Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Greek life at Duquesne can very easily be compared to the athletic situation on campus. It exists on a large scale for those who wish to partake in it, but it remains nearly invisible for those who do not have a desire to rush and pledge a fraternity or sorority. Perhaps the main reason behind this is the lack of on-campus Greek housing. Only specific wings of Towers are dedicated to housing fraternities and sororities. Greek life and related organizations do host numerous events throughout the year, however, with Greek Carnival being the most popular.

For those coming to Duquesne with an interest in Greek life, there are plenty of social and service fraternities and sororities to make the experience worthwhile. Those who wish to pass Greek life by will not be excluded from the social scene either. Many freshmen will find themselves attending off-campus, Greek-related parties, even if they are not involved with Greek life.

They Have a Decent Presence.

I don't know much about Greek life. I do know that the business fraternities do a great job of everything.

Once Again, Doesn't Apply to Me

Greeks? Hardly.

Greek life IS on campus, but only just. There are no sorority or frat houses, and I rarely hear of them doing anything fun or interesting. Duquesne definitely isn't the place to go for Greek life in Pittsburgh.
