The fraternity and sorority experience complements academics, career development, family, and friends. Fraternities and sororities are values-based organizations focused on creating an environment for you to become a better person.

You’ll connect with thousands of other students looking to get the most out of their college experience. You’ll have fun; a lot of fun. But you’ll also gain skills to better balance your time between work and play. You’ll give back to the campus and community. You’ll want to come back after you’ve graduated. Joining a fraternity or sorority is a lifelong experience.

Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University of Cincinnati helps students find their niche at a large, urban university of over 40,000 students. Hundreds of men and women graduate from UC each year with a richer experience as a result of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

Buying your friends? No way. The cost of 4 year membership in a fraternity or sorority house is competitive, if not cheaper, than simply living in the residence halls.

Hazing? Not tolerated. Hazing is a criminal offense in Ohio and is prohibited at the university. Joining a fraternity or sorority is an opportunity to surround yourself with people whom you respect and admire, and who treat you with respect.

Fraternity and Sorority Life embraces diversity and inclusion. We promote full participation and access without regard to race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability status, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion and regional or national origin.
