Welcome to the Truman State Fraternity and Sorority Life Community!
The Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) community at Truman State University dates back to 1914 and now includes 17 fraternity and sorority organizations on campus. With around 550 members, FSL makes up approximately 22% of Truman’s campus community.
FSL at Truman State values leadership, scholarship, unity, and growth as members work toward becoming the best versions of themselves. Guided by a One Greek mentality, the community values collaboration, support, and positive role modeling across campus and beyond.
The FSL community maintains a 3.40 GPA, with 48% of members involved in other campus organizations and 22% holding leadership positions in those organizations. Members also remain committed to service and philanthropy, raising more than $86,000 for national and local causes, including support for national philanthropies, Greek Week’s local philanthropy, and Homecoming’s local efforts.
Our Mission
Since the founding of our first chapters, Fraternity and Sorority Life has brought together students who are committed to leadership, service, scholarship, and personal growth. Our chapters provide opportunities for members to build community, develop as individuals, and grow personally and professionally. While honoring the foundations of our community, we continue to move forward through shared values of leadership, scholarship, unity, and growth.
Our Vision
As a fraternity and sorority community, we strive to be a collective of hardworking, forward-thinking leaders who foster connection, support one another, and contribute positively to Truman State University and the broader community.
Our Values
- Growth – We are conscious of the size and makeup of our community. We look to support the livelihood of existing and potential new chapters. Opportunities are provided for personal and professional development in order to attract new members while fostering the growth of current members in every facet.
- Leadership – Using our voices, individually and collectively, we set a positive example for others. Alongside our collegiate and local city communities, our members work to pursue opportunities for impactful change. We are cognizant of how our actions, decisions, and behaviors are viewed by others. Reflecting on those views, we continuously push our standards forward through initiative and innovation.
- Scholarship – Academics are a top priority for every chapter and its members. We advocate for members to achieve their full academic potential beyond the pursuit of grades, but for the sake of learning. Therefore, we serve as an academic example to the campus and local community.
- Unity – As a community, we prioritize inclusion within our chapters and their operations. By being intentional in building connections within and outside our community, support is provided to fellow students regardless of affiliation. We stay attuned to issues that impact our community and recognize roles we have for potential action. Ultimately, we demonstrate that together our fraternity and sorority community is a powerful force — as a collective unit, we achieve more.
