Fraternities and sororities are values-based social organizations that have shaped the college experience for over 200 years. These organizations instill in their membership the importance of maintaining high moral, social, and intellectual standards.

In the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, we work to support students that hold a common set of values: brotherhood/sisterhood, academic excellence, character development, leadership, service, and a sense of community. Our staff supports this mission by encouraging members to lead with integrity and conduct activities in a healthy, safe, and fun manner, while making sound academic and personal choices. We do this by collaborating regularly with chapter advisors, faculty advisors, alums, and most importantly, chapter members.

Membership provides opportunities for:

• Friendship
• Academic enhancement
• Philanthropy
• Community service
• Leadership development
• Campus involvement
• Personal growth
• Social development
• Mentoring networking
• Scholarships, grants, and fellowships
