This is an excellent opportunity for students with a background in community service, though no prior experience is necessary! View the 1742 Experience application and additional information here.

Greek Life has been a valued tradition at ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú for over 100 years. Approximately 14 percent of Moravian students participate in one of the University's five national sororities or three national fraternities.. Members of this vibrant community are actively involved in various aspects of campus life and frequently hold key leadership roles.
Fraternities and sororities are values-driven organizations committed to fostering character development and leadership growth. Each organization upholds a unique set of core values centered on principles such as brotherhood or sisterhood, service to ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú and broader community, academic excellence, leadership, and meaningful relationship-building.
Two of our national fraternities and sororities are culturally based, founded not only on the acceptance of diversity but on its celebration. These organizations foster inclusivity and unity across campus. Students may join a fraternity or sorority starting in their second semester at ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú or later.

Students who dive into orientation often build lasting friendships, make meaningful connections, and gain the confidence and knowledge to thrive at ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú. This is the first step in an exciting journey, and we can't wait to welcome our newest Greyhounds!
