About Fraternity & Sorority AffairsFSA provides advisement to the 97 social fraternity and sororities recognized by the Black Greek, Interfraternity, Panhellenic and United Greek Councils. Through the execution of successful programming, our unit supports the advancement of academic achievement, risk prevention, leadership and personal development, service, alumni relations, health and wellness, and general fraternity/sorority administrative operations.

Mission

We advocate for a positive undergraduate fraternal experience while engaging stakeholders in the advisement of chapter operations, support through crisis, and expecting chapters to uphold organization and university standards. We establish and advise student programs, trainings and skill development in the areas of leadership, safety, wellness, personal development, inclusion, cultural competence, service, civic engagement, and membership recruitment.

Values

Inherent in this mission is the facilitation of our values as fraternity and sorority members:

• Friendship: To create an eternal bond of loyalty, camaraderie, and respect based on the pride and unity that encompasses our community.

• Leadership: To develop the skills and talents for our members to impact our campus, community, state, country and world as undergraduate members and as graduate and alumni members.

• Scholarship: To encourage and provide the resources for our members to succeed academically through continuous learning, moral development, and scholastic recognition.

• Service: To enrich the lives of our members through meaningful involvement in service and philanthropic events.

• Social Advancement: To formulate meaningful friendships through a wide range of activities that bring together our members and develop personal and professional skills.

All of these are facilitated with a respect to:

• Diversity: To create an opportunity for people of different backgrounds, cultures and interests to come together and celebrate the common experiences that we have as fraternity and sorority members while appreciating our individual differences.
