FAQs

Since 1878, sororities and fraternities have been an integral part of the Auburn community, built on principles that promote academic success, leadership, community service, and lifelong friendships. These organizations unite individuals with shared values and interests, creating a strong personal and professional network that enhances the college experience.

Benefits of membership include:

  • A built-in support system to ease the transition to college.
  • Academic resources to help students reach their educational goals.
  • Hands-on leadership development opportunities.
  • Encouragement to get involved and make the most of campus life.
  • Meaningful engagement in community service initiatives.
  • Lifelong memberships with opportunities for alumni events and networking.

Councils are governing bodies that oversee and support fraternity and sorority chapters. They set policies, promote collaboration, and organize events for their member organizations. The three councils are the Interfraternity Council, the National Pan-Hellenic Council, and the Panhellenic Council.

The cost of joining a Greek chapter varies, but all organizations require dues. These dues cover (Inter)National fees, chapter operations, and social events. Financial commitments differ between fraternities, sororities, and individual chapters, with new members typically paying higher dues in their first semester due to initiation costs. Additionally, all Greek students at Auburn are billed a $20 Greek Fee on their AU e-Bill semesterly.

Additional expenses may include meal plans, photos, gifts, social events, and apparel. Many chapters offer payment plans and scholarships for members in need of financial assistance. While your son or daughter is participating in the membership intake/recruitment process, make sure that he or she asks about the financial obligations of membership.

The time commitment for Greek life varies by chapter, with the first semester being the most demanding due to new member education or membership intake programs. During this period, new members build leadership and time management skills, learn about the organization's history, and develop friendships with the new member class, as well as the rest of the chapter. After initiation, expectations differ by chapter, but members typically attend weekly meetings and participate in mandatory events such as philanthropy, service, and recruitment.

Academic success is a top priority for our Greek community. Many organizations set Grade Point Average (GPA) requirements and provide study sessions, tutoring, and other resources to support members' academic growth. At Auburn, our Greek students consistently outperform our unaffiliated students in the all-undergraduate average GPA, as well as the all-men's and all-women's average GPAs.

Students who utilize the resources provided by their chapter and effectively balance academics with extracurricular activities, often find that Greek life enhances their academic performance.

Hazing has no place in any organization and is not tolerated at Auburn University. It is also illegal under Alabama state law. Fraternity and sorority members are educated on these laws and policies throughout their membership. If you feel you or someone you know is participating in inappropriate activities, you can anonymously report instances of hazing here.
