Manitoba Sororities
For Parents
What is a sorority?
A sorority is a group of like-minded, passionate, driven young women. Sororities offer sisterhood, academic support, leadership positions, and volunteer opportunities. Sorority women share values and experiences that help to form a bond that lasts a lifetime!
What will my daughter gain from joining a sorority?
The biggest thing that is gained from joining a sorority is a group of like-minded peers that provide support and encouragement for each other not only through their university careers, but for life! She will be provided with countless opportunities for personal growth as well such as leadership experience and volunteering opportunities throughout her time in the sorority!
What are the financial commitments of joining a sorority?
Both our sororities have dues required for their membership, but the recruitment process is free! During recruitment, each sorority will break down their fees. The fees go towards sisterhoods, events, philanthropy, etc.
Some members are supported by their families, but many work part time in order to pay by themselves! Don’t let costs deter you from joining a sorority!
Most sororities also offer payment plans, which can be divided into monthly or bi-annual instalments.
How will my daughter's academics be affected if she joins a sorority?
As university students we understand that academics are one of the most important things in our lives, which is why each sorority offers support for academic success in many ways, such as study hours, academic resources, and often a sister who will be able to mentor and guide them. Many women find that their GPA increases after joining a sorority!
Is housing available?
Unfortunately, none of the sororities on campus have housing available, but it is not uncommon for sorority sisters to live together in off-campus housing! Sisters are also a great resource for helping to look for housing because many have been through it before.
Do you haze?
No we do not. Sororities at the University of Manitoba are part of the National Panhellenic Conference which stands against any form of hazing. To learn more click here
