Sororities and fraternities enjoy spending time with each other through social events like brotherhood/sisterhood retreats, formals, homecoming, themed events, CREW events, etc. Fraternity and sorority members are dedicated to their academics at Augusta University, but also believe it’s important to reward hard work with opportunities to socialize and enjoy each other’s company.
Although the media often negatively depicts Greek Life, it is important to know that Augusta University is extremely committed to taking all necessary steps to ensure that any organization on campus adds to the educational value of a student’s college experience. Greek organizations at Augusta University are required to follow alcohol and risk management policies in according with the state, local, and federal laws, which are enforced by university administrators and chapter advisors, as well as the members themselves.
Each sorority or fraternity on campus has inter/national alcohol policies, which require members to follow all federal, state, and local laws, governing alcohol consumption. The University also has policies for all students regarding alcohol consumption and drugs. Events that are registered with the Office must follow both the University policies, as well as the inter/national organization policies for risk reduction. There may be events hosted by fraternities and sororities (date parties, formals, tailgates, etc.) where alcohol is present, but these events must follow firm guidelines about risk reduction and safety. All recruitment and new member activities should be alcohol free.
