Coe College fraternity and sorority life offers unlimited opportunities and benefits through scholarship, leadership opportunities, social activities, service projects, networking and lasting friendships.
Becoming a member of the fraternity and sorority community at Coe will provide you with a variety of experiences that will help develop you as a student and individual throughout your college years and beyond.
In addition to forging lifelong friendships, you’ll develop leadership skills from holding a position within your chapter or council, achieve academic success with the help of organized scholarship programs and expand your knowledge on a variety of topics such as networking.
Coe College's campus is home to four men's and five women's organizations:
- Sororities — Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta Delta Delta & Sigma Lambda Gamma, Inc.
- Fraternities — Phi Kappa Tau, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Tau Kappa Epsilon & Sigma Lambda Beta, Inc.
Fraternity and sorority members at Coe are known for their social activities on campus due in part to the strong bonds of brotherhood or sisterhood you find within each organization. Each organization plans a variety of activities for their own members along with other fraternity and sorority chapter members. In addition, all of the chapters make academics a priority. Through the years, fraternity and sorority members at Coe have proven to obtain higher GPA's than non-Greek members.
Our fraternity and sorority organizations also are very involved in serving both the campus and the community. Coe College fraternity and sorority members volunteer with local food banks, animal shelters and blood drives — just to name a few. In addition to their extensive community service, each chapter sponsors various philanthropic events to raise money for some amazing causes.
