Welcome to Mississippi State!
The Mississippi State Greek Community has long been known for its reflection of traditional values such as scholarship,
leadership, friendship, and community service. The Greek letter fraternities
affiliated with our University have built a strong reputation for upholding
these principles. As you consider joining a chapter at Mississippi State,
remember that you are taking on additional responsibilities to that of your
higher education goals on campus. Here are a few things to go over in deciding
if you would benefit from membership in the Greek Community: Members of the
Greek Community find a close-knit group of friends.
Greek students are consistently involved and leading dozens of campus organizations. By joining a Greek chapter, one cannot help but get involved and gain valuable leadership experience outside of the Greek Community.
Greek chapters are self-governing. This means there are many opportunities for students to be involved in the decision making and management of their chapters. Leadership positions exist in every chapter and will give you enhanced leadership experience which will greatly help you after college when looking for a job.
Emphasis on scholarship in the Greek Community is prevalent. Members are expected to maintain minimum grade point averages to remain in good standing with the chapter. Scholarship programs are in place to help students succeed in college, and mentoring programs and support systems are hallmarks of the Greek Community.
Greek students participate in philanthropic and community service opportunities and as a system volunteer more than 20,000 hours and raise over $100,000 for charity each year for local causes and national organizations.
I hope your experience here at Mississippi State will be rich and rewarding. Please consider the Greek Life Office or myself as a resource where you can find answers to questions or concerns you might have. We look forward to meeting you, and please drop in and see us anytime. Learn more about our chapters and recruitment by viewing our website and registering for rush at www.ifc.msstate.edu.
