    Greek Life at UT

    Greek Life at The University of Toledo is comprised of 30 organizations. The organizations fall under four different umbrella organizations: the Interfraternity Council, the National Panhellenic Conference, the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc., and the Greek Independent Board. Fourteen of our Chapters are housed in McComas Village, which was built in 1990 to show University support for Greek organizations.

    Students who are a part of the UT Greek Community are engaged in a plethora of service, leadership, academic, and social endeavors all around campus and throughout the Toledo community. A huge focus of the Greek Community is uniting the different councils as well as bringing together the campus as a whole through various programming efforts. Traditionally, students involved in Greek organizations hold more leadership roles on campus, perform more service hours, and get better grades than those students not affiliated with Greek organizations. Greek organizations also enjoy collaborating with each other and other campus organizations for opportunities of brotherhood, sisterhood, and socializing!

    Sigma Alpha Epsilon
    Sigma Alpha Epsilon was founded on March 9, 1856 at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa  The mission of Sigma Alpha Epsilon is to promote the highest standards of friendship, scholarship, and service for our members based upon the ideals set forth by our Founders and as specifically enunciated in our creed.  The credd of SAE is "The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe." -John Walter Wayland

    Sigma Phi Epsilon
    Founded November 1, 1901 in Richmond, Virginia, Sigma Phi Epsilon has grown to be the largest active undergraduate member fraternity in the nation.  The twelve founders established SigEp based on the love of God and the principle of peace through brotherhood. This is reflected in our cardinal principles of virtue, diligence, and brotherly love.  The Ohio Iota chapter here at the University of Toledo is truly one of the top chapters nationwide.  A fraternity of firsts, Sigma Phi Epsilon was the first chapter to abolish pledging here at the University of Toledo.  In its place is the Balanced Man Program which places emphasis on campus involvement, community service, and constant involvement with the fraternity during all the undergraduate years.  As a result Sigma Phi Epsilon has had the number one GPA of all IFC organizations for nearly a decade.  SigEps can be found in nearly every major campus organization and often times in executive positions.  We are an organization that strives for excellence in everything we do and will continue to bring honor to this campus and Greek life in general through our involvement, academics, and values. Please visit www.balancedmen.org to learn more about SigEp.

    Theta Chi
    Established in 1856 at the Old South Barracks at Norwich University, Theta Chi has been an essential part in building men with strong character through three basic principles:  truth, temperance, and tolerance.  The fraternity's maxim is "Alma Mater First and Theta Chi for Alma Mater," and refers to one of the founding ideals of the Fraternity: loyalty to one's college or university as well as academic achievement.  Through these ideals Theta Chi has been able to continue the development of gentlemen to this very day. 

    Triangle
    Triangle is a national social fraternity originally created in 1907 at the University of Illinois. The Toledo chapter, the 34th chapter of Triangle, was chartered in 1971.
