Mission

The University of Nevada's Fraternity and Sorority Life exists to promote a unified community of integrity, character, and cultural diversity. We foster academic, personal, and professional successes, continuously striving to improve ourselves and the community.

Vision

Members of the University of Nevada Fraternity and Sorority Community realize their personal and professional potential through their commitment to values-based decision making.

Values

Scholarship: Fraternity and Sorority Life provides members with support and an atmosphere that fosters academic success and individual scholarship. We encourage each of our members in their studies, offering academic support programs, mentorship, establishing minimum academic standards for membership, and providing incentives and recognition for outstanding achievements.

Service: Fraternity and Sorority Life partners with the campus and local community to extend support and resources to organizations and initiatives in need. Each fraternity and sorority, as well as the Interfraternity, Multicultural Greek and Reno College Panhellenic Councils sponsor community service and philanthropic activities locally and nationally.

Unity: We foster positive relationships amongst our members, alumni, faculty, and administration through encouragement of social awareness, mutual understanding, open communication, and a constant commitment to the University.

Leadership Development: Each fraternity and sorority offers its members direct exposure to the development of leadership skills through a variety of executive and chair positions. Fraternity and Sorority Life also provides campus-level leadership experience and often serves as a stepping stone to other leadership opportunities and activities.

Experience: We provide lifelong connections between members, the University, and both local and national organizations. We build a unique campus experience defined by leadership opportunities, intramural athletics, social events, and memories based in tradition.
