Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) at Florida State University received 117 regional and national awards during the 2024-25 academic year, highlighting the community of more than 7,500 students’ dedication to excellence.

“I am so proud of our fraternity and sorority life community at FSU for being so highly decorated this past year,” said Amy Hecht, vice president for Student Affairs. “Our FSL organizations continue to lead the way in the national conversation around thriving Greek organizations.”

FSU is home to more than 50 fraternity and sorority chapters across five governing councils: Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council, Panhellenic Association and United Greek Council. In the recently released 2026 rankings, Niche named Florida State University No. 1 Best Greek Life College in America and No. 7 College with the Best Student Life in America.

The Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council and Panhellenic Association at FSU were honored at the regional level, winning a combined 10 awards by the Southeastern Greek Leadership Association. FSU’s Panhellenic Association also won the highest honors regionally and nationally for a collegiate panhellenic association.

“It is not surprising to see our community celebrated in this way as their commitment to excellence is evident on our campus every day,” said Freddy Juarez, director of FSL. “Each organization and student continues to commit to fostering collective excellence and thriving as one FSL community.”

Eight organizations won the highest award given by their national organizations for a collegiate chapter: Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Sigma, Phi Iota Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated., Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Delta Tau and Zeta Tau Alpha. These awards celebrate the outstanding chapter management, member development, and educational experiences provided by each chapter.

Additionally, the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors honored FSU’s new program, 5 Senses of Hazing, with a 2025 Elevation in Practice – Innovation Award. Developed by FSU FSL and its student-led peer education team, 5 Senses of Hazing sought to disrupt normalized perceptions around hazing and challenge traditional approaches to prevention education. This high-impact programming initiative took place over three days in June and impacted more than 1,300 students, faculty and staff.
