There’s not too much to say in regards to Georgetown’s Greek life. Basically, it doesn’t exist. Some students admit to a dim awareness of the “non-residential” frats on campus—those devoted to community service, business, and foreign affairs. But for the most part, Greek life is a non-issue. The function filled by fraternities and sororities at other schools, namely, getting people drunk, is performed nicely by campus house parties and the plethora of pubs and pourhouses on M street. Who is to say whether life with frats is better than life without? A majority of Georgetown students say they’re glad they don’t have to deal with the Greek system, while students at other schools say they can’t imagine living without their brothers or sisters. Probably the truth lies somewhere in between. If you’re in love with the idea of going Greek, Georgetown obviously presents a serious weakness, but if you’re not sure, don’t let the lack of frats discourage you. Many campus groups, such as club sports teams and cultural societies, have come to fill the nighttime social vacuum created by the DC ordinance against the Greek system. Students Speak Out

There is no Greek life at...
There is no Greek life at Georgetown, which is something I love! There are still tons of parties and, of course, great bars and such, but none of the stupid Greek stuff. Athletic teams, clubs, and houses all have parties. The parties are always free and at least have kegs. It is kind of a tradition that the upperclassmen throw parties for the freshmen and provide them with alcohol and a good time. But be careful! |

There is no Greek life on campus. The social scene is dominated by the upper echelon of rich kids on campus. |

We don’t have any Greek life really. The parties are either private or sports-affiliated. |

There isn’t any official Greek life on campus because we’re a Jesuit school. There is a have a coed ‘service fra-rority’ that does community service projects, but members do not not actually live together. The Business, Nursing, and Foreign Service schools have their own fraternities or sororities, but they’re more for the purpose of resume-building and making connections with people in your field rather than for than social, Greek-life purposes. The closest thing to that is the Jewish fraternity—a bunch of guys that don’t live together but still throw a party every weekend at someone’s apartment. |

Because of an old DC law, there are no frats at Georgetown. This is good, because it means there are lots of parties every weekend that anyone can get into. I have been here for two years, and with the exception of the parties I threw myself, I’ve never had to pay for alcohol at a party. Parties do have a lot to do with the social scene, but Greek life does not. |
