Greek Life
Greek-letter societies became an early part of student life at UNCW when the first social fraternity was formed in January 1964, just six months after Wilmington College became a four-year institution. Fraternities and Sororities have continued to grow at UNCW with membership now above 12 percent of the overall student population, exceeding the national average. The Interfraternity Council (IFC) comprises 14 fraternities, and the Panhellenic Council is made up of 9 sororities. The National Pan-Hellenic Council has 7 historically-black organizations, three fraternities and four sororities. UNCW also has one additional special interest sorority. Several fraternities and sororities have on-campus housing in Schwartz Hall, University Suites and University Apartments.
