Fraternity and Sorority Life

More than 6,300 USC students are a part of fraternity and sorority life — a community that was founded on the values of scholarship, leadership, friendship and service.

More Than Meets the Eye

While fraternities and sororities are known as a great way to meet people and foster new relationships, the value of our community extends beyond social interaction.

1,010 members earned a 4.0 GPA during the Spring 2019 semester; that’s around 16% of our fraternal community!
In the 2018-19 academic year, UofSC fraternity and sorority members completed nearly 123,000 hours of community service and donated more than $1,150,000 to philanthropic partners.
Our chapters participate in a number of leadership programs, including an emerging leaders course, a Men's and Women's Leadership Conference, and officer-based training!

Update: Greek Village Parking Proposal

Since Greek Village was first developed, there has been rapid growth in the University of South Carolina’s Greek community. As a result, parking issues near Greek Village have arisen during mandatory meal periods required by the organizations. To address these concerns, the university’s Board of Trustees Building and Grounds Committee considered a plan on Friday, Sept. 27 to make 800 parking spaces available by utilizing a number of surface parking options located immediately adjacent to Greek Village. These spaces would be exclusively for the use of fraternity and sorority members during meal periods.

This solution would cost significantly less than an older proposal to construct a multi-level parking deck and delivers convenient parking options that more quickly meet the needs of the Greek community.

Note: the project is pending final approval from the Building and Grounds Committee and full Board of Trustees, which is expected to consider the plan during its Oct. 11 meeting.
