Mission of Greek Organizations

Greek Life at Kean University empowers members of Greek-letter Organizations to promote and preserve the ideals of scholarship, service, leadership, campus involvement, and brotherhood/sisterhood.  Membership in Greek Organizations promotes personal development and a strong sense of identity with the institution, as well as post-graduate association.  Greek chapters enhance the quality of life for students on and off campus by providing a range of opportunities for meaningful individual involvement and growth.

Greek Organizations have a strong commitment to community service. Participation in various campus, community, and philanthropic activities foster the Individual's lifelong commitment to community service.

In the 2002-2003 academic year, the Greek Organization members at Kean participated in a total of 235 service projects. The volunteers worked around 810 hours and raised close to $13,500 in donations.

The Greek Organizations at Kean have demonstrated their commitment to the University and the community time and time again; and if you are a person who believes in community service then a Greek organization is something that might fit into your future plans.
