FSL Awards

The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life is excited each year to host the annual FSL Awards Process and Ceremony. The FSL Awards are a time to celebrate all of the achievements that chapters have had over the past year. Chapters are encouraged to use the standards listed under each category as a best practices guide to aid in planning, goal setting, and general chapter operations. Fraternity & Sorority Life will recognize those chapters that demonstrate excellence in meeting these standards.

  organization that more accurately depict the achievements of the chapter.
