Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fraternity?

A fraternity represents a group of men sharing interests and common values.

While attending college, students have the opportunity to find other students with shared values and build communities and organizations. A fraternity can help students forge bonds with each other that will last throughout their college years and into their professional life as well. Connections through the fraternity also help students gain professional experience and vital networking skills.
