Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Greek is neither the alpha nor the omega of Creighton social life, but it does offer at least an iota of entertainment. A fairly significant portion of the student population is affiliated with a Greek organization. Considering how involved students are in all activities, that’s no surprise. Anyone who comes to campus expecting big sorority houses and the type of Greek system at state schools will be completely disappointed. Creighton’s system is so watered-down that belonging to a sorority or fraternity, for most people, is more like belonging to any other club—it’s not their entire social circle nor focus of daily life. There aren’t big, University-sanctioned houses or loud raucous rituals. The most obvious Greek activities on campus are usually philanthropic events.

The Greek system at Creighton is one that promotes social involvement without the pressure of living like a sorority or fraternity member. In many cases, Creighton’s Greeks’ biggest bond is a dedication to service and academics. It seems many of the groups are as much united to do volunteer projects together as to get drunk together. And, while you will probably know people who are Greek, it is possible to know them for a long time before realizing it, since Greeks just aren’t all that Greek-centered. There are some students who will determinedly decry the Greek crowd, and there are some who will never see beyond their letter sweaters, but Greek life at Creighton really depends on the individual fraternity or sorority member—it can either be everything to them or just a hobby.

Greek Life is great! You don't need to be a partier or someone extremely social to join a sorority or fraternity. Greek life at Creighton is focused on the service we can go for others rather than the parties.

Go Greek.

If you go greek at Creighton, you will know practically every other greek because we have a huge focus on community. There aren't huge rivalries between different chapters on campus. Greek houses aren't very nice, and only one sorority on campus has a house. Frat parties and bar hopping are big within the greek community.
