In the coming 2024-2025 academic year, the Association of Independent Living Groups (AILG) has set the dates of the fall Plenary Meetings – Thursday, September 19 and Thursday, November 21. Additional AILG dates will soon be available on the Calendar.

Fraternities, Sororities and Independent Living Groups (FSILGs) are an integral part of student life and serve a vital role in the MIT undergraduate residence system. FSILGs have a long history at MIT – the very first MIT student housing was provided by fraternities. Today, almost 40% of all MIT undergraduates belong to 38 (very) different organizations. FSILGs provide one-quarter of student housing with chapter houses located in Cambridge, Boston and Brookline.

The AILG is the federated group of Alumni Corporations and Advisory Boards involved with MIT’s FSILGs. The AILG is led by alum volunteers, with staff and financial support provided by the FSILG Office and the MIT Division of Student Life. More than 40 alums volunteer annually in various roles – on the Board of Directors and on different committees.

New volunteers are always welcome! Please check the Volunteering, Calendar, and Committee pages for more information.
