At UNK, students support each other. We make each other feel accepted and included. Often, people know your name and smile and wave as you walk by. That’s the UNK difference.
What does it mean to be a Loper? It's different. Lopers are involved and connected, and actively taking part in their learning.
Be proactive. There are more than 150 active student organizations at UNK. Students who are more involved on campus report improved communication and leadership skills.
Friendship is the cornerstone of fraternity and sorority life, but it does not end there. Students in the Fraternity and Sorority Life community at UNK consistently have higher GPA's than the all-campus GPA, while being represented in nearly every registered student organization on campus, as well as Lopers Athletics. Over $100,000 is raised each year for local and national charities. In addition to over 20,000+ hours of hands-on community service is performed to better the UNK campus and the greater Kearney community.
Fraternity and sorority membership offers a well-rounded college experience. UNK's FSL community represents over 700 diverse men and women belonging to 12 different fraternities and sororities. Our FSL community provides opportunities for growth and excellence in academics, leadership, service, and social opportunities.
Above all, the Fraternity and Sorority Life experience is tremendous for those students who choose to join a fraternity or sorority will cultivate life-long friendships and excellent opportunities for personal growth.

Starting in early summer, chapter members will begin to initiate contact with men who have expressed interest on their university housing contract, through New Student Enrollment (NSE), or on this page. Expressing interest in Fraternity and Sorority Life does not obligate you to join. Rather, it gives you the opportunity to learn more about the fraternity chapters through attending recruitment events. Recruitment activities can include phone calls, hometown visits, barbeques, lake outings, athletic events, and countless other ways for college students to get to know one another. Such activities are designed to give both chapter members and potential members an opportunity to become acquainted as friends. The primary recruitment period for fraternities is May through September, though it is possible to join at any time.
If you are unable to come to Kearney and go through New Student Enrollment (NSE) during the summer, be sure to contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at (308) 865-8057 if you have any questions. If you have interest in a particular fraternity, you may view their chapter’s contact information on the "Chapter & Contact Information" tab. If interested, please fill out this form: IFC Interest Form.

Join us for a week dedicated to finding your home in a Panhellenic sorority at UNK! Under the guidance of recruitment counselors, you will be placed in a group of 15-20 other students and given the chance to learn about all the Panhellenic sororities on campus and meet current members. Registration will open on March 26, 2021 following our Greek Preview Day. There is a $50 registration fee (includes t-shirt, some meals, early move-in and more!). The deadline to register for Fall 2021 sorority recruitment is July 20, 2021.
If chapter totals allow, some chapters may have the opportunity to add new members to their group throughout the year. This is most likely to occur immediately following formal recruitment or in the spring semester, but this is not a guarantee. The process is much more informal, and does not require a sign-up. The best way to get started if you are interested is to contact the Fraternity & Sorority Life at 308-865-8057 or complete our Sorority Interest Form.

The three chapters which compose the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) conduct recruitment events specific to each chapter. They typically begin with informational sessions where potential members can get an overview of each chapter and request a membership application. Once a student has been approved to move forward with the process, he or she will continue their community education from the selected chapter. Once the student has completed their specific educational process, the student will be able to "reveal" themselves as the newest member(s) of that organization.
For additional information regarding MGC chapter recruitment activities, please contact the Assistant Director for Fraternity & Sorority Life office at (308) 865-8057, or fill out the form: MGC Interest Form.
MGC sororities: Lambda Theta Nu and Sigma Lambda Gamma
MGC fraternities: Sigma Lambda Beta.
