First-Year Residents joining a fraternity or sorority

First year residential students with a mandatory University meal plan will transition to a hybrid meal plan that provides access to both meals on campus and their Greek Village facility the semester after they join. Each student will have the plan affiliated with their Greek house corporation (not run by, managed by, or affiliated with campus dining) and a campus dining meal plan. Students will be automatically re-enrolled in the All Access with $250 Meal Plan Dollars PLUS Plan but will have the option to downgrade to the Weekly 10 or the Block 100 by filling out the Meal Plan Change Request Form on the CarolinaCard wesbite.

The amount of meals provided by Greek Village facilities on this hybrid plan is determined by individual House Corporations. Students shifting to this hybrid meal plan will see two charges on their campus account in the spring semester, one for the on-campus meal plan and one for the meal plan associated with their Greek organization. Non-residential first year students without a mandatory University Meal Plan and upperclassmen that are new members will transition to a full Greek Village meal plan if required by the organization.
