Idaho State University - Greek Life

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Greek life at ISU is not extremely popular. Most students don’t even know that there are any fraternities or sororities on campus at all. The fact that the majority of the student body is LDS definitely adds to it, but it also just comes down to the fact that Greek life never has been a big attraction for ISU students. But this is not to say that things can’t change. ISU Greek life is changing all the time. All of the fraternities and sororities have joined together under one common mission: to change the perception of students’ view of Greek life and show what they can do for each individual. The ISU Greek organizations are a major part of the service projects on campus and in the community. ISU Greek life is different than most university Greek organizations. ISU is strictly a dry campus. The fraternities still hold their own events with alcohol, but they claim to do it responsibly through designated drivers and alcohol awareness events. The sororities claim to be strictly dry sororities. Even though these Greeks may not be drunken, crazy house partiers, they still find ways to help out and have their own kind of fun.

The Greek system has struggled... The Greek system has struggled with membership at ISU for quite some time. The enormous population of LDS students, the fact that ISU is a non-traditional school, and the general ignorance of its community keep the Greek system small. I believe those who are in the Greek system, however, gain a much better opportunity to have a real college experience, where you learn to balance academics and a social life all while doing your best to help the community. 12345 Greek Life Report

Greek life? I don’t think it... Greek life? I don’t think it dominates the social scene much. There are other things to do, which spreads out the Greek-ness more. 12345 Greek Life Report

When I think of Greek life, I am... When I think of Greek life, I am reminded of two things: the Greek church on 5th Street that causes traffic backup every year during their festival, and the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. If Greek life dominates the social scene, then I don’t realize it. 12345 Greek Life Report

I have no clue about Greek life. I... I have no clue about Greek life. I never really hear too much about that kind of stuff. However, they do seem to represent at any school function! I saw some Greeks hosting a free barbecue on the quad, and they had an enormous Slip ‘n Slide. It was pretty wild! 12345 Greek Life Report

Facts

Did You Know?

The ISU Greek fraternities come together and sponsor an event called “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes.” The event basically includes a bunch of guys walking a mile in high heels to raise money for domestic and sexual violence.

The fraternities are known for the crazy homecoming floats in the Homecoming Parade every year. This is definitely something to look forward to!

Jimmy Buffet, Bob Dole, Ted Turner, and Robert Redford were all Greeks!
