More than 6,200 current students have chosen to join the Fraternity & Sorority community at the University of Oklahoma. Each of our 56 active chapters is a member of one of our five Greek councils and each offers unique opportunities for personal growth and meaningful experiences to 30% of University of Oklahoma students. Fraternity and Sorority Programs and Services strives to provide a safe, meaningful, and transformative membership experience for all Greek students at OU.
Evidence has shown that, in certain contexts, a student’s sense of belonging improves academic outcomes, increases continuing enrollment, and is protective for mental health. Student Life is dedicated to helping students find their home away from home while at OU and assisting students as they develop their sense of belonging.
