Clubs and Organizations

Integrity. Civility. Tolerance. Leadership. Teamwork.

At Alfred, you have an opportunity to live out the meaning of these words. Especially if you participate in our clubs and organizations. Joining "student communities" outside the classroom is a great way to make friends, exercise leadership and teamwork, and cultivate the interests that make you who you are.

Fraternities and Sororities

As a college of technology, our emphasis is on education. The four tenets of Greek life focus on developing student leaders, promoting academic success and scholarship, fostering life-long friendships and involving students in community service and philanthropic activities. Given the standards of success associated with fulfilling the four tenets of Greek life, the College has a strict policy regarding pledging Greek fraternities and sororities. Please note the following:

  • First-semester students may not rush and/or pledge any fraternity or sorority.
  • To be eligible, students must have a prior semester and cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher.
  • Transfer students must bring a minimum of twelve credit hours from their previous institution to be eligible for first semester pledging.

Part of determining eligibility includes a status check and a consultative process with faculty to insure academic success with the transition to Greek life.
