Step 3 of 4
Returning for the second semester is sometimes difficult for students. This is a time for students to re-energize and build momentum for the new semester. Students need to continue purposeful engagement that also includes exploration and new experiences.
Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement
The Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement provides opportunities for the campus community to learn, serve and lead with our community as active citizens and advocates for positive social change. Service and leadership opportunities range from one-time events to weekly, semester-long opportunities to intensive immersion experiences and service-learning courses.
The Center for Leadership & Civic Engagement hosts several leadership programs including Chancellor’s Student Leadership Academy (CSLA), ECU Leads, and LeaderShape. In addition, Adapt-a-Grandparent, Camus Kitchen (CKECU), ECU Writes, Alternative Break Experiences, Pirate Days of Services, and Peers Advocating for Learning and Success are a few of CLCE’s signature service programs.
Fraternity & Sorority Life
Fraternities and sororities provide an enriching student experience that helps students grow and develop as young men and women who have leadership and social skills, who prioritize their academics and service to community. Membership in a fraternity or sorority is life-long and provides connections long after graduation. Friendship, leadership, philanthropy and services and scholarship are the pillars of fraternity and sorority life. The process to join an organization is different for each governing council.
- IFC Recruitment: The formal recruitment process is strongly encouraged. This is an opportunity for men to meet all of the fraternities within IFC and then make decisions of who they would like to get to know further and join. This process takes place in the early fall semester and the early spring semester.
- MGC Membership Intake: Students who are interested in joining an MGC organization are encouraged to attend the MGC Diversity Invitational that takes place at the beginning of each semester.
- NPHC Membership Intake: At the beginning of each semester, NPHC will host an event called “Meet the Greeks” – students learn more about the joining requirements of the NPHC organizations on our campus as well as what it means to be a member of their organization.
- Panhellenic Recruitment: The organizations within the Panhellenic Association will host recruitment primarily early in the fall semester. All interested and prospective members must register through the online registration form on the ECU Greek Life Website.
