Drexel University - Greek Life

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Greek life is quite visible on campus, but there is certainly a social scene outside of the frats. Although the frats and sororities have a strong presence, a lot of money, and normally members that hold positions in many other student organizations, not that many Drexel students are involved in Greek life. They do throw the biggest parties, but they are usually frequented by those already involved in Greek life, in one way or another. Drexel has a large commuter population, and that section of students is not that involved in socializing on campus, especially with the Greeks.

As with most college campuses, the people in Drexel’s frats and sororities are very tight. Don’t expect to break into their cliques unless you plan to pledge. If you do plan, make sure to visit drexelgreeks.student-org.drexel.edu to get the lowdown on each frat, sorority, and Greek council. If you are interested in pledging, come to Activities Day during Welcome Back Week in the fall. You’ll be able to meet a lot of Greeks, and you’ll learn about their activities and organization’s history. Some popular Greek activities (other than binge drinking) include community service collaboration with other student organizations (like Circle K and Habitat for Humanity) and intramural sports competition.

Greek life definitely doesn’t... Greek life definitely doesn’t dominate the social scene. There are only five sororities on campus, and they’re not huge. But if you are part of Greek life, there is always something to do. I would totally recommend it to anybody. 12345 Greek Life Report

Unless you are into spending your weekends at over-crowded sausage fest house parties where you can wait a half hour in a hot basement for one beer...only to find that the keg is tapped. With greek life at Drexel you can spend your free time actually doing something while making amazing friends. 12345 Greek Life: July 16, 2008 Report

Greek life is growing and getting... Greek life is growing and getting bigger every year. They have 10 fraternities now and a colony, and the Multicultural groups are growing really fast also. I'd recommend students to at least give it a shot and check out a variety of groups during rush, since you have little to lose (time) in exchange for some free food and potential friends. 12345 Greek Life: March 23, 2009 Report
