Fraternities have been an essential part of student life, enhancing both the academic and extracurricular experience for thousands of men at Ohio University since 1841. Fraternities at Ohio University are not only social organizations—they are groups that pride themselves in community service, philanthropy, scholarship, honor, and tradition. They are aimed to unite individuals of similar interests while developing them as leaders of men who leave our institution with the transferable skills and experiences needed to achieve success in the real world.
