Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

The Greek-Lifers Were Kicked Off Campus.

This past year, the greeks took the phrase "party hardy" much too far. In the beginning of the year there was reported underage drinking for most frats and sororities that resulted in several people being taken to the hospital, bu those are the party groups. Other greek life, like the honor and major Greeks are pretty prestigious. I am not favorable to the stereotypical greek life, but I do plan on joining an honor group if I can. ASU cracked down on all the groups living on campus, so greek life is completely centered on campus though it is still a prominent figure at ASU.

Greek Life

Not personally being involved in a sorority, I don't really know anything about their activity. The only way I know they exist i the groups of girls wearing the same shirts walking around campus.

Not Very Much Greek Life, but If You Want It You Can Find It

There is very little greek life but if you want to get involved in it there are plenty of great opportunities. It is not necessary to meet friends at all.
