UA’s fraternity and sorority community is the largest in the nation:
Serving over a third of our students at the Capstone, Fraternity and Sorority Life seeks to cultivate leadership skills, engage with the campus and local Tuscaloosa community through service, and promote unity among members. Each year, fraternities and sororities set aside a time of mutual selection to meet students interested in joining a Greek-Letter organization. Students interested in joining a fraternity/sorority are encouraged to learn more about each council, its recruitment or intake process, and key dates. Please visit Financial Information for an overview of associated costs by council.
The Alabama United Greek Council (UGC) is the governing body for the special interest sororities and fraternities. UGC exists to enable member organizations to share ideas and resources, promote mutual respect and equality, and provide a support network for students on campus.
