Joining a Fraternity or a Sorority

Throughout the college experience at John Carroll University, the friendships that our members make within their chapters lasts a lifetime. Whether you come to college not knowing a single person or you come with friends, the opportunity to be a part of a national fraternity or sorority can transcend your JCU college experience. You will gain a “home away from home” and be involved in a wide range of brotherhood and sisterhood activities.

“Joining a sorority was something that I had considered, so when it came time to go through recruitment my Freshman year I decided to take the chance and go for it. That was the best decision I could have made for myself. Not only have the men and women I met through Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) become my closest and most dependable friends, they encourage me to get involved in my community and are always there to make some irreplaceable memories. If you’re considering joining an FSL organization – go for it!” – Maddie Tobolewski ’20

Some other benefits include, academic support, community service/philanthropic projects, social events and leadership development. Older members encourage you and foster your growth as an individual and as a chapter member. Every chapter has a world-wide alumni network to assist you in adjusting to new communities, finding employment, or just to offer friendship and networking opportunities.
