Arizona State University - Greek Life

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Greek life is big at ASU, but by no means does it dominate the social scene. Pledging a fraternity or sorority is an easy way to meet people and gain access to some parties. If you intend to join, be prepared to shell out some cash and commit a good portion of your time. Also, pledging may get in the way of meeting people outside the Greek community. If you’re interested in Greek Life, the best thing to do is participate in rush week before making a decision to pledge. Rush week is a great opportunity to meet the members of all the fraternities and sororities and to eat their food. The Greek life scene has gone through some major changes in the last several years. Many of the fraternities ruined it for the rest of the prideful Greeks here by getting involved in inappropriate activities, and breaking all of the rules. Sadly, the scene has gone downhill in a big way since then.

A lot of the popular fraternities have since been kicked off campus. The sororities haven’t gone through any major changes, and aren’t as notorious for breaking rules and getting in trouble. They do however have a pretty bad reputation for being promiscuous and snobby. Of course, these stereotypes that students pin on Greek life are not true for everyone involved. There are still quite a few Greeks who love the scene, and overlook some of the less desirable events from the past, and not every sorority girl is on Girls Gone Wild. Still, if you’re looking to be involved with Greek life that is either the dominate scene on campus, or has a great reputation, you’re probably not going to want ASU’s Greek life. If you’re interested in being part of a multicultural frat or sorority, there are plenty to choose from here, and those do not carry any sort of bad stigmas.

I’ve had a great time at ASU... I’ve had a great time at ASU without ever joining a sorority. You definitely don’t have to be in a sorority to have fun. There are so many people and so many places to go. I have friends in sororities who love it. It’s just a matter of taste. But ASU is not the type of school where if you’re not in a sorority you won’t have a social life. I’ve gone to some Greek events and they’re a lot of fun. Greek Life can be a good way to meet people, but it’s not a must. 12345 Greek Life Report

There’s always something going on... There’s always something going on with the frats, and always a scandal. They party a lot, and they’re a large part of the social scene. 12345 Greek Life Report

Greeks throw some good parties... Greeks throw some good parties from time to time, but you don’t really notice anyone from Greek society on campus other than those with the obnoxious habit of always wearing their symbols on their shirts. All things considered, Greek life is not very important around here. 12345 Greek Life Report

Facts

Did You Know?

Greek Life offers several credit-bearing classes for members, specifically designed to maximize your leadership potential and enhance your Greek experience. Many of the fraternities and sororities have their annual Formals at awesome places like Las Vegas! The bus ride alone is a fun experience so you can’t imagine how great the actual trip is. If you’re not interested in being in a frat or sorority, make friends with someone who is and go as their date!
