Each fraternity or sorority chapter is an independent organization working with supervision and counsel from university staff, national officers, and volunteer advisors. Belonging to a Greek letter social organization is a lifetime commitment and connection to thousands of other members around the world. Slippery Rock University currently recognizes eight fraternities and six sororities in the Greek system. All students are encouraged to explore fraternity and sorority membership. New member recruitment programs are sponsored each semester by all organizations.
Fraternities recruit new members year round.
All men are welcome to attend as many events sponsored by as many groups as desired. New students and students with a minimum grade point average of 2.25 are eligible to join a fraternity. The Panhellenic Council sponsors several recruitment activities designed to introduce women to each sorority at Slippery Rock University. Special events will be held for first semester women prior to their eligibility for membership. Women interested in sorority membership can join a sorority after their first semester if they have a 2.25 or higher grade point average.
