What Is A Sorority?

A sorority is an organization of female students in college who build lifelong friendships with one another. They are united by common goals and are committed to one another for life. There are varying type of sororities, each of which share common ideals and principles in which all members believe and support.

Social sororities are one common type although there are also multicultural, service, professional, academic and honor societies as well. Sororities are selective in nature, striving to select members who will forward the organization’s core goals.

Greek organizations at University of Illinois are overseen by the Fraternity and Sorority Affairs Office, which consists of four councils who serve as support and advocates for the many Greek organizations on campus.
