Tarleton State University Parent

We would like to be amoung the first to welcome you to the Tarleton State Community.  We would also like to introduce you to the many opportunities that Greek life at Tarleton State has to offer.  The Greek community has a long history of enriching students' lives by providing strong academic support, a wealth of leadership opportunities, and sound fraternal values.  We have continually demonstrated that Greek life enhances the in-class experience through achieving a GPA that is consistently higher than the all-university average.  Also, many students take advantage of the leadership roles available to them, not only within their chapters, but also through the Interfraternity Council.  In addition, every one of the Greek chapters here, at Tarleton State was founded on principles of leadership, scholarship, service, and fraternalism.  These principles are exemplified through the extraordinary accomplishments of many of our chapters and their members.
