CU Boulder Fraternity & Sorority Life would like to introduce you to the newly recognized fraternity community at CU Boulder! Fraternity life is changing nationwide, and recognized chapters will be able to be a part of an innovative movement to shape what fraternity means to CU Boulder. 

Over the course of the next few weeks, our new fraternities will be holding rush events to recruit men who truly want to make a difference at CU Boulder. Because our chapters are new to campus, students who choose to join the recognized chapters will have the ability to shape their chapter culture and influence the development of a soon-to-be CU Interfraternity Council.

To learn more about the campus's new fraternity community, join us to learn more about Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Tau Gamma and Beta Theta Pi at the CU Boulder Fraternity Open House from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 19, in UMC 235.

The fraternity experience is one that can provide members with a deep connection not only to their chapter but also to our alma mater. It is also an experience that can be different if you choose to join a recognized chapter. We encourage you to visit following websites for more information.

• CU Boulder Fraternity & Sorority Life 
• Beta Theta Pi
• Phi Delta Theta
• Sigma Tau Gamma
