intersorority

Inter-sorority refers to the relationships, events, and governance involving multiple sororities within a college or university. It describes cross-sorority coordination that complements the activities of individual chapters and their campus-wide Greek organizations. On many campuses, an inter-sorority council or equivalent body oversees shared programming, sets guidelines for joint events, and serves as a liaison among member sororities.

Typical activities include philanthropy drives and community service projects that involve several sororities, social events such as mixers or joint formals, athletic competitions, leadership development programs, and shared resources for recruitment and onboarding. Inter-sorority programming can also address academic support, mentorship, and welfare initiatives, providing a coordinated channel for addressing campus-wide concerns that affect more than one sorority chapter.

Historically, inter-sorority activities emerged alongside the growth of collegiate Greek life, as sororities sought collaborative opportunities and standardization of practices across chapters. Today, most campuses emphasize safety, consent, and inclusivity, and many have policies to prevent hazing and discrimination. The exact structure and emphasis of inter-sorority work vary by institution, reflecting local traditions, campus size, and the relationship to other Greek organizations such as the Panhellenic Council.

Inter-sorority relationships contribute to campus social networks, philanthropy impact, and chapter development, while remaining distinct from the governance of individual sororities. Related terms include interfraternity, Panhellenic Council, and Greek life governance structures.
