Greek Life
Joining a fraternity or sorority is a lifetime commitment - a commitment that will benefit you now and in the future. The friendships and skills you build when you join a Greek organization are forged and built to last a lifetime. Our Greek community has so much to offer you. It's comprised of chapters that are individually unique, but together, they are a complete and united community.
Hazing in any form is prohibited at the Cheyney University of Pennsylvania.
Go Greek at CU!

Greek Life COMING EVENTS
As you explore the opportunities available to you at Cheyney University, consider whether Greek Life is right for you. Our Greek organizations are comprised of groups of individuals with various interests. They are bonded together by common goals and aspirations. Leadership, scholarship, community service, and brotherhood/sisterhood are the pillars of each of our organizations. By focusing on these four ideals, one can expect both a positive collegiate and Greek experience
