Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Greek life is a great alternative to traditional student housing and will expose you to a lot of different people. At IWU, each of the frats and sororities differ in the kinds of people that join. TKE is full of soccer jocks, Sig Chi has got the rest of the jocks, Sig Pi is home to more theater and fine arts majors, and so on. Each house is its own community, and in that sense, they are much like the small halls on campus. The rivalries between frats are played down, though toilet paper occasionally makes its way into the trees from time to time. Feuds within the sororities are sometimes notorious, sometimes petty, but always hilarious.

Greek activities do not extend beyond parties, for the most part. There will be benefit concerts and carwashes and food drives, all of which contribute to this cause or that, but none of which generate considerable interest. You can’t always recognize frat guys on the quad, but sorority girls always carry their standard-issue tote emblazoned with the requisite Greek letters. Frat guys are unmistakable at basketball games as they stand right on the sideline and jeer the ref, initiating most of the excitement in the stands. At key times, members’ Greek affiliation is evident, but the rest of the day, it’s just the place they live.

Greek Life

Greek life is pretty good especially for frats, where there are multiple options. Sororities have less options, but thats where you will find almost all of the attractive girls. Socially greek life is really fun and do a good amount for the community. Its definitely worth your while on this small campus. P.s. Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) was founded at wesleyan and is now the largest frat in the world.

Greeks THINK They Are the School

Greek life at our school is, from the eyes of a non-member, a wasted effort. The frat parties are just bad places for people to be, whether its the bad beer that is served, or the fact that the music is simply horrible. Whats worse is how the greek studnets act around campus, as if they are the school. I try and avoid these people/places as much as I can.

Greek life can really enrich your...

Greek life can really enrich your college experience. The fraternities and sororities are not exclusive and scary like bigger schools, and there is absolutely no hazing. Each house has a philanthropy and at least one big fundraising event. Many students choose to go through recruitment (rush) and then decide if they truly want to join a house. It is a really great way to meet people!
