HOMECOMING IS ALMOST HERE

Homecoming brings together students, parents and alumni to celebrate their Sun Devil spirit. The festivities showcase Sun Devil spirit through athletic events, activities and entertainment. Homecoming this year will be held from November 17-23.

As you prepare your journey back to campus we wanted to share a few highlights of our community from the last few months to help spark conversations with the current students. We are looking forward to seeing you and your fellow Greeks showcase your ASU Spirit, Pride, and Tradition.

The New Kids On The Block

Fraternity and Sorority Life has been growing over the past few months and you may see some new organizations on campus this Homecoming.

In the spring 2024 semester, Alpha Tau Omega began recruitment efforts and in October the Zeta Alpha chapter was re-chartered at ASU.

In the fall 2023 semester alpha Kappa Delta Phi Sorority, Inc. created an interest group under the moniker “Serenity”. The 67th chapter of alpha Kappa Delta Phi was charted in November.

This fall semester Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority, Inc. began its recruitment efforts at ASU and the Montezuma chapter of MSU will be welcoming new members to our community in the coming days.

Please join us in congratulating and welcoming our new and returning Greek Life members.
