CURRENT TASKS
CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT
Fraternity and Sorority Life
Our Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) Community is unlike any other community in the country. With over 155 years of tradition, 40 active men's and women's organizations, and just over 3,000 members, the fraternity and sorority community at GW is one of the strongest, healthiest, and largest communities at an urban institution in the country. The FSL community has information about our various councils, how to meet our members, learn about the groups, and see if this is an #OnlyatGW experience you want to be involved in.
Student Organizations
Our more than 475 registered student organizations are an important and vibrant part of life at GW. Representing a spectrum of causes and interests, our student organizations create the most frequently attended and highly anticipated events on campus and offer endless opportunities for involvement and leadership.
Excellence in Leadership Seminar
The Excellence in Leadership Seminar, hosted by the Office for the Student Experience, allows GW students to refine their leadership skills. Students can participate in sessions designed to prepare them for future leadership positions - on- or off-campus.
D.C. ACTIVITIES
