Illinois State University - Greek Life

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Compared to many other state universities, Greek life at ISU is not a big deal. While you will see many students sporting Greek letters on campus, it is not overwhelming. The most popular aspect of Greek life is the frat parties. Frats advertise their parties during the week, and the turnout is generally huge. While it is hard to bust a frat party, students should be aware of cops waiting outside to bust them once they step on public property. Underclassmen usually attend these parties, and the doors are wide-open to all girls. ISU frats are known as being safe, and there are rarely any violent occurrences. Girls are always welcome at frat parties whether of Greek status or not. Guys need to be wary and understand that if they are not part of the frat, then most likely they will not be allowed in. Students who are considering becoming Greek need to keep their ears and eyes open during the beginning of the school year. rushing for a certain Greek affiliation may be tedious, but the bonds and experiences are everlasting. even though Greek life does not dominate ISU, it is enjoyable for those who try it out. Students not interested in Greek life should not worry that it will affect their social lives.

Greek life at ISU is not big... Greek life at ISU is not big enough to dominate the scene, but it can influence the life of a student. If someone likes to be included in events, then Greek life is probably for them. However, you are not missing out on anything if you don’t join Greek life. 12345 Greek Life Report

Greek life here is just one giant... Greek life here is just one giant party, which is the best. Frats have parties every weekend, and they are usually out of control. If you don’t want to be Greek, you can still go to their parties. 12345 Greek Life Report

Really, it is just another social... Really, it is just another social group that is on campus. Greek life is not anything special. Personally, there are enough people at ISU that you don’t need to buy your friends here. 12345 Greek Life Report

Strong Greek Life C There is an obvious number of greeks at ISU, and they can tend to be rather stuck up. If you aren't greek, don't plan on attending any parties. Don't worry though, there is plenty to do non greek related and you will meet enough friends that own apartments and houses. 12345 Greek Life: January 28, 2010 Report

Not a big frat school C I am not affiliated with any sort of Greek life but from what I have met and who I know it is hit or miss. Some frat guys and sorority girls are cool, and some are complete jerks. I wish I would have joined a frat if this school was a big frat school, but it isn't. 12345 Greek Life: January 20, 2010 Report
