Values
Scholarship: Fraternity and Sorority Life provides members with support and an atmosphere that fosters academic success and individual scholarship. We encourage each of our members in their studies, offering academic support programs, mentorship, establishing minimum academic standards for membership, and providing incentives and recognition for outstanding achievements.
Service: Fraternity and Sorority Life partners with the campus and local community to extend support and resources to organizations and initiatives in need. Each fraternity and sorority, as well as the Interfraternity, Multicultural Greek and Reno College Panhellenic Councils sponsor community service and philanthropic activities locally and nationally.

Fraternity and Sorority Life also provides campus-level leadership experience and often serves as a stepping stone to other leadership opportunities and activities.
