Fraternity and Sorority Life
About Us
Fraternities and sororities were first recognized by Towson University in the early 1970s, and over the years, have played an integral role in the campus community. Fraternity and Sorority Life currently represents approximately 7 percent of the total undergraduate student population with more than 1,300 active members.
The university employs one full-time coordinator and a part-time graduate assistant to oversee the fraternity and sorority community. The coordinator is the primary adviser for the Greek system’s four Governing Councils (fraternity and sorority governing bodies) as well as the 28 individual chapters that fall into the four umbrella organizations. The professional staff manages fraternity and sorority recruitment and intake processes, and facilitates a variety of leadership and educational programs for fraternity and sorority members.
Fraternity and Sorority Life regularly partners with other university departments such as Athletics, the Counseling Center, Campus Recreation Services, and the Career Center, putting on programs designed to enhance the co-curricular experience for fraternity men and sorority women at TU.
Greeks at Towson University are extremely involved on campus. Fraternity and sorority members belong to a variety of other student organizations such as the Student Government Association, Student Ambassador Program, Campus Activities Board, Council of Student Leaders, and the Black Student Union, just to name a few!
Greek-letter organizations also work diligently in the area of philanthropy. Fraternities and sororities on Towson's campus raised a combined total of $23,040 throughout the spring 2009 semester for their organization's national philanthropy foundations and programs.
