Greetings from the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life Thank you for your interest in learning about fraternity and sorority life at UAlbany.

Overall, our community has donated their time to development, improvement, and education. This academic year the All Greek Council has introduced the party smart initiative, assisted in developing our sub-governing councils, modified their interview procedures for their junior executive board and strengthen their partnerships with multiple stakeholders. This report is designed to celebrate the core values of our community, recognize our hardworking student leaders, and share their organization story (ies). Sincerely, Arleny Alvarez-Peña, Assistant Director Greetings 3
