INVOLVEMENT & STUDENT LIFE
Getting involved in college is one of the best ways to enhance your experience. Being an engaged member of the Rutgers University–Camden community provides lasting positive impacts on leadership skills, problem solving, and academics. Whatever your interests and goals, our staff is invested in helping you find your home here!
The Office of Student Involvement advises 50+ recognized student organizations, supporting the planning, development, and execution of their events. They also provide student leaders with workshops, training, and recognition programs that prepare them to become engaged global citizens and impactful leaders post graduation. To learn more about our student organizations and events on campus, you can log into Engage with your NetID.
The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs advises 8 sororities, 5 fraternities & 1 council of chapter delegates through service, scholarship and social engagements. Cornerstone events include Leadership Retreat, Greek Week, and monthly personal and professional development programs. Our Greek Life members strive for excellence in all areas of campus life, including academics, research, and student involvement.
