Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity
Alpha Sigma Phi is the nation’s 10th oldest Fraternity, founded at Yale University in 1845. Our Mission is to be the co-curricular and continuing organization of choice. Our Motto is to Better the Man. We achieve this by giving our undergraduates the best experience possible and help them develop academically, personally, professionally, and socially. By doing so, we have been able to be the fastest growing fraternity in the world for the last five years.

Gamma Zeta Alpha
In 1987, fifteen men founded Gamma Zeta Alpha Fraternity, Inc., aiming to support Latino students in higher education through leadership development, academic scholarship, and cultural support. Recognizing the limitations of other student organizations, they established the fraternity to fulfill these goals, focusing on academic excellence, community service, and the maintenance of Latino culture through brotherhood. For over three decades, Gamma Zeta Alpha has cultivated leaders and strengthened the Latino community, consistently delivering quality programs that benefit their institutions and surrounding areas.
Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity, Inc.
Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity, Inc. was initially founded by Latinx individuals from Cal Poly Slo who sought brotherhood and "Carnalismo" in a community that alienated them. They laid out the foundation of an organization that would help students, many of whom are first-generation college students, be successful in college, and continue higher education. Brotherhood and culture continue to be a central part of NAK; we learn from each other and our struggles to change and break barriers for the various communities we come from. Our three pillars are Academics, Culture, and Brotherhood.
