Panhellenic Sororities
Our Chapters
Carleton University is home to two Panhellenic sororities: Alpha Omicron Pi and Delta Phi Epsilon. There are countless benefits to that come with joining a well-established organization like a Panhellenic sorority. The main advantages are making meaningful connections with a sisterhood, opportunities to do acts of service in the community, a commitment to academic excellence and scholarship, and gaining leadership skills.
Sisterhood
First, by joining a Panhellenic sorority, you are not only gaining sisters from your own chapter, but are forming connections with members from other organizations. There are Panhellenic sororities on campuses all across Canada and the United States consisting of thousands of members.
"No matter the letters, sisterhood forever"
Service
Second, you will have the opportunity to support an inter/national philanthropic cause and give back to the community. Both Alpha Omicron Pi and Delta Phi Epsilon support specific causes, as well as contribute to local charities.
