WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL

 
 

Greetings from the Interfraternity Council at the University of Kansas. The University of Kansas has many excellent and long-standing traditions that aid in creating a wonderful college experience at the best institution. One of these outstanding traditions at the University of Kansas is Sorority and Fraternity Life. The fraternity community operates under four pillars: scholarship, leadership, service, and friendship. These four pillars have created the framework that has created such a rich tradition at KU that will help create lifelong relationships and memories that help each member get the most out of their college experience. 

The main reason we attend the University of Kansas is to receive a world-class education. This is demonstrated in our community year after year as we surpass the University average GPA and graduation rates. The average Interfraternal GPA is higher than the average rate for all University males. More importantly, the average interfraternity new member GPA exceeds that of the average all University Freshman GPA and retention rates. These statistics speak largely towards the academic tradition that has been instilled in the tradition of fraternal life at the University of Kansas. By providing a great number of educational opportunities and assistance programs within our communities, we are giving our fraternity men the tools to get the most out of their four years in college. 

In joining a fraternity, there are also plenty of leadership opportunities that are presented. Whether it be in your chapter, on campus, in your community, a fraternity helps these opportunities become more available for the development of the person that has been mentioned previously. Many predecessors within the Greek community have held very important positions at the university that have set themselves up for success in the real world. By sharing their experiences and opportunities within their community, others have been able to take advantage of these opportunities to receive the same experience and set themselves up for the same successes. 

Given the educational and leadership opportunities that the fraternity community presents for its members, they are granted the chance to develop the skills necessary for success in their future endeavors. 

The decision to join a fraternity is a lifelong one, and with it will come lifelong benefits, all with the hopes of building better men, preparing them to be productive members of society, and in the process creating friendships that will last a lifetime. With 17 chapters residing under the Interfraternity Council, KU features one of the largest fraternity communities in the country with endless opportunities available for all students. We hope you will consider becoming a part of this great KU tradition.

Fraternally, 

The 2024 Executive Board
