On behalf of Western Carolina University's Department of Greek Student Engagement
and Development, Welcome to Catamount Country!
Greek Life plays an important role on the Western Carolina campus as well as throughout
North Carolina and beyond. Scholarship, Community Service, Philanthropic Work, Life-Long
Friendships, Leadership Development, Alumni Networking, and Brotherhood/Sisterhood
are the common fraternal principles of our chapters.
Being an active member of a collegiate fraternal organization will provide opportunities
for students to participate in activities that enhance personal development, promote
academic success, and advance leadership skills. We welcome and encourage our students
to take a look at the fraternities and sororities available at WCU.

Recruitment & Intake
During this Phase, due to the COVID19 Pandemic, our offices will be making adjustments
to our normal traffic patterns during our scheduled business hours. Please be aware
of the following changes:
-Please make an appointment with the staff member you are needing to meet with.
-Maintaining physical distancing is a priority inside of our offices. We have measured
out six feet and have figured out spacing. We now have a limited amount of seating
available.
-Meetings with multiple people will need to be in a meeting room or can happen virtually.
-In accordance with the governor and university, we expect all visitors to always
wear a face covering or mask when you come into the office. We feel this is important
for the health and safety of the staff and our students. If this is a problem, we
will be happy to meet virtually. We will not meet face-to-face without a mask.
