It's clear that we are in uncertain times with the required responses that have and will continue to occur during the COVID-19 pandemic. As members of the Greek community, we recognize the era we are in is unprecedented and challenging for all of us. We, the Greek Life Staff, -- with HUGE help from our brothers and sisters at Florida State University and UNC Charlotte -- is offering a one-stop shop full of resources to help you navigate the era of virtual engagement. We hope the resources below will help you maintain a strong sense of belonging, connection, and passion as you navigate a virtual fraternity and sorority experience.

Please continue to check-in with your brothers/sisters/siblings to make sure they are doing alright in this time, and that they have the resources needed. Please refer them to UToledo's Page or contact Alex Zernechel, Assistant Director of Greek Life at Alex.Zernechel@utoledo.edu, if they are having any issues with access to reliable internet, safe housing, food insecurity, or need to self-quarantine.
