Your student has embarked upon a great adventure by choosing to attend Penn State Behrend. Your student has many opportunities ahead of them as a student at Penn State Behrend.
By joining a fraternity or sorority, they are joining hundreds of other members in their search for a sense of community at Behrend. Sometimes students can feel overwhelmed once they are in a new environment. Penn State permits students to join fraternities and sororities during their first semester of enrollment.
For many families and friends, the fraternity and sorority community reminds them of images of the movie Animal House. There are many myths about the fraternity and sorority community, but the reality is that students in fraternities and sororities are committed to their academics, volunteer their time in the community, develop and strengthen their leadership skills, and form a campus network with other fraternity and sorority members.
If you ever have any questions on fraternity and sorority life at Behrend, please contact the Associate Director of Student Leadership and Involvement, Lindsey Hopkins Hall, at lmh33@psu.edu or 814-898-6171.
