Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The general consensus is that going Greek is mostly your own personal choice. Greek life is prevalent, but it doesn’t dominate the social scene. Some people never go through rush and are happy with their choice. Others stay with a particular fraternity or sorority throughout their entire college career and are equally happy.

There’s no doubt that pledging is a great way to meet a lot of people and become involved in a lot of activities. However, if fraternities or sororities aren’t your style, then there are plenty of other opportunities to get involved in school. Keep in mind that not all Greek organizations are social. There are several sororities and fraternities that are community related, if that’s more to your taste. No matter what you choose, you should feel comfortable with what you do.

Greek Life

It dominates the campus. All of them are the same. It makes Auburn really bland and unoriginal. There is more to college than paying to have friends.

Rush or You'll Regret It!

I must admit, Greek life pretty much runs this school. However, it's not the stuck-up, elitist, live-to-party scene that it is at some other schools. For the most part, greeks here are classy and friendly. I would definitely recommend rushing. Even if you don't pledge, it's a great way to meet people. Frat houses vary as far as how nice they are, but sororities have VERY nice on-campus dorms.

Greek life is very popular at Auburn and is an excellent way to meet new people. However, typically your group of friends will never extend beyond those in your own sorority. Also, dues are very expensive.
