Welcome Osprey! We're glad you're here. Fraternity & Sorority Life at the University of North Florida is the fastest-growing Fraternity and Sorority Community in the State of Florida.
Becoming a member of a Fraternity or Sorority offers you the experience to
"Go Greek"
- an experience second to none. Within these organizations, you will find an opportunity filled with true friendships, resolute camaraderie, academic support and peer mentoring, active leadership development, service to the community, fun social events, athletic involvement, and constant exciting times. With a fraternal experience, you will find that 60% of collegiate learning that happens
outside the classroom. You will quickly meet many new people on campus, find a family away from home, become involved in all that the University has to offer, grow and strengthen your confidence, network with thousands of people across the globe, climb to new heights of leadership, bolster your resume, gain potential scholarship money, and literally
become ready for anything as you graduate and head into the 'real world.'
Centuries ago, the ancient Greeks developed "ritual" as the way of transitioning their young men into warriors and their young women into fearless leaders. This was a way of "initiating" their sons and daughters into life. It was a very proud process - one of letting their children go from the covering of their youth, spurring them to venture out and
find themselves
through the discovery of their own personal courage, strength, and confidence.
They began with the nerve, the goal, the
raw ambition
and notion to push; to train; to move; to enliven... to UNLEASH them into the world, ready for anything; proving them so strong, so capable, that
victory
in life would be inevitable.
Today, Fraternities and Sororities carry-on this ancient legacy of the Greeks by embodying their same resolute mindset. By adhering to their founders' sets of strong- ethics and values, and truly readying today's college students through leadership development and character-building, Fraternities and Sororities equip their Brothers and Sisters for success; preparing them for victory in life; ready for anything the world has to throw at them.
Students of all backgrounds and cultures have found a place for themselves and thrived within the University's Fraternities and Sororities. UNF hosts 24 Fraternity (men) and Sorority (women) organizations ("chapters"), and nearly 2,000 students are currently involved in the Community. In all, Fraternity & Sorority Life adds a dimension to one's college experience that simply is not found in other organizations.
We encourage you to check out the University of North Florida's Fraternities and Sororities by going through 'recruitment' or 'intake.' You can find out more on recruitment/intake and when/how each individual organization's council brings-in new members by clicking on the "Recruitment" link on the left-hand menu item of this homepage.
With Fraternity and Sorority Housing planned to break ground in the near future and all of the amazing growth and events constantly happening within Fraternity & Sorority Life, you'll find it's an exciting time to be in a Fraternity or Sorority here at UNF! The most incredible opportunity you have in college is that of being able to design and write an entirely new chapter of your own life - to make decisions and put learning to use that will literally determine the course and direction of your life. We hope to meet you soon in one of our 24 organizations as you make this new chapter one of the best experiences you'll ever have.
GO GREEK!
