Thirty Florida State University Fraternity and Sorority Life organizations have won 122 awards recognizing their leadership, scholarship and service. Several chapters received the highest honors from regional and national organizations, showcasing their commitment to excellence and significant contributions to their communities.

FSU is home to over 50 fraternity and sorority chapters across four governing councils: Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council and Panhellenic Association. In 2024, NICHE ranked Florida State University No. 1 as the Best Greek Life College in America and No. 6 College with the Best Student Life in America.

“Fraternity and Sorority Life at FSU has been a pillar of the FSU community for over 100 years,” said Amy Hecht, vice president for Student Affairs. “We are honored to see our chapters recognized at unprecedented levels by their individual governing organizations at the regional, national and international levels. We are proud of these students and deeply thankful to the countless stakeholders who give their time and energy to this community.”

The vision of FSU’s Fraternity and Sorority Life is to develop a community that enables individuals to make values-based decisions, learn tangible skills and contribute to the betterment of the global community.

“The continual recognition of our chapters demonstrates the strong commitment this community has to excellence in their organizations,” said Freddy Juarez, director of Fraternity and Sorority Life. “The FSU community will continue to foster not only a safe community but one poised to thrive and foster leadership at all levels.”

Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Zduy Chu emphasized the growth and impact various organizations have experienced within their communities.

“It’s been amazing to see how the student leaders and these organizations have grown over these past few years,” Chu said. “I’m proud of what they do for our community and am happy to see them acknowledged for their impact.”
