Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

To go Greek or not to go Greek? There are a couple of important things to consider: If you join a sorority or fraternity, you will have a place to live, be surrounded by people who share your interests, and be able to make a contribution to IU and the surrounding area through philanthropy. If you don’t . . . well, you can still do all those things, but you won’t be bound by any rules or expensive fees. In either case, there are definite pluses, and it really boils down to what is right for you. The atmosphere here doesn’t push one way or the other.

IU is different from some schools with a large Greek population because the Greeks here are not smothering in either their size or their prevalence. They do exist, and it is fairly obvious, but if you don’t want to think about them, you don’t have to. If you’re a freshman looking for an immediate portal into getting involved on IU’s campus, the Greek system, which has a good reputation and is well-developed, may be the way to go.

Greek Life Is Amazing

Iu is thriving both on and off-campus. There are always fun parties whether it be a house party or a frat party. Greek life at IU is huge, in referring to popularity. However only about 20% of students are in Greek life and it is very competitive.

Woo

Greeks take up a large majority of campus, we have almost all of them. The sorority girls are nice and rush is super fun. There is no hazing or parties for the girls. The guys story is very different. There are also academic and ethnic houses.

Don't even try

The greek life is highly sought after but is impossible to get into. don't even try, you are just wasting your time. They say only 13% are in greek life but that is because there is only room for 13% of the student body to get into the greek system.

Did You Know?		Once a year, the fraternities and sororities participate in a musical competition called “IU Sing.” All fraternities and sororities spend time and effort on some sort of philanthropic project every year. This is one of the ways the Greek system gives back to the community.
