Fraternity and Sorority Life
Go Greek in NYC!
Â鶹´«Ã½ fraternities and sororities are a respected part of campus life, and the University has a zero-tolerance policy regarding hazing! Members of this close-knit community are part of an academically supportive environment. For instance, fraternities and sororities offer study hours and tutoring programs. In fact, the minimum GPA requirement to participate in Greek life recruitment is 2.5.
In addition to building lifelong friendships, members of the Greek system can become active members of the community, compete in Greek athletics, and become leaders. These days, leadership experience is a definite plus when looking for a job.
As a fraternity and sorority member, youÂ鶹´«Ã½™ll have the opportunity to be an officer or part of a committee. YouÂ鶹´«Ã½™ll learn to manage a budget, run meetings, speak in public, and motivate others. These skills and the relationships you build will help you at Pace and throughout your life. Plus, youÂ鶹´«Ã½™ll have access to larger alumni networks. There are nine million Greek community members (including undergraduates) across the US and Canada. This is one large family thatÂ鶹´«Ã½™s always got room for more.

Fraternities

Founded in 1869, Kappa Sigma is represented on 313 college campuses throughout the US and Canada. At the heart of Kappa Sigma are the Fraternity's four pillarsÂ鶹´«Ã½”fellowship, leadership, scholarship, and serviceÂ鶹´«Ã½”which guide its ambitions and underpin its successes. Striving for excellence in fellowship, leadership, scholarship, and service produces brothers who are involved in all aspects of campus life; who excel academically as students and professionally upon graduation; who develop lifelong bonds with those around them and who support those peers; and who serve their colleges and communities. Becoming a Kappa Sigma provides the framework to build yourself into the man you want to be.
