Become part of a sisterhood at Ashland University!
More than 18% of female university students choose to join a sorority, where they have additional opportunities to learn, lead and grow. The bonds they form with one another last a lifetime, and members’ academic, professional and personal growth will enrich their lives for years to come.

Core Values
Friendship
Women at Ashland University join sororities to create a sense of belonging and become involved in something greater—while forging connections that will last long after graduation. Lifelong friendships and memories are built through the sorority experience. Members participate in social events such as date parties, fundraisers, community programs and Greek mixers.
Leadership
Sororities at Ashland University are run for and by leaders. Each chapter on campus fosters responsibility, encourages initiative and promotes engagement—all qualities that contribute to strong leadership. Members have opportunities to develop these skills and more as they work to enhance the campus community. Leadership seminars are also offered, allowing members to discover and refine their leadership skills.
Scholarship
The primary reason for attending college is to earn a degree. For this reason, sororities at Ashland University place the highest priority on academic achievement. Such standards are the result of hard work and a collective commitment to succeed and support one another’s successes. Each chapter on campus promotes and recognizes academic excellence by offering scholarship programs and incentives, hosting study tables and providing academic resources.
Service
Sororities give back to their communities, both locally and nationally through the Greek community at large. Recent efforts by chapters on campus raised nearly $56,000 to support women’s cardiac care, aid for the speech- and-hearing impaired, the Ronald McDonald House and the Glenmary Home Missioners.
