Parents and Family
Sending a student to college can be an exciting yet challenging time in a family's life. While at the University of Iowa, your student will encounter many opportunities to become involved outside of their classroom experience. It is important that you, the family, be educated about the enriching experience that your student will find being involved in a fraternity or sorority at the University of Iowa.
