What does Fraternity & Sorority Life provide that no other college organization can offer?
College is one of the biggest transitions in a student's life. Joining a fraternity or sorority will help ease the transition by finding others with similar challenges. Fraternity & Sorority life provides a convenient opportunity to create life-long friendships with members all ages, including alumni. Fraternities and sororities promote brotherhood/sisterhood, leadership, scholarship, philanthropy, and financial responsibility.

Can only freshman join a fraternity/sorority?
No. The fraternity and sorority community is a non-discriminatory and will accept members of all ages.

There are a few organizations which do not allow freshman to join. Please check with specific organization on any classification requirements.

How much time commitment is involved when joining?
One of the most difficult challenges freshman face is time management.

As a parent or relative, how can I support my student's involvement in a fraternity or sorority?
Research their national organization, including their history and core values. Determine whether the organization has a friends and family club or friends and family events. Once your student joins an organization, encourage him or her to seek leadership positions. You can also get to know their close friends within the organization, support their chapter's philanthropic or community service events and attend their local events.
