Fraternities and sororities have
a long and respected history at Kettering University/General Motors
Institute. The first fraternity organized in 1926, only seven years
after General Motors Institute opened its doors. Today, 45% of our
students belong to a fraternity or sorority.
View a list of current Greek
chapters, governing organizations, their officers, and their
contact information.
Greek chapters are governed by three bodies:
Interfraternity Council (IFC), Panhellenic Council (Panhel), and
Black Greek Letter Organization (BGLO) for the
historically African American Greek Letter Organizations represented in
Flint.
Kettering University maintains a commitment to
create a learning environment with emphasis on a full collegiate
experience for each student. The Greek system works in conjunction with
the University to develop the whole student. Specifically Greek letter
organizations foster:
- Leadership: Fraternities and
sororities foster strong leadership. At Kettering University,
almost all of the top student leaders are affiliated with the
Greek system. According to Fortune Magazine, two-thirds of the
most influential business and political leaders in the United
States were fraternity members while in college.
- Scholarship: In addition to the
national resources chapters utilize to ensure academic advancement
of their members, chapters tap into Institute resources to provide
sound scholastic direction.
- Philanthropics: Community service is
an important aspect of Greek life on our campus. Chapters offer
hundreds of hours and raise thousands of dollars each year for
local Flint and national organizations to fulfill their comment
to community service.
- Athletics: At Kettering University,
the Student Senate Athletic Council sponsors the Intramural
program. Annual awards are distributed to fraternities and
sororities for outstanding sports participation records.
Kettering University does not condone hazing.
Kettering University endorses the statement on the definition of hazing
as distributed by the College Fraternity Executives Association, which
is contained in the Relationship Statement.
All activities sponsored by our fraternities and sororities must be
consistent with their founding principles, and must complement the
educational mission of the University.
