Networking Opportunities
Time to Mingle.
The Greek Network:
Fraternity and sorority members have innumerable networking options with other members, which can lead to job opportunities, career advice and advancement and more. Students who choose to go Greek have exclusive access to a variety of resources and opportunities that non-Greeks cannot use. Read more to see some of these resources and tips on how to maximize the professional benefits of Greek Life.
Use Alumni Networks
Alumni networks help current members of fraternities and sororities connect with members who have already graduated. Networks may exist at a chapter level—specific to one college or university—or at a national level.
Join Online Networks
Fraternities and sororities often have groups with professional networking services such as LinkedIn and inCircle. Greek society members can join their society’s group to connect online with other current members as well as alumni.
Attend Chapter and National Events
Campus chapters sometimes organize events and guest lectures which give members opportunities to network with fellow campus members, with chapter alumni, and even professionals in various fields who have been invited to the events. Nationally, fraternities and sororities organize similar events at a larger level and with even more networking opportunities.
Connect with Alumni
Welcome to HFXGreekLife:
Once you join a Greek organization, you are a member forever, remember your commitment you made, and remember the impact you can still make on your organization.
Alumni support fraternities and sororities in a number of ways:
​
- Chapter Advisors
- Life-Long Friends.
- Living Arrangements
- Business Opportunities
- Financial Support
​
Additionally, our Greek organizations are strongly encouraged to identify advisors. These individuals are alumni members at the university who serve as advocates and supporters of our Greek community.
Joining Greek Life.
Congratulations on your decision to join an amazing community within Halifax! Within a community of this size, the number of great opportunities for campus involvement can be overwhelming. Our fraternity and sorority community allows members the chance to become involved on- and off-campus through philanthropic endeavours, athletics, academics,
and leadership development all while building and maintaining lasting relationships.
Regardless of how far you will travel to Halifax, your chosen organization will be your home away from home just as your newfound brothers or sisters will become family. For these reasons, joining our Greek community has the potential to be one of the best decisions you will make in university.
Pillars for Success:
Service, Philanthropy, Leadership & Friendship.
Greek Leadership
Only the Best in Halifax.
Involvement in a Greek-letter organization provides a valuable opportunity to develop your leadership skills within your chapter and on campus. Almost two-thirds of Greeks are involved in an organization in Halifax outside of their chapter!
Service & Philanthropy
Making Life Better.
Fraternities and sororities are heavily involved in giving both their time and financial contributions to a variety of charitable causes.
Major Greek projects include:
• Trick-or-Treat with the Greeks of Halifax
• Greek service projects
• Individual chapter events benefiting causes like cancer charities, hunger awareness, diabetes research, children’s literacy, domestic violence, and more.
​
Friendship
Making Friendships Happen.
Most students seek Greek affiliation as a way to meet people and develop lifelong friendships. Through brotherhood and sisterhood retreats, social events, and a variety of other chapter activities, students are able to build a close network of brothers and sisters to share in their university experience.
All organizations host regular, substance-free brotherhood and sisterhood events each semester. Some examples include movie nights, laser tag, athletic events, and more!
