› Fraternity & Sorority Life

Denison’s fraternity and sorority community strives to be a model of excellence through individuals and chapters that perpetually strive for congruence with the shared principles of fraternity. Scholarship, leadership, civic responsibility, and friendship are the community values that guide fraternity and sorority life.

The Denison fraternity and sorority community includes 34% of students, within 21 greek-lettered organizations and 4 governing councils. The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), Panhellenic Council (NPC), and the Interfraternity Council (IFC) pride themselves on individuality, while also recognizing their common values and principles.

The process for joining a fraternity or sorority is called “membership intake” or “recruitment.” Denison has a deferred recruitment process, meaning each student must complete at least 12 credit hours to join an organization. This allows students to adjust to Denison, focus on their academics, and learn about the variety of involvement opportunities prior to joining a fraternity or sorority. Credits from AP or summer courses do not count as part of the 12 credits required.

Students who join the Denison community in the spring semester, must earn 12 college credit hours and a 2.5 GPA in order to become eligible to join a fraternity or sorority in the following fall semester.
