Brooke Wininger of Kokomo Joins Chi Omega at University of Evansville

2013 Sep 26

Brooke Wininger of Kokomo, IN, has become a new member of Chi Omega at the University of Evansville.

Wininger, who is majoring in Biology, joined Chi Omega after a weeklong recruitment process that allowed potential new members to learn about Greek life and discover what each chapter has to offer. Wininger is one of 170 students who joined fraternities and sororities at the conclusion of Fall 2013 recruitment.

"The University of Evansville Greek system is one of the best in the country. Outstanding scholarship, remarkable service, vitality, and friendship are the foundational pieces that make our program exceptional," said Dana Clayton, UE vice president for student affairs and dean of students. "The men and women who belong to our fraternities and sororities are some of the highest profile leaders on campus, both in and outside the classroom. Our Greek students make a major impact on the campus community."

The University of Evansville's Greek system consists of six national fraternities, four national sororities, and one local sorority. Approximately 28 percent of the University's undergraduate students participate in Greek life. Together, they maintain a combined GPA that surpasses the campus average. Each year, the Greek community raises more than $50,000 for charity and performs more than 9,000 hours of community service.

"By joining Chi Omega, Brooke Wininger has become part of a solid legacy of leadership and scholarship," Clayton said. "Going Greek is an experience that will serve students such as Brooke well beyond their college years."

The University of Evansville is a private, liberal arts-based university in Evansville, Indiana, with a full-time undergraduate enrollment of approximately 2,300. UE's diverse student body represents 41 states and 54 countries. U.S. News & World Report recognizes UE as a top 10 master's-granting university in the Midwest, and third in the region for "Great Schools, Great Prices."
