  • Greek Life Page 1 of 2
    UAB - Students - Greek Life Page 1 of 2 Greek Life UAB’s sororities and fraternities are diverse organizations that allow students to find a home away from home during their time at UAB. These organizations focus on scholarship, service and philanthropy, leadership, campus involvement, and brotherhood/sisterhood. Our organizations currently fall under four main councils: the College Panhellenic Council (CPH), the Interfraternity Council (IFC), the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), and the National Panhellenic Council (NPHC). Currently our fraternity and sorority members have incredibly high levels of involvement within and outside of Greek Life, and the All-Greek average GPA is higher than the All-student GPA at UAB. No matter the council or organization, fraternity and sorority life is an outstanding opportunity to make the most of your college experience. Below you will find a list of our organizations under each council. To learn more about each council and their organizations, as well as information about how to join, click on the B-Sync link below.
