Dear Lancer Parent,
I am very excited to welcome you and your son to the Lancer Family. I know that your son will enjoy his collegiate career here at Longwood University.
I would also like to help with answering any questions that you may have concerning our Greek community here at Longwood University. Becoming a member of our community, your son will obtain an unforgettable college experience, but at the same time gaining valuable experiences to aid him in preparation for his future endeavors.
The underlying purpose of the University is education: to nurture intellectual curiosity, to instruct in various disciplines, to encourage social and moral growth, and to provide an atmosphere conducive to the pursuit of these goals. It is the responsibility of fraternities to foster an atmosphere of learning, social responsibility, respect for human dignity, and to provide positive influence and constructive development for members and prospective members.
The Greek community here at Longwood University is strongly united. Our fraternity men hold themselves to a high standard, which makes them key role models on campus. Many of our fraternity members are also involved in high leadership positions within the university.
There are currently seven chapters and one colony under the Interfraternity Council, which is the governing board for fraternities, here at Longwood. All of our fraternities hold key values that are similar to one another, but yet hold their own individual image here on campus. I know that your son will be able to find a home away from home within one of our chapters.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us. I wish you and your son best of luck in your future endeavors.
