UMKC's fraternities and sororities make an important contribution to life on campus by providing leadership opportunities for students and service to the community. Sororities and fraternities play a vibrant role in campus life. Students who choose to join a social fraternity or sorority organization will have the opportunity to be part of a well-rounded, co-curricular experience. Recruitment activities typically occur in the fall, but also occur in the spring depending upon the chapter.

Sororities and fraternities at UMKC have been a large part of campus life since 1952. Our organizations constantly work together to promote the highest ideals and standards. Each fraternity and sorority is unique in its own way, but all offer the opportunity to experience leadership, develop high academic standards, social activities, and community service and philanthropic projects.

Currently, UMKC has 16 social fraternities and sororities and three governing councils.
