High Point University - HPU Overview

  About Greek Life at HPU

High Point University sits in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina, and its Greek system has grown right alongside the school's rapid expansion over the past couple of decades. HPU is a private university with a strong focus on student experience, and that ethos extends to how Greek life operates on campus.

The system is organized across two main governing bodies. IFC oversees the fraternities, which include chapters like Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Beta Theta Pi, Kappa Alpha Order, and Sigma Nu. Panhellenic covers the sororities, with chapters like Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Gamma Delta, Kappa Delta, Phi Mu, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Zeta Tau Alpha. There's also an NPHC presence on campus through historically Black fraternities and sororities including Kappa Alpha Psi, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, and Zeta Phi Beta, which bring their own distinct traditions and intake processes to the HPU community.

HPU is a smaller private school, so the Greek system is more intimate than what you'd find at a big state university. That said, it's genuinely woven into campus social life here. Greek organizations are visible at events, involved in philanthropy, and active in student leadership. Chapters tend to be tight-knit because of the school's overall size.

Recruitment for IFC and Panhellenic chapters typically follows a structured process in the fall, with Panhellenic running a more formal multi-round recruitment and IFC operating on a somewhat more relaxed schedule. HPU doesn't have a traditional Greek Row with chapter houses the way larger schools do, so social events and chapter life tend to center around campus spaces and common areas rather than private houses.

Philanthropy is a consistent part of how chapters operate here, which fits with HPU's broader emphasis on service and community engagement. Individual chapters run their own events tied to their national philanthropy partners throughout the year.
