About Us

Since 1776, fraternities and sororities have offered students opportunities for leadership development, academic success, brotherhood/sisterhood and community service. These organizations are present on hundreds of campuses nationwide and internationally, providing a unique collegiate experience. 


At CU Boulder, fraternity and sorority involvement has been key since 1884. Starting with the founding of Pi Beta Phi, our community continues to thrive. Fraternity & Sorority Life acts as a liaison between Greek organizations and the university, promoting self-governance and leadership within the Greek community. Today, more than 3,600 students participate in our diverse Greek chapters. We are also open for expansion to new fraternities. 

Fraternity & Sorority Life coordinates programs, activities and services to support members' educational and social experiences. All services are available to chapter officers, members, advisors, councils, headquarters representatives, alumni, community officials, parents and potential members.

Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 

Fraternity & Sorority Life values intellectual growth, friendship, social responsibility, well-being and leadership. These values, along with the Colorado Creed, form the foundation of our community. Recent incidents of racial discrimination and violence have highlighted the need to uphold these principles. Racist language and actions are inconsistent with the standards of our fraternity and sorority community. Learn more.
