Governing Councils

The Sorority and Fraternity Life (SFL) Community at the University of Kansas is home to 41 sororities and fraternities and each chapter is governed by a council. A council is a group of fraternities and/or sororities that work together to support a common mission/vision. Currently, there are four councils advised by the Office of Sorority & Fraternity Life:

These organizations are grouped by affinity, history, goals, etc. Each council is overseen by a council advisor (a SFL staff member) and a team of student leaders who serve as the council executive board. Each council's executive board can be found on their individual council page. Each of our chapters belongs to a council based on a common purpose and values.

We encourage you to explore each council and what they have to offer to ensure you find your community.
