Joining a Chapter
Why join a fraternity or sorority?
Lifelong Friendships
Joining a fraternity or sorority is more than wearing Greek letters and attending events. It fosters lasting friendships and makes the CU Boulder community feel closer. Most importantly, it offers a supportive space where you can rely on your brothers and sisters through good and challenging times. It’s not just four years—it’s for life!
Campus Involvement
While chapters encourage member activity, campus engagement strengthens their connection to their alma mater. Fraternity & Sorority Life collaborates with the Center for Student Involvement to offer experiences that enhance student success, personal growth and a vibrant campus community.
Campus Connections
Joining a recognized fraternity or sorority allows students to become integral parts of the CU Boulder community. Your chapter experience complements your student life, fulfilling different needs. Embracing both can enhance your campus involvement and foster lifelong connections after graduation.
Leadership Opportunities
Membership in a fraternal organization offers leadership development opportunities crucial for post-college life. Fraternity and sorority members can engage in programs, officer positions, leadership conferences, campus roles and committees within the CU Boulder community to hone their leadership skills.
Giving Back
Service and philanthropy are integral to fraternity and sorority life, offering rewarding experiences through volunteer work and events to raise money for charity. These opportunities help members engage with their community and cultivate lifelong habits of giving back.
Academic Excellence
Academic excellence is essential for fraternities and sororities at CU Boulder. Each chapter and the community value scholastic standards, providing programs, incentives, recognition and support to help members succeed academically. As academics are the primary reason students attend CU, these organizations aim to assist their members in achieving their educational goals.
