Greek Life at Morgan State University

Fraternities, sororities, and social clubs were established at Morgan State University as early as 1916 and since then have played an active and vital role in the lives of many of our students.

Currently 19 fraternities, sororities, and social fellowships organized into two governing councils provide many Morgan State students with a personal and interactive collegiate experience. Members of fraternities, sororities, and social clubs are active in all aspects of life on campus including clubs and honor societies, major campus entities such as Student Government, Inter-Residence Council, and Morgan State athletic teams. The organizations themselves provide many activities, events, and programs for the entire campus community. If nothing else, Greek Life provides a broad range of opportunities and experiences for its members from which memories and personal growth are just two of the benefits.
