FSL 101: Foundations of Fraternity & Sorority Life

What is FSL 101?
FSL 101 is a 45-minute educational program required for all potential new members (PNMs) before beginning their chapter education process. This program reflects the recommendations of the Fraternity & Sorority Life Transformation Initiative and aligns with federal guidance from the Stop Campus Hazing Act.

The Panhellenic Association (PHA) at the University of Maryland oversees the recruitment process for the university’s 16 National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities.

NPHC Intake & Recruitment

The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) at the University of Maryland represents historically Black fraternities and sororities, also known as the “Divine Nine.” These organizations were founded at a time when Black students were denied access to many campus activities and organizations, including historically white fraternities and sororities. Today, they continue to uphold traditions of academic excellence, cultural empowerment, service, leadership, and social justice.

MGC Intake & Recruitment

The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) at the University of Maryland does not coordinate a council-wide or collaborative recruitment process. Instead, each MGC organization leads its own unique intake or recruitment process that reflects its values, traditions, and national guidelines. These processes are open to students of all cultures, backgrounds, and identities who are interested in joining a community grounded in cultural pride, academic excellence, leadership, and service.
