Prospective or New Student
On behalf of New Jersey Institute of Technology’s fraternities, sororities and the Office of Greek Life, we would like to welcome you to the start of your college experience at NJIT.
Your college experience will not be complete without involvement in activities outside of the classroom. Here at NJIT, we help foster future leaders with a wide range of opportunities for leadership with involvement in campus life. One of the greatest experiences for developing leaders for the future is a Greek Life organization.
NJIT Greek Life organizations have had a long and rich history that expands over eighty years. The organizations pride themselves on community service, philanthropy, and scholarship. Greek Life members are involved in every aspect of campus life. You will see them involved in Residence Life as Resident Assistants, Desk Attendants, and Office Assistants. They also work in various departments through out the university. They hold key student leadership positions in Sentate, Student Activities Council, Nucleus Yearbook, ROTC, Honors College, Athletics, and First Year Connections Miniversity. Greek Life members also assist the university with many major events including NJIT Day, Welcome Carnival, Opening Weekend, Spring Week, Alumni Weekend, First Friday, and many other campus programs.
We welcome you to come out and enjoy Greek Life and every other student organization on campus.
Welcome to NJIT!

*We strongly discourage student participation in these unrecognized groups, as the university does not provide any form of support, oversight and advisement for their members. Also, since these groups often lack national affiliation, they may not have liability insurance, or oversight policies for risk management, hazing or sexual harassment. Therefore if one of these chapters would experience a civil lawsuit, a member of that group might be held directly liable by a complainant, exposing himself/herself and their family members to unneeded risk. Furthermore, many times national organizations of these unrecognized groups choose not to acknowledge the University's concerns or to take action against their chapters. Students who choose to become members of these unrecognized groups may not obtain all of the benefits available to those who join a recognized fraternity or sorority.
