Campus information that helps students picture the place, the pace, and the possibilities.
Florida A&M blends a vibrant cultural legacy with strong academic programs and one of the most recognizable brands in HBCU life.

FAMU alumni organizations continue using gatherings and community events to support scholarships and mentoring. Friends of FAM reports more than $430,000 raised since inception and 160 scholarship recipients through its broader scholarship work. HBCU Campus Life is not using an unverified social-media claim that one recent event alone raised $125,000.
FAMU alumni giving is more than a fundraising statistic. Scholarship organizations and alumni groups can influence who is able to enroll, persist and participate fully in campus life. Friends of FAM reports more than $430,000 raised since inception and 160 scholarship recipients through its broader work, showing how alumni networks can turn school loyalty into direct student support. Campus Life will treat that relationship as an ongoing story. FAMU’s identity includes its academic programs, student organizations, Greek Life, the Marching 100, homecoming traditions and a national alumni network. Those pieces become more meaningful when we show how they connect to current students rather than presenting them as isolated traditions. Greek Life Watch: future fraternity and sorority items on this page will identify the organization and chapter when verified and tie the mention to an actual activity—service, mentoring, scholarship support, campus programming or community engagement. We will apply the same verification standard to alumni fundraising claims, which is why the unconfirmed $125,000 figure from a recent social-media post is not being presented as fact.
FAMU’s fraternity and sorority community spans four councils and more than 30 chapters and affiliated organizations. The NPHC includes all nine Divine Nine organizations, while FAMU also supports professional, independent and music-oriented Greek councils. Its annual programming includes the Homecoming Step Show, Greek Week, Meet the Greeks, Greek Life 101 and the Greek Awards Gala. That gives Campus Life a clear standard for this page: when a fraternity or sorority is highlighted, we will identify the organization and connect it to the specific program, service effort, scholarship, mentoring activity or campus tradition involved.
