Biographical / historical:

The Duke University Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life serves as a liaison between university administration, and student fraternity, sorority, and selective living groups. The office advises, serves and supports 38 nationally affiliated chapters and the general Greek community. Following restructuring under Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta in 2002, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life was supervised by the Dean of Students. In 2012 the Office was moved to Campus Life under Associate Vice President Zoila Airall. The Fraternity and Sorority was then a free standing Office for four years before moving in 2016 under the University Center for Activities and Events (UCAE), an umbrella center for student clubs and organizations located in Campus Life.
