Black Greek Organizations

Black sororities and fraternities are a second home to college students who identify as Black. Kappa Theta Epsilon and Sigma Pi Phi extend Greek life beyond the undergraduate level and serve members outside of a college affiliation. The organizations host activities for their members, campus, and community, including community service and cultural events. The collegiate organizations typically belong to a Multicultural Greek organization on their campus, where members can network and build friendships within their campus Greek life.
