Fraternities and sororities are values-based organizations founded on four core principles:

Friendship

Fraternity and Sorority life promotes the development of close ties through living, studying, working, collaborating, and having fun together. The friendships created through Greek life support the overall connection to the College and to other organizations as a community.

Scholarship

Fraternity and Sorority organizations stress academics, from recruitment to graduation. Fraternity and Sorority members have access to resources including study groups, educational workshops, and scholastic awards.

Leadership

The Fraternity and Sorority community offers opportunities for developing leadership skills. Members build skills in organization, delegation, goal setting, and time management that are necessary for success in college and beyond.

Service

Fraternity and Sorority organizations participate in a variety of service projects and philanthropic events throughout the year. There are always new opportunities to get involved and give back to the Oneonta community.

The Office is Campus Activities serves as the primary advisors to Fraternity and Sorority organizations. Hartwick College currently recognizes four fraternities and four sororities. Each of these organizations is an important part of the Fraternity and Sorority community. Each chapter has unique characteristics formulated from rich traditions, making them attractive to diverse populations.
