity and sorority value of academic achievement. Providing an atmosphere in which each member can achieve self-responsibility is of utmost importance. Many chapters assist new members in developing good study habis and time management skills, making the adjustment to college easier.
A requirement to join and stay in a Greek chapter is to have and maintain a specific GPA. The average set by each chapter must correlate with its bylaws (essentially a rule book the chapter and every member must follow). It is typically greater than the GPA required by the school, which means that Greek members are often set to higher standards.
HIGHEST GPA
Kappa Delta (NPC) 3.361 GPA Alpha Kappa Alpha (NPHC) 3.107 GPA Delta Sigma Phi (IFC) 3.089 GPA
Earning a college degree is why students go to college. Being a member of a fraternity or sorority enhances the academic experience for students, most often excelling beyond their college peers. Members are expected to meet specific GPA requirements and encouraged to meet with faculty, use campus resources for academic support, and are recognized for their high academic performance at regular scholarship events and opportunities to join academic honor societies. Many chapters award scholarships annually to recognize students who have maintained exceptional grades and shown leadership in the chapter.

PHILANTHROPY ULM GREEKS are known for their
commitment to philanthropy and community service. During the 2020-2021 school year, our Greek fraternities and sororities have fundraised over $57,000 and performed over 3,000 hours of community service. This year, we plan to do even more. We now have a partnership with the United Way of Northeast Louisiana. With this partnership, there will be more opportunities for our Greeks to do more within our community and beyond in the 2021-2022 school year.

It is also imperative that each organization as well as our Alums proactively prepare for other changes that may occur this year by including a virtual component with all of your programs and services so that your plans will not be interrupted. These preparations should include some form of, online chat services, a cloud-based peer-to-peer software platform for teleconferencing, telecommuting, distance education, and social relations.

Kappa Alpha Order - Gamma Nu Chapter We are the Gamma Nu Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order. Kappa Alpha Order (commonly known as Kappa Alpha, KA, or "the Order") is a social fraternity and fraternal order. The Order has more than 150,000 initiated members.The members of Kappa Alpha Order pride themselves on a tradition of chivalry and of the values of the gentleman. This is reminiscent of a romanticized version of the Knights of the Crusades. This all culminates into a modern college fraternal experience. A member of Kappa Alpha Order strives to offer reverence to both God and women, as described in the motto. Further, the idea that "Excellence is our Aim" further emboldens members to always apply themselves to selfimprovement, realizing that you should always continue to strive for excellence. Finally, being that the organization is an Order, members typically have an idea of the above values before joining. Kappa Alpha does not intend to change anyone, rather bond together those men who have these similar values so that they may experience brotherhood, and pursue improvement, with one another.

Kappa Sigma, of ULM, was charted on May 6th, 1967 under the four pillars of Fellowship, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service. We first look to establish a brotherhood of exceptional men which will not last for a day, or an hour, or a college term only, but for life. Secondly, we promote Leadership throughout campus. Our brothers excel in their professional programs, Student Government Association, PREP Staff, Hawkseekers, religious groups, and other programs on campus and in the community. It is our belief that Scholarship is the key to success. We hold our brothers accountable for their grades and look to promote success in their journey as an undergraduate student. Lastly, we take great pride in our Service to the community. Two of our larger philanthropies include Military Heroes Campaign, a philanthropic organization founded by Kappa Sigma in 2007 to support military veterans and their families, and our annual Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation fundraiser we put on with AKA, which won Greek Collaborative Program of the Year. Whether it be working in our community or working from home during shutdown, the men of Kappa Sigma work hard on bettering the campus and community under the firm belief that you cannot quarantine brotherhood.

Alpha Omicron Pi - Lambda Tau Chapter Alpha Omicron Pi was founded on the ideals of character, dignity, scholarship, and college loyalty. All members of the Fraternity, collegiate and alumnae, are expected to live these values to the fullest and carry the spirit of AOII into the world around them. Whether you meet an AOII in class, throughout recruitment, off campus, or even after graduation, she is sure to bring light to your life. Members of the Fraternity are called to carry themselves with confidence as they represent our organization and treat everyone they meet with the utmost respect. AOII encourages all members to excel academically and has many programs designed to assist women in achieving their academic goals. Expectations are high but the support provided by scholarship programs, academic development officer resources, and fellow members makes success attainable. The emphasis on these pursuits was instilled by the four founding members of AOII in 1897, and this commitment remains a strong part of AOII today. Members of AOII are also called to not only serve their chapters and the Fraternity as a whole, but also to be of service to their communities and universities. Whether they are raising money for the Arthritis Foundations or representing the chapter on Homecoming or Mardi Gras Court, serving as a Student Government Senator or acting as a CAB Officer, our members are excelling as leaders on their college campuses and far beyond.

The Alpha Zeta Chapter was founded on ULM’s campus on December 6, 2014. Kappa Beta Gamma encourages its members to strive for academic excellence while offering many forms of support through the academic chair, scholarships, and other members.

Kappa Delta - Delta Zeta Chapter Kappa Delta was founded in 1897 by four women at a small university in Virginia. Since then, Kappa Delta Sorority has grown into a national organization for women committed to providing opportunities and experiences that promotes personal and professional growth for a lifetime. In 1967, the Delta Zeta chapter of Kappa Delta was founded on ULM’s campus. Members have gained friendships, mentors, role models, and a community among the women who are members of this chapter both past and present. Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA) and Girl Scouts of the USA are Kappa Delta’s two national philanthropies. Through events with Girl Scouts, members are able to build confidence in the girls of our community and see firsthand the impact they make in the lives of girls. Each year, the chapter hosts a Shamrock 5K to raise money for PCAA and the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home. On top of having the Highest GPA of Greek Life, Kappa Delta encourages its members to excel both within the chapter as well as on campus in other organizations. Members are participants in a variety of organizations including PREP Staff, Mardi Gras and Homecoming Court, Campus Activities Board, and Student Government Association, where our president serves as SGA President. Nationally, our Delta Zeta chapter was awarded Academic Development Program of the Year, National Academic Excellence Award, and Highest Dollar Sales for National Kappa Delta Magazine Sales. This is a highly distinguished honor given to the top 10% of all Kappa Delta Chapters, and we are incredibly honored and humbled to receive this title.
