Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There is no official Greek life on campus at Boston College, but that definitely doesn’t stop anyone from having fun! No one seems to notice the lack of fraternities and sororities, probably because there are so many nearby schools that a Friday-night frat party is just a T ride away. Many students consider not having Greek life a positive asset of Boston College life, since there are fewer cliques, no extreme hazing rituals, and no pressure to feel like you have to join a certain fraternity or sorority.

BC provides many other ways to feel like you are a part of a group—athletics, clubs, student government, and other campus organizations create a real sense of community among students with similar interests. Of course, if you are really looking forward to Greek life being a part of your college experience, you can always join up with a community-wide fraternity or sorority—just check out Boston resources to find one you like.

Sigma Phi Epsilon MA SEC - Boston C.

There is only one fraternity at Boston College: Sigma Phi Epsilon.

Since their founding in 2009, SigEp has become the first independent student organization of its kind. Currently in the process of chartering, the Chapter has reached a manpower level of over 50 undergraduates, comprised exclusively of Boston College men. Under the direction of the National Fraternity, SigEp has been in open dialogue with the University regarding their future endeavors.

Greek Life Exists

It is a false statement that Greek Life does not exist at Boston College. Though the school does not formally recognize these organizations they do exist. There is a chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon which is a Boston-wide chapter encompassing BC, BU and Northeastern. There is also a Sigma Phi Epsilon students can join. These organizations are young and not up to par with big Greek school chapters but are still great options for students who want to have a good time and experience Greek Life.
