Welcome Letter
Welcome parents
Welcome to Greek Affairs and to Kansas State University! We encourage you to take a few minutes to browse through this website and to consider why more than 800,000 college students nationwise have chosen to become members of Greek organizations. As a parent of a potential fraternity or sorority member, you'll learn about the incredible opportunties available for your son or daughter.
The Greek community at Kansas State University has been in existence since 1913, with a continuing tradition of excellence. Through the years we have been a community that fosters academic excellence, leadership ability, philanthropic services, and active contributions to both the campus and Manhattan communities. Our Greek system consists of 16 sororities and 29 fraternities, with a total membership of more than 3,000 undergraduate students. While each organization maintains its own activities, traditions, and national affiliations, each is founded on similar principles of scholarship, leadership, community service, and lifelong friendship.
At Kansas State University we are proud to have been recognized as one of the top Greek systems in the country, in addition to receiving yearly national awards. Sixty-five percent of our campus leaders are Greek members as well. Our all-Greek grade point average is higher than the all-university average. The possibilities available to your son or daughter are numerous, with the potential to provide a lifetime of growth and encouragement.
Our Greek community has developed extensive self-governing policies concerning human rights, hazing, and substance abuse. In addition, the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council, comprised of undergraduate chapter members, serve as the governing bodies for the fraternities and sororities.
The Greek experience at K-State provides a safe and fun way to maximize the college experience. Your son or daughter will also find personal growth and development extending far beyond his or her years on campus.
We look forward to beginning this journey with you and working with both you and your student(s) in the future. Please let us know how we can help you.
Sincerely,
Scott Jones, Director of Greek Affairs
Brandon Cutler, Assistant Director of Greek Affairs/Interfraternity Council Advisor
