Winthrop Firsts
Greek Organizations
There are nine historically African-American, international Greek-lettered fraternities and sororities. The primary purpose and focus of these organizations remains camaraderie and academic excellence for members, as well as service to the community. Each promotes awareness and action through educational, economic, and cultural service activities.
Winthrop has chartered eight of the nine organizations, based on student interest over the years:
Below are the organizations, their chapter names, and their charter members.
