Mission

The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life and Community Involvement enhances the academic experience, holistic development, and civic contribution of students by providing effective services and developmental opportunities that enrich the Carolina experience.

OFSL-CI advocates for the fraternal movement by educating, advising, and empowering fraternities and sororities and their members to live according to their organizational values and contribute to the University and greater community.

OFSL-CI provides resources and coordinates services to assist students in transitioning to off-campus living. We promote authentic relationships between students and their neighbors by encouraging them to be active and responsible members of the communities in which they live.

Vision

The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life and Community Involvement will help students achieve excellence through both interfraternal and off-campus living experiences.
