Bentley University - Greek Life

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

The Greek scene at Bentley, which by the way is not ever actually referred to as “the Greek scene” by any student, is slightly untraditional when compared to other local universities. There are no fraternity or sorority houses on campus, and only a few frats have brothers who rent a house off campus for the purpose of having parties. They are a visible force on campus, but mostly serve a social purpose. The events and fundraisers run by the Greeks are something to be proud of; however, their main function is to appeal to those who have a compelling need for sisterhood or brotherhood.

It’s basically mandatory for every freshman, especially the girls, to check out frat parties during your first year at college. Frat guys will come to your floor and sell tickets for the party and will run shuttle buses to the off-campus houses. After freshman year, the frat parties on campus are mostly Greeks and friends of Greeks only. Guys who aren’t in frats will have a harder time getting into frat parties, but having a pretty lady on your arm can help.

Greek life is a big part of the... Greek life is a big part of the Bentley campus. With a small student body, Greek life is very noticeable but not a necessity. 12345 Greek Life: April 03, 2009 Report

Greek life, since it is not... Greek life, since it is not officially recognized on campus, has an interesting role. Greeks are very active and seem to support good causes with the events they put on. As far as I can tell, being part of a fraternity or sorority has no bearing on an individual's social status on campus. I would say, for the most part, Greek life has a positive impact and reputation on campus, in addition to the stereotypical Greek life reputation. 12345 Greek Life: March 30, 2009 Report

Greek life is popular among some,... Greek life is popular among some, but it definitely doen't have a major impact on campus. Sports teams are more important. 12345 Greek Life: March 30, 2009 Report

Although Greek life is small there... Although Greek life is small there is always something to do. The community is close and there is never a dull moment. For those that claim that the party life is dominated by the sports teams that is completely false. The majority of the parties that are thrown at Bentley are because of Greek Life and people don't seem to appreciate that and go and use them up till rush and then all randomly decide that "Greek Life is not for them" yet they continue to show up to these parties. 12345 Greek Life: June 28, 2008 Report

Athletes definitely run the show... Athletes definitely run the show at this school. There is a lot of Greek life; however, it is kind of a joke, seeing as there are no sorority or fraternity houses. They mostly just party in the dorms. 12345 Greek Life Report
