Birmingham-Southern College
- Greek Life

Greeks Are Everywhere

Greek life is a big part of campus life! There are about 5-6 fraternities and sororities each, and each one is different. The sorority townhouses house 8 girls per house, at least half of which are high officers in the sorority. The frat houses have roughly 50 brothers, and the Row is the social scene on the weekends for Greeks and independents alike. Because the College is so small, everyone knows or at least recognizes most everyone else, which makes for a friendly and pleasant social atmosphere.

Go Greek or Go Home.

The vast majority of students at Southern are members of Greek organizations, but every student at Southern is somehow involved. The social scene on campus revolves around fraternity row, where Greeks and non-Greeks alike come together for drunken revelry every Thursday through Saturday. Housing for Greeks, especially fraternity members, is pretty fantastic-- the houses comprising the row are the first thing visitors to Southern see of the campus, and it is an impressive sight.

Greek life at BSC is pretty...

Greek life at BSC is pretty intense. People get caught up in it, and that can lead to some undue rivalries between organizations. That being said, going Greek is a great way to make lifelong friends very quickly. Additionally, most people in leadership positions on campus are Greek, and the Greek GPA is considerably higher than the independent GPA. So, there are pros and cons, but if you're motivated and sociable, you won't have a problem either way.
