Greek Life

Finding a sense of home on campus is important to all students as they make their new life here at CU. Joining a fraternity or sorority is just one of the many ways to connect with other students, get involved and further develop your leadership skills. Cumberland has five fraternities – Kappa Sigma, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma and Sigma Chi – and three sororities – Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Sigma Tau, and Zeta Phi Beta.

Our Mission

Greek Affairs works to promote a cohesive community that values civic and social responsibility, mutual respect, and the growth and development of organizations and their members. These organizations include 5 fraternities and 3 sororities. Joining a chapter affords students a multitude of opportunities to get ahead. We are committed to help students reach their full potential and become successful after college life.

Greek Affairs advises these student organizations:

  • The All Greek Council
  • The Panhellenic Association (Panhel)
  • Gamma Sigma Alpha Greek Honor Society

Each fraternity and sorority is self-governing. Each organization manages its own operations and maintenance, and develops its academic, social, membership, recreational, external policies and programs. These organizations provide a unique experience in leadership, community planning, and group interactions.
