Most people assume that fraternity and sorority life is all about the parties, having fun and living the real-life "Animal House." However, there is more to be found in Greek life, such as high standards in academics, leadership opportunities, and most importantly service and philanthropy.
At UNCW there are 27 Greek-affiliated organizations and each fraternity or sorority has an individual philanthropy that is particularly special to their organization. In the 2009-2010 school year alone these groups raised over $45,000 to be donated to philanthropy groups and contributed over 15,000 hours of community service.
