Families

At CU Boulder, we acknowledge the significant role that family members play in supporting their students as they join the Buff community. We are proud to partner with you to ensure continued support for your student. Participating in a fraternity or sorority is a great way to ensure a well-rounded undergraduate experience and can help make our university feel more like a home away from home. It’s important for family members to be informed about the experiences students can have by joining a fraternity or sorority at CU Boulder.
