Greek Life
Greek Organizations provide members with a “Home away from Home.”
All fraternities and sororities at SUNY Potsdam share the common values of Friendship, Scholarship, Community Service, and Leadership. Beyond these four core values each fraternity and sorority has something that makes them unique, allowing students to find a chapter that is right for them.
You will often find members of the Greek community in the library, helping their peers on campus. Greek members also do a lot out in the local community through humanitarian and environmental projects.
Fraternities and Sororities at SUNY Potsdam are all about:
- Friendship
- Scholarship
- Community Service
- Leadership
A message from All Greek Council
Due to recent events, All Greek Council, on behalf of the SUNY Potsdam Greek Community, would like to clarify that our fraternities and sororities are values based organizations. The recognized Greek houses at SUNY Potsdam* share the common values of Friendship, Scholarship, Community Service, and Leadership. As recognized houses, we work hard to uphold our values and meet the expectations of the College and the Community. We take pride in being Greek because we commit ourselves to these higher standards.
Groups who have continuously disregarded the standards of Greek Life, the College, and the Community cannot be viewed as Greek organizations. As a Greek Community, we have chosen to no longer affiliate with any organization that is no longer recognized by the College. Sigma Pi (Sig Pi) and Phi Chi Epsilon (Phi Chi) are banned organizations at SUNY Potsdam. They are no longer part of the Greek Community and their actions are not representative of the recognized Greek houses at SUNY Potsdam. They should no longer be considered, or referred to, as fraternities.
