We want to create an environment that benefits the entire Wagner Community by intentionally uplifting students that hold marginalized identities.

Some of these activities include but are not limited to collaboration with other campus offices, engagement in meaningful and intentional dialogues about identities and societal issues.

Fraternities and sororities have been an important element of the Wagner College community since 1931. Fraternity and Sorority life at Wagner College is built upon the premise that these organizations enhance the educational mission of the College and provide an element of residential and social character to the campus.
Wagner College believes involvement in fraternities and sororities is one of many ways to enhance the quality of life for students by providing a range of opportunities for meaningful individual involvement, development, and growth. The College also believes fraternities and sororities are organizations that are committed to educating members and potential members about the ideas of scholarship, community service, leadership, brotherhood and sisterhood, interfraternalism, personal integrity, and social development.
The Honors Community is for any student who hopes their residential experience especially supports their academic and intellectual goals. This floor is ideal for those interested in exploring new ideas about themselves and the world. The Honors Community in Guild brings the Honors Program home.
