Supporting Your Student in Fraternity & Sorority Life
Sending a student to college is a big transition—for them and for you. At UCF, Greek life offers a way to build friendships, leadership skills, and a sense of belonging. Many students find that joining a fraternity or sorority helps them navigate college life, stay on track academically, and connect with mentors.
Why Greek Life?
Fraternities and sororities provide:
✔ A strong support system – Lifelong friendships and a home-away-from-home.
✔ Leadership & service opportunities – Build skills, give back, and grow.
✔ Academic & career connections – Mentorship, networking, and alumni support.
Your Role as a Family Member
Your support matters! Here’s how you can help:
- Encourage an open mind. Every organization is different—help your student find the right fit.
- Talk about finances. Discuss costs and expectations before they join.
- Let them lead. Greek life is their journey. Support, but let them make the decision.
- Stay engaged. Attend events and learn more about the experience.
