Greek Life

Being part of a fraternity or sorority is about more than joining a group or having fun—it’s about leadership, service and lifelong friendships

 

Mission statement

Fraternity and Sorority Life at Simpson College is committed to fostering collaborative communities that empower academic development, personal growth, and a philanthropic spirit while connecting students to a rich history and vast network of involved alumni.

Having a family away from home, a strong support network, and friends to create lasting memories are core tenants of Fraternity and Sorority Life at Simpson College. Creating a welcoming and supportive environment within each organization and among our entire Fraternity and Sorority Life community that enhances the celebration of the Simpson Community is paramount to us.

Involvement in Fraternity and Sorority Life connects students to something larger than themselves with our longstanding traditions, rich history, and vast network of passionate alumni. Students will also give back to the community through volunteer work and raise money for philanthropies within the community.

Fraternity and Sorority Life provides opportunities for members to grow holistically. Whether it be through rigorous academic programs designed to support students and encourage them to achieve, leadership skills, or education about embodying the values of your organization, members are pushed to continuously develop themselves.

  • For our sororities, Formal Recruitment will be from September 20th to the 22nd, with bid day being the 22nd.
