List of Georgia Tech fraternities and sororities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The first fraternity to establish a chapter at Georgia Tech was Alpha Tau Omega in 1888 before the school held its first classes.[1] Tau Sigma (local) was established in 1954 as sorority on campus; it later became a chapter of Alpha Xi Delta.[1]

Georgia Tech has over fifty active chapters of social fraternities and sororities.[2] All of the groups are chapters of national organizations, including members of the North American Interfraternity Conference (IFC), National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), and National Pan-Hellenic Council. Most of the IFC and NPC organizations have houses on Georgia Tech's campus, generally on or near Fifth Street, Ferst Avenue, Fowler Street, or Techwood Drive, in the area known as the Greek Sector.[3]

As of the fall of 2023, 25 percent of Georgia Tech's male undergraduates belong to a fraternity and 32 percent of its female undergraduates belong to a sorority.[4] Members of the university's fraternities and sororities provided more than 48,000 community service house and raised students $206,000 for local and national nonprofits in the 2012 to 2013 academic year.[1]

Following is a list of Georgia Tech fraternities and sororities.

Notes

[edit]
  • One of numerous co-educational chapters of a nationally all-male fraternity.
  • Only Christian chapter of a nationally nonsectarian fraternity.

Panhellenic Council

[edit]

There are currently eight full and two associate members of the Georgia Tech Collegiate Panhellenic Council.[5][6] Because Alpha Delta Chi (a national Christian sorority) and Alpha Omega Epsilon (a national engineering sorority) are not members of the National Panhellenic Conference, the Georgia Tech chapters of these organizations are classified as Associate Members of the Georgia Tech Collegiate Panhellenic Council.
