Fraternities and Sororities at NJIT - The Four Pillars
The concept of a fraternity is as old as our country. Phi Beta Kappa, the first fraternity for men, was founded at the College of William and Mary in 1776. Since that time fraternities, and later sororities, have grown and expanded to chapters in every state and parts of Canada.
Historically fraternities and sororities were founded upon 4 principles, or pillars, that continue to be the foundation for current national and local organizations:
Scholarship | Leadership | Service | Friendship
Enhance your Scholarship Achievement
Membership in Fraternity and Sorority Life provides students with a mentoring network to help maximize their educational achievements. NJIT’s Greek organizations have a minimum GPA requirement for membership and offers scholarship opportunities and national Greek honor societies.Additional Information

Develop your Leadership Abilities
Membership in a fraternity or sorority offers students opportunities to develop their leadership skills. Conferences, leadership retreats, leadership development programs, and officer trainings are ways students enhance their leadership ability as a member of the Greek community.Additional Information

Engage in Service Opportunities
Greeks nationwide raise tens of thousands of dollars and contribute thousands of hours for local and national charities and nonprofit organizations, such as American Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity.. Through the support of a variety of charitable organizations, fraternities and sororities promote ideas that will enhance a member's university days. Participating in community service helps each member to grow into a more well-rounded citizen in a global society..Additional Information

Create Lasting Friendships
Joining a fraternity or sorority is a lifelong dedication to the ideals and principals of Greek life. Perhaps the greatest incentive to join a Greek-letter organization at NJIT is the friendships you will make. As a fraternity or sorority member at NJIT, you will gain lifelong friends not only in your own chapter, but in other fraternities and sororities as well. Many call these organizations their extended family, hence the terms "fraternity brothers" and "sorority sisters." Inter-chapter activities such as homecoming, Alumni reunions, recruitment events and Greek Week activities expand the opportunity for friendship. Membership is a solemn commitment.Additional Information

They can help personalize students college experience in leading committees, managing budgets, and interacting with faculty and administrators. They will be exposed to many new experiences and challenges that will enhance their overall educational development at NJIT.
