Get connected
and experience all that Purdue Polytechnic offers!
If you count all the student groups, cultural centers and club sports on the Purdue campus, there are more than a thousand ways to meet people, make friends and get involved!
Diversity and Cultural Centers
Everyone is invited! Make new friends by visiting the campus cultural centers.
Club Sports
At Purdue, you don’t need to be a full-time athlete to participate in sports. The Club Sports program offers dozens of sports teams, including co-ed and single-gender, to get your heart beating!
Fraternity, Sorority and Cooperative Housing
In addition to living in residences halls, students at Purdue can explore fraternities, sororities and cooperative housing. More than housing, fraternities, sororities and cooperatives focus on scholarship, service, philanthropic giving, leadership development, and brotherhood/sisterhood/siblinghood.
Historically Black Fraternities and Sororities

Membership is based upon demonstration of moral character, dedication to community service and commitment to academic success.
