Community Engagement

Community Engagement Website

Â鶹¹û¶³ fosters an engaged, inclusive environment where students define the concept of community for themselves through meaningful opportunities. Students will gain insight into the strengths and obstacles faced by our local, national, and global communities and learn how to make meaningful contributions through their unique abilities and talents. Some opportunities students can participate in include Heritage Day, individual service opportunities, Staycation, and the America Reads tutoring program.

The 1742 Experience

The 1742 Experience is a one-week, pre-orientation program that introduces a select group of new students to the Bethlehem community through service projects. Under the supervison of the Associate Director of Campus Life, the program is coordinated and led by upperclass students, who serve as mentors and guides to participants. Examples of past service projects include: 

• Working with children and building a community garden at the local YMCA
• Supporting the local humane society with pet care and a social media campaign
• Packaging food items to be distributed to community members in need

This is an excellent opportunity for students with a background in community service, though no prior experience is necessary! View the 1742 Experience application and additional information here.

Greek Life

Greek Life Website
Greek Life has been a valued tradition at Â鶹¹û¶³ for over 100 years. Approximately 20 percent of Moravian students participate in one of the University's five national sororities, three national fraternities, or one local fraternity. Members of this vibrant community are actively involved in various aspects of campus life and frequently hold key leadership roles.

Fraternities and sororities are values-driven organizations committed to fostering character development and leadership growth. Each organization upholds a unique set of core values centered on principles such as brotherhood or sisterhood, service to Â鶹¹û¶³ and broader community, academic excellence, leadership, and meaningful relationship-building.

Two of our national fraternities and sororities are culturally based, founded not only on the acceptance of diversity but on its celebration. These organizations foster inclusivity and unity across campus. Students may join a fraternity or sorority starting in their second semester at Â鶹¹û¶³ or later.

Orientation is designed to help students feel at home at Moravian- exploring campus, learning how to navigate college life, and immersing themselves in the traditions and history that make our community special. 

Students who dive into orientation often build lasting friendships, make meaningful connections, and gain the confidence and knowledge to thrive at Â鶹¹û¶³. This is the first step in an exciting journey, and we can't wait to welcome our newest Greyhounds!
