Fraternity and Sorority Life
Students in our Fraternity and Sorority community reflect a broad range of backgrounds, missions and experiences. Each chapter is founded on shared principles of leadership, service, scholarship and community. Together, they form a network of students committed to making a difference.
Our Greek Life model focuses on:
- Leadership and Integrity: Fostering responsible, ethical student leadership.
- Equity and Inclusion: Creating spaces where every student can belong.
- Wellness and Safety: Promoting health, accountability, and care among members.
- Service and Engagement: Strengthening campus and community ties through volunteerism and philanthropy.
Each council and chapter is recognized by SFSU through the Division of Student Life and is expected to operate under university and state compliance guidelines.

Best practices for members and leaders
Leadership is not just about letters — it’s about leaving a legacy of respect and care. We encourage all current and prospective members to model the following best practices for a healthy, sustainable fraternity and sorority experience:
Represent your organization with integrity and honor its founding principles.
Maintain strong academic standing and seek peer accountability.
Participate in community projects and philanthropy.
Create inclusive environments that welcome all identities.
Uphold all university policies regarding hazing, alcohol, and risk management.
Report and address issues promptly with advisors and Student Activities staff.
AB 524 – The Fraternity and Sorority Transparency Act
SF State upholds full compliance with California Assembly Bill 524 (AB 524), known as the Fraternity and Sorority Transparency Act.
This legislation requires universities to provide public access to information about recognized Greek-letter organizations, including:
- Chapter recognition status
- Conduct history related to hazing, alcohol, or safety violations
- University disciplinary actions and standing
This transparency ensures that all students and families can make informed decisions about joining Greek organizations.
