Fraternities and sororities are recognized by SUNY Cortland through the Campus Activities and Corey Union Office. Recognition allows chapters to have a relationship with the university along with active membership and involvement in the Greek system and its governing boards. In order to be recognized by SUNY Cortland, all fraternities and/or sororities must be associated with a National fraternal organization.  Local sorority Nu Sigma Chi was grandfathered in when this requirement was put in place.

Greek Interest Survey:  Live from 8/1/25 through 8/31/25.

While this annual survey is intended for incoming students, continuing students are also welcome to complete and submit.  Completing this survey does not commit anyone to joining a chapter.  It merely expresses an interest in knowing more and provides contact information for chapter recruitment personnel.  The link to the survey will be provided below on August 1st.
