It's that time again; the sororities and fraternities of Sacred Heart University started to recruit new potential brothers and sisters.
The process started off with Around the Worlds that was on Monday, Jan. 28. During Around the Worlds, the sororities and fraternities informed students about what the sororities and fraternities are about and discussed the meaning behind them.
They discussed the colors, symbols and quotes that describe them. After Around the Worlds, was Meet the Sororities and Fraternities, where you chose your top three choices and get to know more about the organization. This was a way to get to know the members of the fraternity or sorority before making your final choice.
"Our theme for rush this school year is 'Leave A Legacy,' which perfectly defines how beneficial joining Greek Life can be," said Julia LaRosa, sister of Nu Epsilon Omega.
"There are many powerful and noteworthy people that have been in fraternities and sororities, from Bill Clinton to Stephen Spielberg, Kate Spade to JP Morgan," she said.
"Not to mention graduate schools and employers love seeing it on an application because it shows commitment and dedication. Through the community service we perform, the philanthropies we help, and the friendships and networking skills we acquire, Greek Life is truly an investment in your future," she said.
There are ten Greek organizations on the Sacred Heart campus including six different sororities with six different causes.
The sororities are Beta Delta Phi, who supports breast cancer awareness, Zeta Iota Lambda, who supports disability awareness, Kappa Phi, who helps Bridgeport children, Nu Epsilon Omega, who supports suicide awareness and domestic violence prevention, Phi Omega Tau, who supports aids awareness, and Delta Phi Kappa, who supports women empowerment.
There are also four fraternities, who are, Alpha Sigma Psi, who addresses the issue of child abuse and poverty in Bridgeport, Lambda Sigma Phi, who supports rape prevention and sexual abuse awareness, Omega Phi Kappa, who supports furthering the Bridgeport education system, and Sigma Delta Chi, who supports helping the environment.
