MORE THAN ORGANIZATIONS. MORE THAN TRADITIONS.
AN INVESTMENT IN AMERICA’S FUTURE LEADERS.

For 250 years, fraternities and sororities have helped young men and women become leaders, citizens, mentors, and community builders.

CFR continues its fight against policies that restrict students' ability to join organizations, limit recruitment opportunities, weaken due process protections, and threaten fraternity and sorority housing. Your support pushes back against these risks.

This is about more than Greek life. It’s about protecting the freedom to associate, defending fair treatment, and preserving communities that develop leaders and strengthen out country.

The Coalition for Fraternal Rights (CFR) exists to ensure that students are treated fairly, policies are balanced, and the freedom to associate is protected for the next generation.

Introducing: the 2027 Greek Student Leader Fellowship Program

Lead the Future

Empower the next generation of Greek leaders.

Sponsor a student for the 2027 Greek Student Leader Fellowship and give them the skills, connections, and experience to lead on campus and beyond.

Learn More

The 2027 Greek Student Leader Fellowship will select up to 200 established and emerging fraternity and sorority leaders to develop leadership, public-speaking, advocacy, and networking skills. Fellows will attend two major experiences: the January 2027 First Amendment Institute in Chicago and a 2027 Congressional Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C., including training and meetings with Congressional offices and Greek leaders.

Parents, chapters, universities, corporations, and others can sponsor a student for $2,500 per event or $5,000 for both, covering lodging, meals, and conference costs. Participants must pay for their own flights or driving expenses.
