Leadership

CWRU Greek Life Office and IFC/PHC council hold various leadership development opportunities, such as The Lyceum, The Academy, and Upstander 101. These flagship leadership and community development programs are key foundation to the success and positive change movement in the CWRU Greek Community. 82% of attendees from all three programs combined went on to hold a chapter or Greek Community leadership role. The Greek Life Office also hires one student, the Leadership Intern, to support this pillar.

Ritual

All chapters are founded and live out their specific ritual, but as a community, this ritual looks like living out these pillars everyday and participating in the CWRU Greek Life signature events. This includes the annual Greek Games which unifies the community through friendly competition.

Scholarship

Academics and scholarship are key elements to CWRU Greek Life. Greek students consistently outperform non-Greek peers in terms of GPA. The Greek Life Office hires two students annually, the Greek Community Educational Consultants, who work to support this pillar.
