Fraternity and Sorority Life
With a focus on fun, friendship and giving back, Greek life helps you become the best version of yourself.
When you join a fraternity or sorority, you build relationships and join activities that transform your educational experience. And the impact lasts long after graduation. You’ll have the support of a strong alumni network as you find your place in the world, as well as the leadership skills to help change it for the better.
By joining a fraternity or sorority at NIU, you’ll help bring these important values to life on campus:
- Social impact: Give your time and talent to make a difference on campus and in the community.
- Academic success: Excel in the classroom to thrive in your career and reach your goals.
- Diversity and inclusion: Help create an environment of respect and acceptance for every Huskie.
- Leadership development: Gain skills and experience to be a compassionate, effective leader.
