Greek Life
The Greek community is an excellent place to become a leader on campus. Involvement in the Greek
community enhances personal development by committing to ideals of scholarship, leadership and service. A
variety of leadership opportunities for students are available within each organization as well as opportunity
to develop many skills that will serve well in the work world.
Affiliation with a fraternity/sorority is also about building relationships. Through social and philanthropic
activity undertaken by Greek chapters, members learn to interact with other people of all ages, backgrounds,
and interests. Sharing the college experience with Greek brothers and sisters provides a network of support
and friendships that enrich students throughout their college years and beyond.

Student Government
The ―Constitution of the Student Association of HBU‖ was adopted October 18, 1963 by the first student
body. It became operative in 1966-67 with all four undergraduate classes organized. Student government at
HBU is exercised through the Student Association under the leadership of the Office of Student Life; all
activities are subject to the approval of that office. All full-time undergraduate students (12 semester hours or
more) become members of this Association upon registering. The legislative body is the Student Government
Association (SGA), which is composed of representative students from all Colleges and Schools of the
University and from each of the four (4) undergraduate classes. Student officers serve as the spokespersons
for students and seek ―to foster the recognition of privileges and responsibilities of the students of the
university community.‖
Student Organizations
A variety of student organizations offer a place for students to connect with others and get involved, to
develop personally and to make a difference in the campus community and beyond. Categories include
governing, honor, professional, service, social service and interest groups. For more information about HBU
student organizations contact Student Life, 281-649-3154.
