Greek Life

Fraternity and Sorority Life at WIU

At WIU,  Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) is a great opportunity to get involved!  Becoming a member of the fraternity and sorority community is a fantastic way to make new friends, develop leadership skills, serve the community, get involved on campus and enhance your academic potential. Although each fraternity and sorority is unique, every organization promotes similar values and ideals. Members of our organizations/chapters are heavily involved in campus and community organizations as well as in inter-fraternal committees like the Council Cup, Rho Lambda Honor Society, and Order of Omega Honor Society. Our chapters are governed by four student-led councils: Interfraternity Council (IFC), Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), and Panhellenic Council (PHC).

As you look through our website, you will find various information, chapter facts, and pictures of the fraternity and sorority community in action. If you would like additional information or want to become involved in a fraternity or sorority, please email fsl@wiu.edu.
