Fraternity and Sorority Life<br />
The Fraternity and Sorority Life experience offers a<br />
chance to find your place on campus through a breadth<br />
of leadership opportunities. Creighton values a diverse,<br />
well-rounded student body and expects that you’ll<br />
be positively influenced by your fraternity or sorority<br />
experience, but not defined by it. With 44 percent of<br />
Creighton undergraduates involved, fraternities and<br />
sororities are popular outlets for personal growth.<br />
Fraternity and Sorority organizations place a high value on<br />
academics (consistently averaging a higher GPA than the<br />
rest of campus) and demonstrate a strong commitment<br />
to community service. Last year, fraternities and sororities<br />
completed more than 20,000 community service hours<br />
and raised over $ 200,000 for philanthropic causes.<br />
CU After Dark<br />
CU After Dark programming offers students fun, unique<br />
and free programming on Thursday, Friday and Saturday<br />
evenings. The program allows students to interact with<br />
an array of campus organizations and departments and<br />
provides a great opportunity to meet new people and<br />
build relationships.<br />
CliftonStrengths for Students<br />
As part of the first-year experience at Creighton, all<br />
students are provided the opportunity to take the<br />
CliftonStrengths for Students assessment. Created by<br />
Gallup, CliftonStrengths identifies your top five strengths<br />
(from a list of 34 total strengths). These strengths<br />
highlight the abilities by which you’re naturally inclined to<br />
succeed—an exciting learning opportunity as you become<br />
more involved in the Creighton community. Strengths will<br />
be integrated into many events, including a workshop<br />
in February.<br />
Family Weekend<br />
Family Weekend is an excellent time for families to come<br />
and learn about a student’s new home at Creighton.<br />
Families can attend events on and off campus to become<br />
more familiar with the Creighton community and the<br />
greater Omaha community. These include athletic events,<br />
a community barbecue, networking with Creighton<br />
professionals and the opportunity to meet other families<br />
of current students.<br />
