Greek Life
WELCOME
Contact Susan Rogers, Greek Advisor
Congratulations on a great decision to attend YHC! We're glad you are seeking out information about extra-curricular activities and Greek Life and are pleased that you are taking the time to explore the many facets of a well-rounded education.
Although college is about hitting those books and making the grade, it’s important to have a perfect balance of academics and a social life. Fraternity and sorority involvement offers you the opportunity to do just that.
Greek Life emphasizes scholastic achievement, philanthropic and community service activities, leadership positions, athletic competition, and social growth. You will earn skills and make friends that will carry well beyond your college career and experience.
Formal recruitment, rush and membership intake can be a hectic time but we are all here to provide you with all the support and resources you need to make an informed decision. Feel free to contact the different presidents or myself, the Greek advisor, should you have any questions. Enjoy browsing through our site and welcome again!
