Texas A&M University-San Antonio is taking steps to grow our current fraternity and sorority life community by re-convening the Fraternity/ Sorority Expansion Committee. The purpose of this committee is to ensure that the expansion of fraternity and sorority life at A&M-San Antonio is conducive to the university's mission and values. The goal of the fraternity/sorority expansion process is to invite new sororities and fraternities to establish chapters on our campus.

Fraternities and sororities support the enhancement of student learning through activities encouraging leadership development, organizational management, interpersonal and group dynamics, social development, philanthropic spirit, career development, and academic achievement. These organizations can be a valuable component of the undergraduate experience.

The Expansion/Extension Committee shall consist of the following:

• Fraternity/Sorority Life Advisor (Chair)
• A Delegate from each chapter of The All-Greek Council
• Dean of Students or their designee
• Staff Representative
• Faculty Representative

Expansion/Extension Process

Please Note:

The university will not recognize local fraternities or sororities as members of the Fraternity & Sorority Life community.

Expansion/extension for a fraternity/sorority is not automatic, "campus crashing" or forming a group of interested students without the approval of The Office of Student Life or by the Inter/National headquarters will not be tolerated.
