Our Community

Chapters

Our sorority and fraternity community is home to around 60 social sororities and fraternities, each one a member of one of five governing councils, or the Affiliate Leadership Circle. The comprehensive listing below includes details for each organization, including their council affiliation and contact information for the chapter president.

Council Communities

Councils are registered student organizations that provide student led governance for a collection of member sororities and/or fraternities, who are also registered student organizations at UT Austin. Councils focus on community service, academics, leadership development, and supports positive collaboration within their community. Explore each council to learn what makes our sorority and fraternity community unique.

Affiliate Leadership Circle
  • Affiliate Leadership Circle (ALC) is comprised of registered student organizations that share the organization category of sororities and/or fraternities. During the expansion phase, an organization first connects with Sorority and Fraternity Life and applies to become an Affiliate Leadership Circle organization. Most, but not all, ALC organizations will eventually petition to join a governing council after establishing as an affiliate organization. Affiliate Leadership Circle organizations receive the resources and benefits associated with being an officially recognized SFL organization.

  • Member Organizations of ALC
Interfraternity Council (IFC), fraternities
Latino Pan-Hellenic Council (LPHC), sororities and fraternities
National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), sororities and fraternities
  • The National Pan-Hellenic Council at The University of Texas at Austin is the governing body for the nine historically African American Greek-letter organizations often referred to as the "Divine Nine." Six of these organizations are active registered student organizations at UT Austin. The purpose of NPHC is to unify the historically African American fraternities and sororities, by promoting community service, academics, leadership development, and collaboration.

Expansion and Affiliation

The University of Texas at Austin is an open expansion campus and Sorority and Fraternity Life (SFL) in the Office of the Dean of Students offers support to expanding and establishing organizations in a variety of ways. To begin the process, please reach out to our staff in order to best discuss your unique details and timeline. Our office supports expanding organizations on campus, however your organization will not be an officially recognized member of the SFL community until you register as a student organization with Student Organizations, and complete the affiliate membership application.

SFL affiliate membership assists social sororities and fraternities by connecting organizations with our office in order to provide resources and support. Affiliated organizations and their members receive resources and benefits associated with being an official recognized Greek letter organization. Most, but not all, organizations will eventually petition to join a governing council community after establishing as an affiliate organization.

When should my organization affiliate with Sorority and Fraternity Life?

The affiliation process is driven by your timeline and initiative. Once your organization has registered with Student Organizations, the student members/interests may apply to affiliate with our office. We also understand that you may need to take some time to create and gather the documents that are required to affiliate. No matter where you are in the process, we recommend connecting with us so we can help you!

How can my organization begin to recruit before being recognized as a student organization?

We understand that an interest group may need to gain members before petitioning Student Organizations to become an organization, which is the first step of affiliation. Please contact Sorority and Fraternity Life to be connected with the expansion and affiliation coordinator. This staff member will assist your organization with a few room and tabling reservations in order to jumpstart your recruitment efforts even before you affiliate with our office. Once you've gained ten members you can apply to be a registered student organization, and will have access to room reservations.

What is the best way to begin expansion and gain new members/interests at UT?

Many organizations who are new to campus get their name out through a myriad of tactics:

  • table on campus
  • hold info sessions
  • create opportunities for students to get involved, such as a service day or speaker
  • connect with councils to make announcements or be a guest at an event
  • connect with academic areas and request to make announcements at events or send a flyer out on their listserv
  • meet with UT academic and student affairs leaders and ask for recommendations
  • connect with other student organizations which may have related values
  • request other chapters' "no bid lists"
Which councils can my organization join?

Once your organization has been recognized by Sorority and Fraternity Life as an affiliate, you can begin to petition councils to become a member. Learn more about the council communities by reviewing information online or contact a staff member with any questions. Additionally, you can review their constitutions for membership requirements.
