Heads up, families: September 11 is the deadline to change Board Meal Plans.

Meal plan changes can be made during the first three weeks of each semester. Your student can email [email protected] from their Chapman email address, or stop by the Residence Life office to submit the request in person.

The request has to come from the student directly, so this is a good one to forward their way.

Hey Panther Families 🐾 The Fraternity and Sorority Life Involvement Fair is Thursday, September 3, 11am-1pm in the Attallah Piazza.

Greek life at Chapman is a great way for students to get involved, build leadership skills, give back through philanthropy, and form friendships that last well past graduation. With 22 social Greek organizations on campus, there's a community for just about everyone.

At the fair, students can meet reps from every chapter, ask real questions, and see what actually fits. No commitment, just conversations.

Send this one to your student. 📲Questions? [email protected]
