The University of Texas at Austin is home to more than 65 national fraternity and sorority chapters. These chapters are under the authority of one of UT Austin's seven Greek council communities, Interfraternity Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council, Latino Pan-Hellenic Council, Texas Asian Pan-Hellenic Council, Multicultural Greek Council, United Greek Council and University Panhellenic Council. Other recognized Fraternities and Sororites exist as Affiliates. Affiliate Membership targets two groups: fraternities and sororities that fit into a current council structure and are waiting until they can petition a council, as well as fraternities and sororities that do not fit into a current structure but still want to be a part of Sorority and Fraternity Life.
