About Us
Fraternities and sororities have been a part of Northwestern University since 1859 and have played an important role in the lives of thousands of students and alumni since then. They contribute much to the campus community through educational programs, social activities, service projects and leadership development opportunities. For decades, Greek organizations have provided a sense of belonging and community for students.
