Councils & Organizations

The Office of Sorority & Fraternity life works with more than 40 registered student organizations at the University, advises four governing councils, and assists organizations in developmental areas. At the University of Tennessee, nearly 5,000 students and approximately 22% of the undergraduate population are members of our fraternal organizations.

Each respective council is self-governed by student leaders, and hosts programs and opportunities for the member organizations to thrive and reach their potential on campus.
