Greek Life
Our campus provides a wide range of academic, social, & community service activities for you and membership in a fraternity or sorority is a good first step toward enjoying all the benefits that FAU has to offer.
Collectively, fraternities and sororities constitute one of the largest student groups on campus. Fraternities and sororities are about scholarship, leadership, service, and lifelong relationships. It's about bettering the FAU community. It's about traditions, learning valuable lessons, and establishing lasting connections.
Every fraternity and sorority at Florida Atlantic University and across the nation was founded on the basis in shared values. But the journey to brother/sisterhood is unique to every individual; just as every person in the Florida Atlantic University fraternity and sorority community is a unique individual. The results, however, are the same for us all; lifelong friendships with people who share the values consistent with membership in a fraternal organization.
At their core, fraternities and sororities offer the opportunity for leadership experiences that can enrich a life on campus and beyond. Many leaders of today, including here at FAU, are members of fraternities or sororities.
The Office of Greek Life encourages you to fully explore the non-committal opportunity offered to understand what makes our fraternity & sorority community so beneficial.
