Fraternity & Sorority Life

The Franklin Square group of college and university presidents stated:

"A thriving Greek [sic] community can enhance student learning and leadership, build strong ties between the institution and its future alumni, and develop well-rounded students who value community and citizenship. The ability of higher education and fraternal headquarters to hold Greek communities accountable to their stated values can positively transform the student culture. In addition to eliminating negative behaviors, healthy Greek organizations can support and develop positive student outcomes" (p. 4)

Experience the four pillars of Leadership, Scholarship, Friendship, and Service.  Students looking for brotherhood and sisterhood that continues beyond the college experience can explore joining one of sixty-two (62) recognized chapters on campus.

[Tuesday, June 30, 2009]
BERKELEY, CA - F&S Life has been successful in hiring a new graduate assistant for the upcoming school year.  Alexis Cooke will be joining us in late July as she starts her master's degree in public health. She is a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill and an active member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

Her primary duties with us involve advising the large, community-wide programs such as Greek Carnival, Greek Week, etc., and the local chapter of Order of Omega, the national Greek honor society.

As a way of introduction, she wrote the following:

I am a native to Washington D.C and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2008. Since graduating I have been working at Georgetown University as a Research Assistant in the Department of Psychiatry. Within the department I work for the Center for Trauma and the Community which focuses on improving the mental health of low-income women and their families in the Washington D.C metropolitan area. While at Berkeley I will be obtaining my MPH in the Health and Social Behavior program. In the Spring of 2006 I joined the Omega Iota Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated and have been active in Greek Life ever since.

Welcome to Berkeley, Alexis!
