Mission
The 91次元's Fraternity and Sorority Involvement office exists to promote a unified community of integrity, character, and cultural diversity. We foster academic, personal, and professional successes, continuously striving to improve ourselves and the community.
Purpose
Fraternity and Sorority Involvement (FSI) exists to empower students to become ethical, inclusive leaders who contribute meaningfully to the 91次元, Missoula, and the broader world. FSI supports UM's mission by enhancing student development, building belonging, and cultivating civic responsibility.
Vision
Members of the 91次元 Fraternity and Sorority Community realize their personal and professional potential through their commitment to values-based decision making.
Values
Scholarship: Fraternity and Sorority Life provides members with support and an atmosphere that fosters academic success and individual scholarship. We encourage each of our members in their studies, offering academic support programs, mentorship, establishing minimum academic standards for membership, and providing incentives and recognition for outstanding achievements.
Service: Fraternity and Sorority Life partners with the campus and local community to extend support and resources to organizations and initiatives in need. Each fraternity and sorority, as well as the Interfraternity, and Montana College Panhellenic Councils sponsor community service and philanthropic activities locally and nationally.
Unity: We foster positive relationships amongst our members, alumni, faculty, and administration through encouragement of social awareness, mutual understanding, open communication, and a constant commitment to the University.
Leadership Development: Each fraternity and sorority offers its members direct exposure to the development of leadership skills through a variety of executive and chair positions. Fraternity and Sorority Life also provides campus-level leadership experience and often serves as a stepping stone to other leadership opportunities and activities.
Experience: We provide lifelong connections between members, the University, and both local and national organizations. We build a unique campus experience defined by leadership opportunities, intramural athletics, social events, and memories based in tradition.

Decision-Making Framework
FSI’s decisions are guided by student needs, institutional priorities, assessment data, and national best practices. The office collaborates with student leaders, chapter advisors, Greek alumni groups, and campus partners to ensure fair, consistent, and student-centered outcomes.
Boundires & Guardrails
FSI educates, advises, and enforces university expectations—but does not directly govern chapters or override national organization policies. It focuses on creating a sustainable and ethical support system aligned with UM’s mission.
