Information for Parents

As your son or daughter makes the transition from high school to the University of Texas at Arlington, one decision that will impact the rest of their life is whether or not to join a fraternity or sorority. The Greek community plays an important role on campus as well as throughout the community. Leadership, scholarship, community service and brotherhood/sisterhood are the ideals that founded each of our organizations.

The Greek community at UTA positively contributes to student development. Membership in a fraternity or sorority helps students feel a connection to the University and their chapters. It offers a scholastic support system, service opportunities, and close friends who will provide encouragement and support when times are difficult.

UTA is home to more than 675 Greek members, and currently 27 fraternities and sororities. The University administration works diligently with collegiate, alumni and national offices to assure the highest quality of experience for each student. As a parent, you are undoubtedly concerned about your son and daughter’s college experience and the choices that he/she have about fraternity/sorority membership. If you have any question about fraternities and sororities please contact us at (817)-272-2963.
