Greek Life The Greek life experience at NSU offers endless opportunities for students. Many successful leaders in business, politics, education, and entertainment developed their skills in the Greek community. Greek members come together from all walks of life with a common goal: to achieve excellence in every aspect of life. The opportunity for leadership development is one of the greatest assets of membership into any Greek organization. Hands on experience as a chapter officer, committee chairperson, or active member allows you to develop skills, which will benefit you throughout your career at NSU as well as in your professional endeavors. Whether academic, social, or service—NSU Greek life has a place for you. Shark-a-Palooza The fall semester always begins in grand fashion with this event. Apart from the great food and entertainment, all clubs and organizations are very involved while actively promoting their club and recruiting new members. Life 101…Personally Speaking Nova Southeastern University’s “Life 101…Personally Speaking” has as its goal to bring various leaders from business, industry, entertainment, politics, and athletics to our campus to be interviewed by a faculty member with a similar format to Inside the Actor’s Studio (Bravo channel). Students and staff get a personal look at the “life lessons” these various leaders have learned throughout their career while sharing their life’s stories with our audience.
