Mission of the Office of Greek Life
Purpose
The George Washington University is committed to
supporting a vibrant and strong fraternity/sorority community through a
collection of outstanding and distinctive chapters who support and live their respective
values. We feel that this can best be achieved through partnerships with
National organizations, alumni advisors, individual chapters and the
University.
The George Washington University is not an ordinary
institution, and thus, we expect extraordinary chapters and an exceptional
Greek community.
