East Carolina University’s Fraternity and Sorority Life continues preparation for the spring 2022 semester with continuous open bidding and recruitment.
East Carolina Universityâs Fraternity and Sorority Life, the new name of the department previously known as Greek Life, and the Student Organization Center will share an integrated space within the Department of Student Engagement.Â
Director of Student Engagement John Mountz said in an email statement the decision to change the previous name Department of Greek Life to Fraternity and Sorority Life came after the department name was adopted by several universities in the University of North Carolina (UNC) School System. He said ECU was the last institution within the UNC system to use Greek Life as a name.Â
âEssentially, the industry standard recommended by our professional associations and national umbrella councils is to use âfraternity and sororityâ in place of Greek Life,â Mountz said. âWe felt it was past time to retire that name.â
