Fraternity & Sorority Life
Fraternity and sorority life is a great way to plug into campus and find your people. You will meet friends who share your interests and values, are dedicated to their academics, contribute to the community, and enjoy having fun together.
Social:
Building Community, Leadership and Lifelong Friendships
Being part of fraternity and sorority life means having a group that shows up for you, celebrates your wins and supports you when things get stressful. The friendships and connections you build often last long after college and can help you feel more connected to UM‑Flint and the wider community.
The Office of the Dean of Students staff works closely with all recognized fraternities and sororities to support their organizations and help their members grow as student leaders on campus.
