JOINING A FRATERNITY AND SORORITY IS
AN EXCELLENT WAY TO MAKE FRIENDS,
BUILD A NETWORK WITHIN THE LARGER
CLEMSON COMMUNITY AND BECOME
WELL-ROUNDED.
ACADEMICS
Grades are an important component for both seeking
and maintaining membership in a fraternity or sorority.
In Fall 2022, the all-FSL grade point average was 3.428,
and 81.6% of all members achieved over 3.0. The six-
year graduation rate is 92.7% (Fall 2016 cohort) and
freshmen-sophomore retention rate is 98% (Fall
2021 cohort).
LEADERSHIP
Members of fraternities and sororities have opportunities
to serve in elected officer positions and appointed
committees within their chapters. The skills you learn
in these roles like running meetings, teambuilding, event
planning and budgeting greatly prepare you for life after
college. Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) also provides
a variety of leadership development programming for
emerging leaders and chapter officers throughout the
academic year.
