Fraternities create a home away from home for their members. They help new students in their transition from high school or community college to the University of Florida.
Fraternities also help students remain interested in staying in college.
Fraternity involvement provides the opportunity to meet new friends, learn about the University and what it has to offer, learn about oneself, help others through service, and provide the resources to ensure your academic success. UF fraternities in the year 2000 offer the best way for students to truly become integrated in University life in a supportive academic and social environment. The University of Florida's Interfraternity Council has 20 fraternities. The fraternities draw their membership from a broad variety of backgrounds and offer many different activities. Each of the fraternities acts in partnership with the Interfraternity Council and the University to make fraternities self-governing.
