Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Less than a quarter of the students at Clemson are Greek, but fraternities and sororities still have highly visible social scenes. In addition to becoming involved on campus, going Greek is a great way to meet a lot of people, fast. Although it can be time consuming and expensive, Greek life thrives at Clemson because enough students want it to.

Becoming a member of the Greek community is entirely up to you. There are plenty of fraternities and sororities on campus, all different in their own way. If you are considering becoming a Greek, you should attend the rush functions in the fall to get to know some of the different fraternities and sororities.

If You're a Boy and Like to Party, Go Greek

If you're a girl it's not too hard to go to parties on the weekends - you don't need to be Greek. But if you're a boy it's much harder to go to the bigger parties if you're not in the Fraternity. Typically a guy needs to be good friends with a Brother and be specifically invited. Without the frat parties it's still possible to party, but it's a bit more difficult.

I'm Not Involved...

I'm not involved in Greek life, so I don't have a full picture of it. It's not a majority on our campus and students certainly don't feel left out by not being in a sorority or fraternity. It provides a great social atmosphere for those involved, but there are plenty of organizations and school-wide events to be a part of! Many non-Greeks may view Greeks as crazy and they fit right into a stereotype. At the same time I (along with many other non-Greeks) am friends with many Greeks that I love! There is some Greek housing available but sororities can only have dorms. Frats have houses, but sororities can't.
