The mission of Fraternity and Sorority Life at New York University is to foster the development of fraternity and sorority chapters and their individual members. Fraternity and Sorority Life offers students a unique opportunity to have a balanced college experience with a focus on academic achievement, leadership development, service participation, and the development of lifelong friendships. Fraternities and sororities constitute one of NYU's largest and diverse student communities. Joining a fraternity or sorority provides students a great way to find their niche within the NYU community and provides a lifetime affiliation that cannot be matched.
