Expansion Information

Farmingdale State College support its students' right to assemble and form groups based on shared interests, values, and mission. To support our students, the Office of Student Activities creates opportunities for learning, involvement, and development.

Due to the complex nature of Fraternities and Sororities, the Office of Student Activities has developed a specific procedure for the expansion of new Greek-Lettered Organizations. Farmingdale State College recognizes that the expansion/extension of Greek-lettered organizations involves several parties: the inter/national fraternity or sorority, the college, and the Greek Council.

Current Expansion Projects

• Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.
