Fraternity and Sorority Life

Fraternity and Sorority Life at Christian Brothers University is a vibrant and diverse community committed to the core values of scholarship, leadership, service, and social engagement. Greek Life students consistently achieve a GPA higher than the all-student average and contribute thousands of service hours each year.
