Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Greek life at Claflin is booming! The Greeks are always active on campus, whether it is hosting a community service event or throwing a party, so if you’re Greek, it’s likely that everyone knows who you are. The bad part about Greek life at Claflin is that Greeks don’t have their own housing, but this does not stop students from wanting to “go Greek.” Many students join fraternities and sororities for the popularity and connections that these organizations provide them. Generally, status-conscious students feel the most pressure to join a Greek organization, but the fraternities and sororities are always trying to recruit new members who meet all the requirements (must have completed at least 36 credit hours and have a GPA of at least 2.80, among other things).

The Greek community at Claflin is very close-knit because there are a large number of them on such a small campus. However, it does not make a difference if you are in a Greek organization or not—Claflin students treat one another generally the same, and the Greeks are not biased toward the non-Greeks or vice versa. When the Greeks are throwing a party or step show, all the students come out to show their support, which creates a stronger bond between the students at Claflin, even if they don’t know it!

Greeks Run DA Yard

as a member of a fraternity i have seen both sides of the fence and i can say it does affect the social atmosphere of the campus, most times people have nothing to do until they hear the greeks chanting outside their windows or having a forum or a mixer somewhere on "DA yard"

Greeks

The greeks on campus are cool people if your in good terms with them.They throw almost all of the parties that you hear about through the week. They are are a big impact on campus in a good way as well as in a bad way.As far as greeks in the eyes of non greeks they are viewed to me as pretty cool people to be around but you dont have to do the things they do just to fit in. when your dealing with the greeks you have to know when to say yes and when to say NO.

They are...for the win? Not Really

The Greeks on campus are nothing special, nothing to worship about them. They believe that they are higher than the non-greeks and get away with actions very easily. The women Greeks: Some are cool, others are snobby, raunchy(wearing revealing clothes on a school day) and some are "open for business" Yeah, it's a shame. The fraternal men are...whatever, most of them are just players, always getting into women's ....exclusive aura, especially with the women Greeks. Once again...I see nor sense nothing special about them.
