Welcome!

Potential New Members and Members of the Panhellenic Community,

Welcome to Panhellenic Sorority Life at the University of Akron! Our community is currently composed of six National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) chapters: Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, Delta Zeta, and Kappa Kappa Gamma. Each of these sororities encourages their members to excel in the areas of leadership, service, campus involvement, and scholarship. Our community currently comprises over 300 women. Sorority involvement continues to provide women with the opportunity to be part of the tradition of excellence UA Fraternity and Sorority Life strives to sustain.

All of our sororities have different philanthropies, histories, rituals, and symbols; however, they were all founded on common values that encourage members to become the best versions of themselves. Joining a sorority not only provides a lifelong sisterhood but opens the door to new friendships and many opportunities.

Being a sorority woman means something different to everyone. Here at The University of Akron we understand that women in our sororities are so many things. Sorority women are business starters. Women no longer want to stick with the status quo and joining a sorority gives them the resources to help follow their dreams. Sorority women are world changers. Women want to make a difference in real, tangible ways and this community gives you the stepping stones to do just that. Sorority women want to build connections. Women want to build connections with friends, but also connections across our entire campus.

The members of our Greek community are leaders in hundreds of other areas on campus and they play a vital role in the success of many programs and initiatives here at UA! I have gained so much leadership experience in this community. It has given me the tools and confidence to do the same in other organizations on campus and in my future career aspirations. If a sorority is done right, it is women aggressively supporting other women. That is what this community at UA is here for. We strive to make spaces for women that don’t otherwise exist in the world and help you achieve your dreams.

I encourage each of you to visit our website and social media to learn more about recruitment, our Executive Board, our individual chapters, and our sorority community here at the University of Akron. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. We are excited to share more information about the organizations we are so passionate about and how you can become a part of our amazing community!

We would love to have you join our tradition.

Go Zips, Go Greek!
