The Fraternity & Sorority Life community at The University of New Mexico is comprised of over 20 men's and women's organizations. The history of Fraternity & Sorority Life at the University dates back over 120 years and has had a significant impact. Today, our students, 41% of whom are first-generation, are committed to making a difference in the communities they live and learn. With a strong focus on academic performance and leadership development, it is no wonder why students in Fraternity & Sorority Life are found in leadership positions across campus. We are proud to have a system devoted to change and positive growth. To find out more, please explore our website or visit us on social media @UNMGREEKS!
Greek Week is a long standing tradition at the University of New Mexico that sees our Fraternity and Sorority members participate in friendly competitions hoping to win their council’s cup. Throughout the week, the primary focus of Greek Week, has always been to improve the community around us through service and philanthropy. Each year, the community selects a local non-profit organization that is working to improve the lives of others in the Albuquerque Metro Area. Since 2019, Greek Week has raised over $100,000 to benefit others. Last year, in just 10 days, the FSL Community raised a record $26,000 to support Crossroads for Women.
This year, we hope you will help us break last year’s record as we work to raise funds for the Lobo Food Pantry. Since 2014, the Lobo Food Pantry has had a goal to eliminate hunger as a barrier to UNM student success. We want students to focus their best energy on their educational experience, not on finding their next meal. Too many students live on meager budgets and skip meals because they lack funds. The UNM Basic Needs Project found that both food and housing insecurity prevalence are higher among students than in the broader population of New Mexico. UNM students experiencing food insecurity are 1.6 times more likely to withdraw from school than their peers. In a country where food is plentiful, we can do better. Help us do better!
