The UCA Panhellenic Executive Board would like to welcome those who are wanting to learn more about what Greek, specifically sorority, life means to us. The Panhellenic community at UCA is comprised of four sororities: Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Sigma Tau, Delta Zeta, and Sigma Kappa. Together we fall under the National Panhellenic Conference which is an umbrella group for 26 national and international sororities. Our community values women from all walks of life who are wanting to gain lifelong friends, develop their leadership abilities, and to impact the community in a positive way through philanthropic works.
Each of our individual sororities has their own specific set of values and creed that they cherish, but collectively as a community we all strive to live out the Panhellenic creed:
“We, as undergraduate members of women’s fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our college community. Cooperation for furthering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities. We, as fraternity women, stand for service through the development of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live.”
The impact that Greek life can make on someone who joins is impossible to put into words. “From the outside looking in you can never understand it. From the inside looking out you can never explain it.”
