Franklin & Marshall College - FANDM Overview

  About Greek Life at FANDM

Franklin & Marshall is a small liberal arts college in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and its Greek system reflects that scale — it's an intimate scene with a handful of IFC fraternities and Panhellenic sororities that together make up a meaningful chunk of campus social life. The school draws a lot of students from the Northeast, and that demographic tends to bring some familiarity with Greek culture coming in.

On the fraternity side, IFC chapters include Chi Phi, Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Tau, and Sigma Pi. Panhellenic is made up of Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Phi, Chi Omega, Kappa Delta, and Alpha Xi Delta. There's no NPHC or Multicultural Greek Council presence listed on campus, so the Greek community here operates primarily through those two traditional councils.

Because F&M is a small school, Greek life carries more weight socially than it might at a larger university. It's not the only social option, but chapter events and philanthropies are pretty visible on campus, and membership numbers don't have to be huge for a chapter to have a real presence. Rush and recruitment follow pretty standard IFC and Panhellenic formats — formal recruitment for sororities in the fall, and a more informal intake process for fraternities that runs on its own timeline.

Housing is part of the picture here. Several fraternities have chapter houses, which gives them a physical footprint on campus and a natural gathering point for members and social events. That's pretty typical for schools of this size and age in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Philanthropy events and formals are a regular part of the Greek calendar, and chapters tend to coordinate with the broader campus community on things like community service and fundraising. For a smaller liberal arts school, the engagement level is consistent with what you'd expect — not a massive Greek Row situation, but not an afterthought either.
