Fraternity & Sorority Life
The Higdon Center for Student Leadership and Fraternity & Sorority Life serves as the center of programming and advising for the entire College of Charleston fraternity & sorority community, which includes twenty-seven nationally affiliated chapters. Along with our three governing councils – the Interfraternity Council (IFC), the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), and the Panhellenic Council – and two honor societies - Order of Omega and Rho Lambda - this community is focused on providing an enriching college experience for all of its members. We are here to serve as a resource for our students and help provide programs and workshops that can assist them in developing into responsible, social, and contributing members of our society.
At the College of Charleston, it is our goal to be a nationally recognized Greek community. To fulfill this goal, we strive for continuous improvement in all aspects of scholarship, programs, services, and operations.
