Fraternity and Sorority Life began at Southern Methodist University in 1915 when the first four fraternity chapters were established. Ninety-four years and tens of thousands of members later, the fraternity and sorority community is vibrant and now offers twenty-eight (28) national fraternities and sororities.

The first four chapters founded in 1915 were:

  • Kappa Alpha Order
  • Alpha Delta Pi
  • Alpha Omicron Pi
  • Phi Mu
