We foster individual and community development focused on the values of scholarship, leadership, diversity, equity, & inclusion, service, and life-long friendship through brotherhood and sisterhood. Each chapter is unique and offers an amazing experience that is unmatched by any other student organization.
Being involved in a fraternity or sorority can help you build new skills that are advantageous after your collegiate experience. Fraternity and Sorority Life contributes to the development of social and communication skills, interpersonal relations and time management. There are opportunities to be involved in leadership roles, community service and philanthropy, and scholarship opportunities.
