- Greek Life

Give it a Shot

Greek Life on CC campus is a really small part of campus, with smaller houses and a large number of people on campus indifferent, if not outright opposed to, Greek Life. Mostly, students just go over to the Greek houses to take advantage of free beer during parties, and thus the only conception of Greek Life on campus is that they are just party outlets.

Actually joining a fraternity was possibly the best decision I made during my college career, and I got to see a lot more of the good part of Greek Life even though I had never envisioned myself taking part. The houses individually take on a fair amount of community outreach in various forms, and help grow you as a person in various ways.

A couple of fraternities have been re-colonized by new members after a few bad apples spoiled the bunch a few years ago, so things are getting better, but I can't help but think that if people on this campus were as open-minded as they claim to be, then the Greek system would be a lot stronger and a lot more beneficial for more people.

Frats and Sororities

The current frats and sororities function as a brotherhood and sisterhood mostly focused on charity.

Greek Life Is Okay

Greek life doesn't dominate the scene here. Usually they throw parties, and people who are a part of Greek life don't exclude kids who aren't a part of the Greek system. The CC community is more important that the Greek community.
