Fraternity & Sorority Life hosts first award ceremony!
On Dec. 9, 2022, Lafayette College hosted the first annual Fraternity & Sorority Life award ceremony. This ceremony was created to highlight the work put in by chapters over the 2022 year.
Fraternity and sorority communities still have work to do in order to combat the stigma around themselves and the Lafayette FSL community is taking incredible steps to do just that and positively impact the College and the student experience.
Congratulations to all the winners.
