CU Denver is excited to announce the launch of Sorority & Fraternity Life. Our first four organizations will begin officially recruiting students this Spring with the February 3rd Recruitment Orientation. Register here!

By starting a sorority and fraternity community in Spring 2022, we have the unique opportunity to harness the impactful and empowering experiences these types of organizations provide and cultivate a community centered on participants’ sense of belonging, inclusiveness, and leadership development.

  • A fraternity or sorority is a brotherhood, sisterhood, or siblinghood formed around common values, goals, and aspirations.
  • The members who form a fraternity or sorority share a desire to make an impact on the communities they inhabit while learning to become a better version of themselves.

CU Denver’s Sorority & Fraternity Life (SFL) program is committed to fostering the development of socially responsible leaders through the encouragement of mutual respect, cultural sensitivity, and community contribution.

CU Denver’s Sorority & Fraternity Life program is committed to honoring and supporting students of varying identities, specifically underrepresented person/groups in the areas of race, culture/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status, religious/spiritual affiliation, and veteran status. Encouraging a culture of cultural empathy and inclusion, members of Sorority & Fraternity Life organizations are required to participate in a comprehensive leadership development curriculum centered on developing socially responsible leaders, mutual respect, and cultural sensitivity.

CU Denver will implement an innovative model of Sorority & Fraternity Life focused on management of organizations through the lens of transparency, accountability, and inclusion.

  • Health & Wellness

  • Members will be empowered to explore career/professional development opportunities and network with Sorority & Fraternity Life organization alumni. 
  • Members will enhance CU Denver school spirit through active involvement in on-campus events, health and wellness programming, and community engagement. 
  • Members will understand civil and social responsibility associated with campus and organization behavioral policies.

Meet the Groups

CU Denver has selected four groups to begin our community during the 2021-2022 academic year.  We have additionally selected two more groups who will join our community once these first four organizations are underway.

Alpha Phi

Alpha Phi’s uniqueness is rooted in the spirit of innovation originated by Alpha Phi’s ten Founders in 1872. As they made history as the first female students on campus, several decided that they were not satisfied with merely participating in the classroom. Denied admission to the men’s fraternities, thier Founders chose to create their own fraternity for women. The very heart of Alpha Phi membership is connected by a common set of ideals and a unique bond of sisterhood, a spirit of generosity, high expectations for character, and a drive for innovation.

Delta Lambda Phi

Delta Lambda Phi Social Fraternity was founded in 1986 by gay men for all men. They offer gay, bisexual, and progressive men the opportunity to grow in the true spirit of brotherhood — one that embraces diversity and respects the value of all. Since then, the Fraternity has grown into a thriving international organization. For over twenty-five years, Delta Lambda Phi has offered these men the opportunity to lead, grow, and form lifelong bonds of friendship with other like-minded men.

Lambda Sigma Upsilon

Founded in 1979 as a Latino Men's Fraternity (or Latino Social Fellowship), the 20 founders were men who believed that underrepresented groups, particularly ethnic minorities, were not getting the attention or services needed to advance their academic successes. Lambda Sigma Upsilon acts as a support group for these groups, as well as to provide a family away from home. Originally founded as a Latino organization, Lambda Sigma Upsilon has proven to be one of the most diverse fraternities in the nation.
