Being part of a fraternity or sorority is about more than joining a group or having fun—it's about leadership, service and lifelong friendships
Mission statement: Fraternity and Sorority Life at Simpson College is committed to fostering collaborative communities that empower academic development, personal growth, and a philanthropic spirit while connecting students to a rich history and vast network of involved alumni.
Having a family away from home, a strong support network, and friends to create lasting memories are core tenants of Fraternity and Sorority Life at Simpson College. Creating a welcoming and supportive environment within each organization and among our entire Fraternity and Sorority Life community that enhances the celebration of the Simpson Community is paramount to us.
