Being a part of a fraternity or a sorority is a great way to be involved in not only the campus community, but in the local community as well.<\/p>\n

Marshall University has been the host of fraternities and sororities for 97 years. Today, the community has over 500 students holding membership in 17 organizations. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) focuses on scholarship, unity, service and philanthropy, and leadership.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

The LEAD Center supports the academic mission of the institution by creating a vibrant co-curricular Marshall Student Experience.<\/p>\n

This is achieved through the incorporation of outside the classroom programming, mentorship, educational activities, community engagement opportunities, and leadership development. We empower our students to become active in campus organizations so they may learn, grow, and achieve success beyond their collegiate experience.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
