A number of colleges and universities maintain a fervent dedication to Christian education. Many more feature active Greek organizations that are important to campus life and culture. Very few institutions (you can count them on one hand) have found a way to make these two seemingly mutually exclusive phenomena occur simultaneously. Union University is a member of that smallest group of schools that has found a way to maintain a Greek system within an educational context that is unashamedly Christ-centered. Union has set for itself the mission of producing Christian men and women who view life through the lens of Scripture and act according to God-given wisdom and integrity. If Greek life did anything to hinder those purposes, it would have no place in the campus community, and it certainly would not exist at Union University. Union's Greek system is based on mutual commitment to Scriptural precepts as well as the brothers or sisters of each group. They are groups comprised of believers, but they are not mini-churches. Though they are selective by nature, they are not elitist. In short, these groups help Union better fulfill its institutional mission; otherwise they would not be present. Currently, Union hosts six national fraternities and sororities on campus, and all six are consistently honored with awards and special recognitions. Three groups have exclusively male members, and three have exclusively female members. A seventh group, whose membership is exclusively female, is still in the formative stages. For more information about each organization specifically, please browse each group's webpage. If you would like to know more about joining one of these groups or see how they work together to govern themselves and serve the campus and community, read more about the Interfraternity Council, which oversees men's groups, or the Panhellenic Council, which oversees women's groups. |
