College Prowler Take
Compared to universities like Purdue and IU, Ball State has a weak Greek presence. Members of Greek organizations are most commonly seen around campus raising money for different charities. This, aside from the occasional frat party, is the only interaction most Ball State students have with the organizations.
Opinions differ as to why the majority of students are not interested in joining a fraternity or sorority. Most say they just don’t have time for it. Other students say their own groups of friends provide the same emotional and social support they would find in a Greek organization, so they see no need to join one. Whatever the reason, the fact is that less than 10 percent of Ball State students are in a fraternity or sorority. As a result, Greek organizations do not play a prominent role on Ball State’s campus, and their influence on non-Greek students is miniscule.

It’s like a sub-community of Ball State; they tend to stick to themselves. I don’t think I’ve ever had a friend in a sorority. |

Greek life is not as big as it is at Purdue or IU. You don’t have to be in the fraternity or the sorority to be a big man on campus. |

If you want to be involved with Greek activities, it’s open to you, but if you don’t, you’re still going to have a good time. |

I don’t really know that many Greek people, and I get around. I wouldn’t say they dominate the social scene. Every year, at least one frat gets shut down. Their numbers may be dwindling. |

I never really looked into Greek life. I see more of the sororities than the frats around campus. |
