Greek Life Fraternities and Sororities Fraternities and Sororities at New Jersey City University are defined as selective self-perpetuating Greek-lettered organizations that have philosophies and objectives which are in agreement to play a positive role in the total educational process of the University and to provide opportunities for individual growth in terms of leadership and responsibility. Official recognition of the organization occurs only after approval is granted by the Greek Senate. The Greek Senate is the parent organization for all recognized social fraternities and sororities. It is composed of two representatives from each recognized Greek-lettered organization. Purpose The purpose of fraternities and sororities at New Jersey City University is fourfold: 1. Greek—to acquaint students with the goals and traditions of our Greek Organization. 2. Scholastic—to ensure higher degrees of scholastic achievement by providing an atmosphere conducive to intellectual progress. 3. Social—to present to our members a more diversified social curriculum by sponsoring numerous mixers, outings, dances, and athletic events. 4. Community—to encourage community involvement by assisting recognized nonprofit and community organizations. Membership Membership in fraternities and sororities is open to all New Jersey City University students. Membership is selective, but not as to race, creed, color, national origin or sexual preference.
