Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

According to official statistics, only 20 percent of the student population is affiliated with a fraternity or sorority, but it feels like only 20 percent isn’t. Despite composing less than a fifth of total student population, Greeks have occupied 56 percent of Student Government Association offices and 65 percent of all campus leadership positions within the past ten years. Philanthropy is also a major component of Greek life, with the various houses logging more than 15,000 hours of community service in one year. Their academic achievements are no less impressive, with fraternity and sorority members maintaining a collective GPA higher than that of their peers since 1990.

Before the non-Greek completely resets his stereotypes, he should be aware that a number of them—positive and negative—do check out. Faithful as many of the fraternity members are to their studies, they are no less devoted to their alcohol. Seven fraternities and eleven sororities are dry, but you’d never know it. Come Friday night, there are as many kegs along Sunset Avenue as there are cars on the curb. The situation overall is heartening for Greeks and non-Greeks alike: the former because all the traditional standbys are in place and the latter because they have reason to respect the Betas they party with.

SO MANY GREEKS

It may be because I live in an area surrounded by fraternities, but I always seem to see Greek students everywhere. My classes are filled with students showing off their letters, and people walking to class talking about frat parties. I have no problems with Greeks, except when the neighboring fraternities have parties on weeknights.

It's Ok

The Greek system at my school is ok I guess. Sometimes it can be annoying having to walk or drive by one of their crazy parties.

Greek Life Isn't Exclusive.

There are lots of people you see around campus who are in a sorority or a fraternity. However it's not like you have to be in greek life to meet people. It may be easier, but you can still meet tons of people around campus. They are still friendly and not exclusive to people who are in their chapter. There are also lots of options for those who want to join a frat or a sorority. Anyone can find a place to fit in.
