Members of fraternities and sororities at BW take pride in their academics, with the Greek community collectively maintaining a higher GPA than the overall student body. They provide academic support through study hours, tutoring programs, and honors societies. Fraternity and sorority members also dedicate themselves to volunteering in the community, raising money for philanthropies, and developing lasting social connections and leadership skills through various events and organizations. Joining a fraternity or sorority offers opportunities for brotherhood/sisterhood, leadership development, scholarship, service, and social engagement in line with the five pillars of the Greek community.

Fraternities and Sororities were founded on
specific values. Just as every chapter has
specific values, so does the community in
which they live. The Fraternal Values

values to strengthen their community.
