The Wake Forest Community
Wake Forest is first and foremost about people. It is a place of teachers and students, scholars and scientists, artists and athletes, debaters and dancers. Ask almost any student, professor or alumnus, and they will say that one of the things that makes this place special is its sense of community. Because it is a small place, students have direct access to a network of peers, faculty and administrators for a college experience that is fulfilling in all respects. The University believes in the development of the student as a whole person, and undergraduate life is rich and diverse, with activities to nourish the mind, body and soul.
Approximately 15 percent of the student body is made up of African-American, Asian, Hispanic, Native American and other multicultural students. Wake Forest strives to meet the needs of these students, both academically and personally, and to encourage their participation in and contributions to student life.
Greek life is active at Wake Forest; approximately 42 percent of students are affiliated with a fraternity or sorority. The Interfraternity Council is the governing body of fourteen social fraternities, while the Panhellenic Council performs the same function for nine sororities.
Wake Forest makes every effort to accommodate students with disabilities and other special needs. For information on the University's policies and procedures contact Van D. Westervelt in the Learning Assistance Center at 336.758.5929.
