About

The Greek community’s purpose is to advance fraternity on campus and provide interfraternal leadership to the entire community. Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, National Panhellenic Council, and College Panhellenic Association provides leadership to shape the future of each council, campus, and community. They are a driving force that creates positive change on campus.

There are 27 active, diverse chapters between 4 councils with 650+ students overall. Each fraternity and sorority is unique to their council, the Greek community, and to the SIU campus. 

Through car smashes, restaurant fundraisers, philanthropy events, community events, and formal events, Fraternity and Sorority Life chapters raised over $18,000 for the fall 2023 semester.  

The FSL community volunteered over 15,000 hours of their time to the campus, Carbondale community, outside of the Carbondale community, and their organization for the fall 2023 semester.

The FSL community welcomed 189 new members into our community for the fall 2023 semester.

Members of the fraternity and sorority community, on average, achieve higher GPA's and have higher retention and graduation rates. The average GPA for SIU Fraternity and Sorority Life for the fall 2023 semester was a 3.0, which is higher than the spring 2023 semester at a 2.9. This increase is achieved through study hours, mentoring, and recognition programs. 

Greek life was well represented during Homecoming week. From homecoming week activities, to showing off their float during the parade, to being elected to serve on the Homecoming Court, FSL was displayed the Saluki spirit well. FarmHouse Fraternity member and former Interfraternity Council President Dean Dearing, and Sigma Kappa member Ava Haase were elected by the SIU student body as 2023 Saluki Royalty.

Luiie Barrera President of Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity, Inc. and the Multicultural Greek Council, Abby Tate member of Alpha Gamma Delta and College Panhellenic Council President, Jack Aldihaimawi President of Sigma Chi and the Interfraternity Council, and Fraternity and Sorority Life Coordinator Allison Allbritten attended the Association for Fraternal Values and Leadership Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana at the beginning of the spring 2024 semester. Students brought back new knowledge on how to better serve the FSL community, their chapter, and their council. They met like-minded Greek individuals and got to see new and old friends.
