Greek Life is proud to offer an equal opportunity to all. Fraternities and sororities offer their members many benefits. A few core reasons to join a Greek-lettered organization include: Academics are consistently promoted throughout chapters. National data shows Greek-lettered organization members have higher grade point averages and members of Greek-lettered organizations are more likely to complete their college degree than their non-Greek counterparts. Greek Life is a great way to become involved at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Both chapter and councils offer formal and informal leadership opportunities. Research has shown that involved college students are more likely to graduate and report greater satisfaction with their overall college experience.
