Fraternity & Sorority Life

Advisors

The success of the Fraternity & Sorority community depends on the advisory support of chapter advisors, faculty advisors, and inter/national headquarter staff. Engaged volunteers are essential to the continued growth of our chapters.

There are three types of fraternity and sorority volunteer advisors:

Faculty Advisors (concentrating mainly on scholarship issues)
Chapter/Grad Advisors (concentrating mainly on chapter operations such as leadership, recruitment/intake, standards, etc.)
House Corporations (concentrating on housing issues, for those groups with houses)
