Greek Life at Union

In addition to Minerva programs, Union has:

• 100 student clubs
• 30 student volunteer programs
• 25 athletic teams (23 teams in Division III, and men’s and women’s ice hockey in Division I)
• 51 intramurals and club sports
• 13 theme houses
• 11 residential fraternities and sororities

Our Greek system, the oldest in the country, is governed by the Interfraternity Council, College Panhellenic Council and Multicultural Greek Council.
 
Student clubs and organizations cover a range of interests, including performance and art, social action, media, literary arts, religion, spirituality, politics, multiculturalism and academic honor societies.

The Kenney Community Center is Union’s headquarters for community service and a vibrant resource for our neighboring communities. Here, students can easily connect with America Reads, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, Junior Science, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and other community-focused programs. Students regularly bring ideas of their own to the mix.

In addition, sororities, fraternities, athletic teams, theme houses, Minerva Houses and many clubs also sponsor civic projects.
