Fraternity and Sorority life

Welcome to Fraternity and Sorority Life at UC Merced!

The Office of Student Life provides a wide range of innovative student-centered opportunities for you. Membership in a fraternity or sorority is a good first step toward enjoying all the benefits that come with being a student at UC Merced. Membership in a Greek-Letter Organization provides a great peer network of students who can help you navigate all the campus and the local community has to offer.

Collectively, fraternities and sororities constitute one of the largest student groups on campus. They are affiliated with large national organizations that are founded upon principles of leadership, scholarship, service and brotherhood or sisterhood.  Members of a fraternity or sorority experience a fun-filled calendar of activities from community service events with local charities to formal dances.

Equally important, fraternities and sororities offer the opportunity for leadership experiences that can enrich a life on campus and beyond. Many of the University's faculty and staff are members of fraternities and sororities. Fraternity and sorority members are found in all facets of today's society, from government to business to the arts and service agencies.

The University encourages you to fully explore the opportunities offered by the fraternities and sororities on campus.
