Quick Stats

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.

Greek Life, Family Life

Greek life is a huge part of campus. They do several activities and events for the campus and community. It is a great way to get involved and to become part of a family. However, they each greek house is extremely competitive with other houses, and can sometimes cause problems with meshing together.

Greek Life at K-State

There are some negative issues face the Greek community at K-State. But overall, the Greek life has a positive impact on the general community. When you attend K-State, one out of every three students participate in Greek life, whether it is through a traditional house, the Divine Nine, a progressive sorority or fraternity or an academic fraternity. It has been a wonderful experience for me rushing and crossing into Gamma Rho Lambda. The K-State campus often unknown to our particular house, but being a member has made me more confident and happier with the life I have on campus.

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.
