Have you Plunged into Purple?

Welcome back students! It is time for ECU to plunge into purple and show everyone your Pirate Spirit.  There are tons of events going on throughout the next few weeks to get involved on campus and dedicate time to your University.  Read more about these events and what it really means to be an ECU Pirate.

Don’t just be a Student, Be a Pirate! The Plunge Into Purple Committee invites you to take full advantage of every opportunity offered at ECU, both in and out of the classroom. Being a Pirate means excelling in academics, becoming a leader, getting involved with the community, volunteering your time, socialization, building lasting friendships, making memories and embracing traditions. Take the plunge and connect to ECU. The mission of Plunge Into Purple is to facilitate events that welcome students to the excitement and traditions of ECU through education, socialization and involvement.
