The mission of the Student Life is to guide students in realizing academic, professional and personal goals as they progress toward graduation and beyond.
WELCOME!
More than 4,500 current students have chosen to take advantage of the many benefits of fraternity and sorority life at OU. These benefits include academic assistance, leadership development, close friendships and community involvement. Each of our 50 active chapters is a member of one of our four Greek councils, and each offers a variety of opportunities for personal growth and meaningful experiences.
Interfraternity Council:
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is made up of 18 fraternities. IFC organizes a formal recruitment week during the first week of fall classes and the third week of the spring semester. Men who are interested in participating in these recruitment events are encouraged to register online.
Multicultural Greek Council
The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) is made up of 11 culturally based fraternities and sororities. A couple of these chapters were actually founded right here at OU. MGC hosts a recruitment week the first week of classes during both the fall and spring semesters. Chapters will host chapter-specific recruitment events (rush) during the two weeks following MGC recruitment week.
National Pan-Hellenic Council
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is made up of nine historically African-American fraternities and sororities. Individual chapters may host intake at various times throughout the year. Students interested in joining should contact individual chapters for more information about their intake processes.
Panhellenic Association
The University of Oklahoma Panhellenic Association is the umbrella organization for the 11 NPC sororities chartered at OU, and is responsible for organizing activities of mutual concern and interest to all the NPC sororities on campus. Each member group is autonomous as a social, Greek-letter society of college women and alumnae. Panhellenic Recruitment occurs the week prior to fall classes. Women who would like to participate in Recruitment must register by July 15.
