Welcome to Georgia Tech! I am so excited to introduce you to one of the oldest traditions here at Tech! Fraternities are as old as the Institute itself, dating back to 1888! Sororities have been at the heart of the advancement of women since women began attending Tech in the 1950's. Today, the fraternity and sorority community is represented by 52 unique chapters and about 25% of our undergraduate student population. I hope you will seriously consider the possibility that fraternity or sorority life may be for you. While each organization is different, there is a strong common thread of promoting strong academic success, service, leadership, and life-long friendships.
The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life advocates for and facilitates the education and development of our community necessary to achieve a safe, innovative and positive fraternity/sorority experience.
The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life will define the greek experience for the next generation
Holistic Development: Our advising focuses on a holistic perspective which is concerned with the development of every person's intellectual, emotional, social, physical, ethical, cultural, creative, and spiritual potentials.
Values Based: We believe in the values each organization's founders determined were the bases for their brotherhood and sisterhood. We challenge each member to hold themselves and their brothers and sisters to these values each day.
Collaboration: We believe in the importance of campus and community collaboration and work at establishing strong partnerships with all that have a stake in the success of fraternity and sorority life at Tech.
Belonging: We approach our work from a fair and impartial standpoint and advocate for the same for every member of our community. We focus on creating spaces for individuals to connect and feel included within the councils.
Empowerment: We believe the fraternity and sorority experience creates the opportunity for each member to become stronger and more confident in their dealings with everyday life.

More than 3/4 of our Greek organizations at Georgia Tech are housed in on-campus, freestanding houses on Institute and/or private property. While they are close in proximity to many Georgia Tech academic and athletic buildings, much of the operations and maintenance are privately operated through individual chapter house corporations.
Greek housing provides a living-learning environment that can promote leadership development, brotherhood and sisterhood fostering a sense of "home," and campus engagement.
The Greek 100 Meal Plan is available only to first-year students living in GT Housing who have pledged a recognized Greek letter organization with a chapter facility and meal plan service of their own Switching to this meal plan does not cancel your plan with GT Dining Services, but lowers your options on the traditional plan to accommodate for the meals you will alternatively receive at the chapter facility Students will have the opportunity to switch to the Greek 100 plan after joining for a period determined by the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life to be communicated in August
The Greek 100 Meal Plan includes 100 meals for the remainder of the semester, $250 BuzzCard Funds, and $100 Dining Dollars.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) also known as the Divine Nine at Georgia Tech is proud to share with you all, The Divine Nine Plaza. The mission of the NPHC is to promote unity and expose members to the “service for life” philosophy, foster leadership development, and scholarship. The NPHC organizations are dedicated and committed to civic engagement, academic achievement, leadership, and providing a sense of inclusivity and equity. Georgia Tech has committed to an initiative to recognize these organizations through the implementation of the Divine Nine Plaza. The plaza will feature nine plots to represent all organizations in the NPHC; Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc., and an amphitheater for events and performances (That are presented by these said organizations and their affiliated groups.). This Divine Nine Plaza will offer an opportunity for NPHC organizations to gather and foster community engagement and programming.
Dating back to the 1920’s, one of the most prominent symbols of Black Greek Letter Organizations on college campuses are plots Plots symbolize each organization by showcasing the colors and symbols as well as national and chapter history. Plots serve as a gathering place and symbolic honor for the past and future generations of Black Greek members. The Divine Nine Plaza will only honor members but allow the university to create a space o this campus emphasizing that our population is growing and ha no plans of leaving Georgia Tech. These spaces will help Georgia Tech students and the population of Atlanta better understand history of these organizations and showcase the importance of representation on this campus. As our motto states, we are “Stronger Together” and bringing more students into our space only help us build our community and make us stronger forever.
Hazing is defined as any intentional, negligent or reckless action, or situation which causes another pain, embarrassment, ridicule or harassment, regardless of the willingness of the participant.
Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life provides education and preventative programs on hazing to our community to prevent hazing from happening and to help new members identify if hazing is occurring and how to address it.
Georgia Senate Bill 85 known as the "Max Gruver Act" was passed in 2021 expanding the definition of hazing, mandatory reporting of hazing violations for Georgia state schools, and violations punishable as a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated nature. More on our website.
Beginning August 2018, Georgia Tech began making public all student organization Student Code of Conduct violations.

What are the benefits of joining a Fraternity or Sorority?
The real question is what is not a benefit! Fraternity and Sorority life is a great opportunity to find life long friendships, hold leadership roles, and develop yourself.
How much time is involved with being a member of an organization?
Usually your first semester will be your most time consuming spent learning about the history and values of your chapters as well as utilizing this time to build relationships as well as finding people who could study with you.
How will Greek Life affect my grades?
Students here at Georgia Tech that are in Fraternity and Sorority hold academic success to an extremely high standard. The overall Greek grade point average is consistently higher than that of nonaffiliated undergraduates.
How expensive is it to join a chapter?
The expense varies by council as well as by chapter. All costs can be discussed directly with the chapter and there is an average for all chapters in their respective council on their council pages. However, many chapter do some version of payment plans as well.
Once they get to Georgia Tech, calling your student and checking up on them occasionally is extremely beneficial. While we may not show it, we will still miss you all.
For NPHC and MPC, it is very important to do your research about the organizations you are interested in. Below we will provide some additional resources for this process.
What does it mean to be a legacy for a chapter?
Legacies are traditionally a student who has had a family member join a chapter that they are interested in looking at. However, Legacy policies vary from chapter to chapter so make sure to ask those chapters if you are considered a legacy.
How can I learn more about the National Pan-Hellenic Council?
Our office recommends doing your own research by following all council Instagram accounts We have provided a few resources below:
