Parents

Welcome Welcome to the University of Connecticut! If your daughter is either considering joining a sorority, or has recently become a New Member, you may have questions about Greek life at UConn. Following are some of the most frequently asked questions, a listing of common Greek terms, and the Greek alphabet. As you look into the Greek Community with your daughter consider the following information compiled by the Center for Advanced Social Research at the University of Missouri: Following graduation, Greek-affiliated alumni have higher average incomes than non-Greek alumni. Even when accounting for parents' educational levels, graduation year, and gender, students who were affiliated with fraternities and sororities have higher average incomes following graduation. Students who join fraternities and sororities are more likely to return to college the following year. Students who join fraternities and sororities are 28% more likely to return to school the following year than students who choose not to join. Following graduation, Greek-affiliated alumni are involved in more civic organizations and contribute more financially to charitable organizations than non-Greek alumni. Fraternity and sorority involvement correlates positively with citizen involvement and charitable giving later in life.
