Fraternity and sorority involvement can provide students with an invaluable experience during their time at Queens. Fraternities and sororities have existed on our campus for almost 100 years. Approximately 90% of our fraternity and sorority community are student leaders elsewhere on campus as well, from the Student Government Association to athletics to any of our additional clubs and organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) looks to enhance the Queens experience for its students by connecting members over shared interests and values and creating opportunities for personal growth through values-based leadership and engagement. Being a member of a fraternity or sorority is about making lasting friendships, committing to a common set of ideals, and enhancing your personal development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Service<\/div>\n

One of the advantages of being a part of a sorority or fraternity is the opportunity to help others in need. Each organization has local and national causes that they support through fundraising and awareness events. We\u2019re a service-based school and our fraternity and sorority members are no exception\u2014they completed over 8,000 hours of community service last year alone.<\/p>\n\n <\/component><\/component> <\/div>\n

This is the principal foundation upon which all FSL organizations are built. As a member of a fraternity or sorority, you\u2019ll meet students from varying backgrounds and from all corners of the globe. Membership in a fraternity or sorority expands beyond your college years, as you\u2019ll explore new interests, learn new skills, and forge friendships that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n <\/component><\/component> <\/div>\n
