New Member education: Communityedu
Built for members of fraternities and sororities, the CommunityEdu: Fraternity & Sorority Life course (formerly GreekLifeEdu) addresses key topics for college environments such as hazing, alcohol abuse, sexual assault and inclusion. Members learn to create more inclusive and healthy communities by going through interactive scenarios and applying their learnings. Members will finish this course equipped to treat others with respect, make healthy decisions, stand up as leaders in their community, and use their skills beyond graduation.
There are two parts to CommunityEdu. Part One takes approximately two hours to complete, and Part Two takes approximately 15-20 minutes. One of Pi Beta Phi’s core values is Personal and Intellectual Growth, which includes members’ health and well-being. As part of this core value, we require all New Members to take CommunityEdu as a requirement for Initiation. Part One must be completed by New Members to be eligible for Initiation. Part Two must be completed within one month of Initiation.
Pi Beta Phi believes providing factual information on alcohol, hazing and sexual assault will help members identify and utilize resources and enable them to make informed lifestyle choices that contribute to a healthy self and community.
