Focused on empowering each member, Fraternity and Sorority Life at Arkansas Tech is built on the principles of scholarship, leadership, service, and unity. Members of these Greek lettered organizations will create life-long friendships while gaining an enriching and rewarding experience.
Fraternity and sorority membership begins during recruitment and lasts a lifetime. While you're in college, the Arkansas Tech Fraternity and Sorority community will help you meet your personal, academic, social, cultural, and recreational goals. The entire fraternal community encourages you to get involved through a variety of programs and activities. Whether serving on a scholarship committee or chairing a campus fundraising project, all members are challenged to reach their personal best.
Currently, Arkansas Tech has 12 chapters on campus: Seven (7) fraternities and Five (5) sororities. The Interfraternity Council, College Panhellenic Council, and National PanHellenic Council act as the governing bodies for these Greek lettered organizations and provide opportunities for all groups to work together to promote Fraternity and Sorority Life.
Social fraternities and sororities have been an active part of ATU for over 40 years. Although each chapter offers a unique experience, students who join a fraternity or sorority can expect to participate in similar experiences that contribute to a well-rounded, fun, and enriching experience at Arkansas Tech. The fraternity and sorority experience at Arkansas Tech is committed to:
2025 Fall Sorority Recruitment (September 4 - 7, 2025): Register TODAY!!!
There are two opportunities for women to join one of our four National Panhellenic Council sororities at Arkansas Tech University. The first is Formal Fall Recruitment, which takes place in September. There is also Continuous Open Bidding (COB), which is an informal recruitment process that begins on the last day of Formal Fall Recruitment and concludes Reading Day in the Spring. Not every chapter participates in Continuous Open Bidding.
During Formal Fall Recruitment, women will have the opportunity to visit with members of each sorority to determine which chapter offers the best fit. Women will begin by visiting all four Panhellenic sororities and, through a mutual selection process, will narrow down their selections to two sororities before being matched with a sorority on the final day of recruitment. It is an exciting, emotional, and life-changing experience!
Contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at fsl@atu.edu for details or questions!
2025 Fall Fraternity Recruitment (September 8-12, 2025): Register TODAY!!!
During Formal Fall Recruitment, those who are interested will have the opportunity to visit with members of each fraternity to determine which chapter offers the best fit.

At the end of the week, individuals will be invited to "invite only" events hosted by chapters. On the final day of recruitment, chapters will extend a bid to those individuals who they would like to join their chapters and a decision will be made by those individuals.

Meet the Greeks - Fall and Spring Semesters
This annual event is an opportunity for students to come to the Hindsman Bell Tower (fall) and Hull Student Union (spring) to meet all the fraternities and sororites that are active during Welcome Week. Although students will have multiple opportunities to meet with our affiliated students, this event will allow students to gain one-on-one time with our organizations to see if joining is the right fit for you!
Greeks Give Back
Arkansas Tech fraternity and sorority members donate and deliver food items to the local elementary schools for the River Valley Food 4 Kids program. The donated items were gathered as part of the annual Greeks Give Back program administered by the Order of Omega National Greek Honors Society and the ATU Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. The food donated will help ensure that elementary students have access to a reliable supply of nutritious, easy to prepare food. The Greeks Give Back program started in 2013 and have raised over 100,000 food items for River Vallley schools and one local pantry.

V. Arkansas Law, § 6-5-201 and § 6-5-204
Arkansas law prohibits hazing. Guidelines provided in this statute are enforced in this policy.
1. Any willful act on or off the property of any school, college, university, or other educational institution in Arkansas by one (1) student alone or acting with others which is directed against any other student and done for the purpose of intimidating the student attacked by threatening him or her with social or other ostracism or of submitting such student to ignominy, shame, or disgrace among his or her fellow students, and acts calculated to produce such results;
2. The playing of abusive or truculent tricks on or off the property of any school, college, university, or other educational institution in Arkansas by one (1)student alone or acting with others, upon another student to frighten or scare him or her;
3. Any willful act on or off the property of any school, college, university, or other educational institution in Arkansas by one (1) student alone or acting with others which is directed against any other student done for the purpose of humbling the pride, stifling the ambition, or impairing the courage of the student attacked or to discourage him or her from remaining in that school, college, university, or other educational institution, or reasonably to cause him or her to leave the institution rather than submit to such acts; or
4. Any willful act on or off the property of any school, college, university, or other educational institution in Arkansas by one (1) student alone or acting with others in striking, beating, bruising, or maiming; or seriously offering, threatening, or attempting to strike, beat, bruise, or maim; or to do or seriously offer, threaten, or attempt to do physical violence to any student of any such educational institution; or any assault upon any such student made for the purpose of committing any of the acts, or producing any of the results, to such student as defined in this section.
5. The term ''hazing" as defined in this section does not include customary athletic events or similar contests or competitions and is limited to those actions taken and situations created in connection with initiation into or affiliation with any organization.
Arkansas Tech University is dedicated to promoting a safe and healthy campus environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Hazing activities are counterproductive to this effort. Therefore, Arkansas Tech University has a zero tolerance policy for the practice of hazing activities by any member of the university community.
Members of the university community involved in, encouraging, aiding, and/or assisting in hazing or hazing related activities are subject to disciplinary action and reporting of involvement to local police. Failure to report known hazing incidents to a university official or to local police may result in disciplinary action.
This policy applies to faculty, staff, students, Registered Student Organizations, official university groups, alumni, visitors, vendors, and invitees on campus.
