Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

For those in the Greek system, being Greek is a big thing, it dominates your social scene. But, as a non-Greek, you tend to associate with everybody. If you want to join, there are enough so you can find one that suits your interests and personality. Greeks are active in many events, but there are also many opportunities for non-Greeks to be active on campus. If you want to join an organization where it is easy to have an active role, then Greek life is one choice.

Greek house parties and events are typically open to anyone who wanders in. If the parties are what you are looking for, joining is not necessary. Being in a frat or sorority may help you make friends quickly at the beginning, but it may limit your social encounters with the non-Greek population. Make sure you research the different societies and visit them before you decide which one to pledge. It can be hard to keep up on academics and participate in all of the social activities required, so understand the time-commitments of the society. Overall, those who enjoy Greek life will enjoy Iowa State, but those who don’t wish to participate will equally enjoy their time at Iowa State.

Greek Life

They are always encouraging new students to join the greek community which is a great program by the way. They help you out academically and only want you to strive for success. But they are also very strict.

Not a Bad Rap

The Greek Community is very helpful on campus. They help put on shows, get others involved in contests and other activities. They provide lots of opportunities for others to be involved and have fun at school

Not for Me

I don't drink alcohol so I don't get involved with frats. I've been in one but it's not for me.
