Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Greek life and social life at DePauw are virtually one in the same. So much so, that 75 percent of the campus is involved in the Greek system, making DePauw one of the most Greek universities in the country. Although you will find quite a few stereotypical pearl clad, ribbon-wearing sorority girls, and a whole host of polo-attired fratastic guys, with such a large Greek system, each house offers something for just about anyone’s needs and interests.

The campus strives to combat the Greek party-scene reputation by offering many campus-wide activities for independents, as well as Greeks. When night falls, though, most students are found beer ponging at Beta or stumbling the party trail from ATO to Phi Psi. Most weekend days are marked by Greek philanthropy events, which are open to all of campus, but the social networks the Greek system provides can be exclusionary to those on the outside. Those not interested in the Greek system should not completely discount the University, but an open mind towards the recruitment process and a love of the movie Animal House are a benefit to any student choosing DePauw. Whether it is for the life long bond of brotherhood and sisterhood, or the endless theme nights and cheap house beer, the Greek system adds a charm and flavor to DePauw that few universities can match.

Greek Life

DePauw runs on the greek community. DPU represents two alpha chapters (first chapter of its kind). All houses have incredible histories and amazing alumni networks. About 90% of the time, parties will be held at the fraternities. Considering DePauw is so interconnected and small, guys and girl of different houses all end up where the party is at. Just because you're a Phi Delt doesn't mean you can't get into Beta.

Depauw Is GREEK!!

Greek life at DePauw University is awesome, we have been ranked #1 best Greek community in the country. Although it is a small liberal arts being Greek makes you feel more at home. Even though there are many sororities and fraternities all come together to form an amazing Greek community. Non-greek students are a minority at Depauw but even though they are not greeks because of personal choice is not like greeks are not friends of non greeks, everyone is very open and can interact fine with each other.
