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, 35% of all MIT undergraduates belong to 43 (very) different organizations. FSILGs provide close to 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.
