Fraternities & Sororities Life FAQ'S

 

What types of Fraternities and Sororities are there?

Our entire community is committed to common values. Some of our groups are culturally based--Latino and Black. This does not mean students who don't identify with these groups are not eligible for membership. Groups can not discriminate based on ethnicity, race. Often their membership standards include strong academics, campus and community involvement and awareness of the organization. 

 

Why can F/S discriminate based on Sex (Gender)?

Title IX allows for some exemptions from gender discrimination including fraternities and sororities.
