Welcome

Fraternities and sororities are organizations that share common interests, values, or areas of academic study. Wayne State University has chapters for 27 national social fraternities and sororities, and many other professional and independent Greek-letter organizations.

  • Four social sororities, governed by the National Panhellenic Conference

  • Membership of approximately 550 students

Why join a fraternity or sorority?

Fraternities and sororities are organizations that provide students with opportunities to develop leadership skills, meet new people that may have similar values, interests, or academic programs, give back to communities and organizations through service and philanthropy, and strive towards academic success in coursework. It is also an excellent way to connect with alumni to network for possible opportunities or employment in the future.

Please note that each organization maintains its own schedule for membership intake and recruitment. Dues and fees also vary by organization, and are based on factors dictated by each fraternity/sorority national organization.
