Below you will find the recognition status of all of our recognized fraternities and sororities at the University of Maryland. In keeping with the Vice President’s expectation that sororities and fraternities be responsibly managed and participate as constructive members of the community, as a general rule, recognition will not be granted unless the sorority or fraternity chapter:
- Is a registered student organization with the University’s Office of Campus Programs;
- Has a minimum of five (5) currently enrolled University of Maryland, College Park, undergraduate student members;
- Is in good standing with its International or National Headquarters. Newly chartered chapters without an inter/national infrastructure may be exempted from this requirement at the discretion of the Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life (DFSL) on a case-by-case basis;
- Is accepted by one of the four governing councils: the Interfraternity Council, the Pan-Hellenic Council, the Panhellenic Association, or the Multicultural Greek Council, unless exempted from this requirement at the discretion of the DFSL on a case-by-case basis;
- Has reasonably complied with the University of Maryland Chapter Expectations established by the Vice President and the DFSL. New sororities and fraternities must demonstrate a capacity to meet these requirements.

Unrecognized Chapters
WARNING: Some organizations that were once recognized fraternities or sororities on campus continue to operate underground despite having lost recognition from the University.
These organizations have had their recognition revoked by the institution for various reasons, including such things as hazing, alcohol and drug abuse, risk management violations, and failure to comply with University policies and expectations. These organizations have, in almost all cases, also had their charter suspended by their international organization because they were not upholding fraternal values and were engaging in risky behaviors that endangered the members and other students. The following groups have lost recognition and have not been approved to return to campus:
- Delta Chi Fraternity
- Lambda Phi Epsilon Fraternity, Inc.
- Tau Kappa Epsilon
- Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
- Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc.
- Delta Tau Delta
- Pi Kappa Phi
- Alpha Epsilon Pi
- Pi Kappa Alpha (suspended through 2026)
- Delta Epsilon Psi Fraternity, Inc. (suspended through 2029)
