Daytona Beach Campus Clubs and Organizations

The Office of Student Activities works to develop an active campus life by providing programs and activities for students to realize their academic and personal potential.

The Student Activities office helps students feel connected to the university through leadership development programs, student organizations, and other programs. Student organizations continue to grow and thrive on campus. With approximately 120 organizations, there are many opportunities to become involved. Being part of a club enables students to enhance leadership skills through workshops, retreats, and leadership programs. When students participate in events, they help enhance campus life outside the classroom.

To participate in a student organization, students must be enrolled at Embry-Riddle, have a minimum 2.0 CGPA, and be in good standing with the university.

Student Activities office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to-5 p.m. Contact the office at (386) 226-6039 with any questions, or stop by and meet the staff in the John Paul Riddle Student Center, room 107.

FRATERNITY/SORORITY LIFE

The views expressed on the following Web sites are those of the creators and do not necessarily represent those of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.


Sorority and fraternity life provide excellent opportunities for college students to find a home away from home, develop leadership skills, enhance academics, and create a foundation for their future. Greek life is often the catalyst that leads its members to become a part of the top leadership organizations on campus, including SGA, honor societies, orientation team, and resident assistants.

Each chapter also gives its members hands-on experience in leading committees, managing budgets, interacting with faculty and administrators, organizing and facilitating educational programs, and participating in community service projects.

Greek organizations offer members the tools to help them succeed in their future. Perhaps the most wonderful reward is the bond of brotherhood and sisterhood. Many of the friendships made in Greek organizations will go beyond the college years to last a lifetime.
