Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Around 50 percent of Hanover students are affiliated with a Greek organization, so it is a very important part of campus life. The College has a deferred recruitment schedule, with freshmen going through recruitment in January after they come back from winter break. This gives students a chance to get used to college life and find out about the different organizations before making a commitment. Living in the Greek houses offers the chance to form bonds with your brothers or sisters. Each organization raises money for a charity and holds events both to raise money and have fun with brothers and sisters.

The Panhellenic Council and the Interfraternity Council plan events like Greek Week, where organizations compete against each other in fun games, and the Sorority Court open house at the beginning of the year. The campus is supportive of the Greek atmosphere, which enhances the small-town experience for many students. Greek parties and events are usually open to all students, not just other Greeks, although there is a guest list for parties. There are also semi-formals, formals, and dances, which are great mixers for Greeks and their dates, and one of the major perks of being a member.

Greek

Greek life is whatever, I think it's a really dominate because half of the student body are affiliated. There are four sororities and 5 fraternities, it's pretty easy to get into one. They all wear their greek clothing constantly, and have better food at their house, if they offer it. Most of the Greeks live in a rack room type of housing. The parties are decent, except for the sororities. Sororities don't throw parties, just one in the whole year and not many people show up to it. What I dislike about greek life however, is the fact when one quits a fraternity or sorority, the whole house ignores them for the rest of their college years, as if their friendship before didn't matter. Other than that, they don't view negatively towards non-Greek students.

As a non-Greek member, I don't get to see my Greek friends as often as I used to, but I'd say that I get along well with many different Greek members.

Greek Is Huge!

Over half the campus is part of greek life, and you don't even have to be a member to enjoy the parties either! The isn't much rivalry and everyone in greek life is really supportive of people in and out of the Greek system.
