## Greek Life

Scholarship, service and brother/sisterhood are hallmarks in UMD's Greek community. The [Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life](https://fsl.umd.edu/) (DFSL) advises the chapters and their members of four governing councils: the Interfraternity Council (IFC), Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), and Panhellenic Association (PHA) in educational and leadership programming.

## Athletics

From intramural and club sports to our Division I teams, Terps are active. You can rock-climb at the [Eppley Recreation Center](https://recwell.umd.edu/facilities/facilities), jog around our scenic campus or swim laps in our Olympic-size pool.

The [Department of Intercollegiate Athletics](http://www.umterps.com/) provides hundreds of student-athletes a rewarding experience. Stretch your lung muscles by cheering on your favorite team, like our national-champion women’s field hockey team, and sit in the Xfinity Center’s student section during our hugely popular men’s and women’s basketball games—our student athletes love to see you there!

Club Sports

Club Sports are student organizations, recognized by the Student Government Association (SGA). The Club Sports staff of University Recreation & Wellness oversees and advises all club sports. Many clubs compete against other universities, both on a regional and national level.

Intramurals

Intramural Sports offers team, individual and dual sports as leagues. Players have a weekly regular season schedule followed by playoffs and single day or weekend long tournaments and events.

### Living-Learning Programs

Nothing connects students more than our highly regarded living-learning programs, where students with a common interest share residence halls, classrooms, faculty and friendships to dig deep into contemporary topics and get unique research experiences. Roughly half of all first-year students find their niche in one of these programs. To be considered for a living-learning program, you must apply for freshman admission by the November 1 early action deadline.
