As we look towards Giving Blueday, the University of Michigan's annual day of giving, we have a unique opportunity to shape the future of Fraternity & Sorority Life (FSL) on our campus.

In the vibrant tapestry of University of Michigan’s alumni, few shine as brightly as Dr. Marcus Collins, a distinguished member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. initiated through the storied Delta Rho Chapter at our university. Dr. Collins’ academic and professional journey is a compelling testament to the power of cultural understanding and its transformative influence on marketing and consumer engagement.
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) at the University of Michigan currently consists of seven of the Divine Nine. Each semester, these organizations engage in a number of educational and/or service programs that contribute to the ongoing support and development of the University of Michigan Black student community. During this edition, we want to highlight each of the seven organizations and a significant event that they accomplished this academic year.
The mighty maize and blue waves of sorority spirit just surged with freshness and vigor as the University of Michigan Panhellenic Association (Panhel) revels in the successful culmination of its Winter 2024 Recruitment efforts.

In the spirit of unity and environmental stewardship, members of the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) took initiative in a commendable neighborhood nature restoration project, exemplifying service beyond expectations.
We are thrilled to introduce the fresh faces that have joined the fraternity and sorority community.

In the spirit of fostering stronger ties with the Ann Arbor community and demonstrating the commitment to civic responsibility, the 2023 Interfraternity Council (IFC) Executive Board recently spearheaded a remarkable initiative – a post-game cleanup after the Purdue vs. Michigan football showdown. This event not only showcased the unity within the fraternity community but also emphasized the importance of actively contributing to the well-being of the neighborhoods that have been a home away from home.
Picture this: a gathering of National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) members, children in Halloween costumes, and the vibrant energy of the Burns Park neighborhood – that's right, it's the cherished Trunk or Treat tradition!
