Fraternity and Sorority Life

It’s about more than wearing letters—it’s about building lasting connections that positively impact your academic experience.

For almost 40% of Butler students, building life-long friendships, developing leadership skills, and supporting philanthropic initiatives through membership in a fraternity or sorority helps make the most out of their college experience.
