Our Fraternity and Sorority community have a rich tradition at the University of Kentucky, starting in the 1890s and continuing to provide support, friendship, and leadership to the UK community. We currently have 55 social and cultural fraternities and sororities.

Our community has over 5,000 members, across 4 governing councils. The governing councils here at UK are the Interfraternity Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council, Panhellenic Council, and United Greek Council.
