Fraternity and Sorority Life

Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) at St. Mary’s University strives to empower members of Greek-letter organizations to excel, promote, and preserve the four principles of brotherhood/sisterhood, leadership, scholarship and service. 

We invite all students to take part in the FSL experience. The influences will take you beyond your higher education experience. Take the challenge and you will realize that your membership will influence you for a lifetime.

Registered Student Organizations

Joining a Registered Student Organization (RSO) connects you to the campus community, creates friendship bonds, and develops your self-confidence and leadership abilities. Students are encouraged to visit the Student Life office and learn about the many student groups that call St. Mary’s University home. If there is a specific interest that you would like to pursue and no organization exists, our office can help walk you through the steps to start an organization tailored to that interest.

Leadership Programs

The Office of Student Life coordinates a variety of leadership programs and initiatives for the St. Mary’s University Community using Clifton Strengths Assessment. We feel it is important for students to gain leadership skills to enhance both their personal and professional life. You can get involved by joining Emerging Leaders, an 8-week program that occurs every semester.
