The most entrenched aspect of student life on the Millsaps campus, by far, is the Greek social scene. All the frats and sororities host parties, coordinate volunteer programs, and hold most of the student government positions. Habitat for Humanity, the ecumenical volunteer organization, and Up Till Dawn, an awareness and support program, are almost solely run and supported by individual Greek organizations. Members are often “house-cast” and grouped into large anonymous cliques. The drawback, says the independent minority, is that independents are estranged, and members insulated, by this association. Also, there are complaints that the Greek structure unfairly panders to members and excludes outsiders, and some organizations have acknowledged this to a degree. In the Student Body Association, the student government, two seats must be explicitly reserved for independent representatives. Everyone, nevertheless, enjoys the many benefits of an extremely active Greek scene. Theme parties are always well-organized and all-inclusive. There is heavy participation in intramurals, especially by the Greeks. Greek Week embodies the gentle conflicts, by staging events such as flag football and talent shows. In the spring, each Greek house undertakes building a swimming pool and hosting cookouts, and unofficial competition is often implied. Students Speak Out

The administration occasionally...
The administration occasionally has sanctions against houses for fights or alcohol violations, but mostly, they look the other way. Some professors complain about it, but no one has really made a move against the domination of the campus by the Greek system. |

The frats will welcome you if you carry letters or not, and it might help you actually meet people because so many students just attach a stereotype to you when you have the letters. |

As long as you give college...
As long as you give college students some mildly attractive members of the opposite sex, booze, and a means to an end (if you know what I mean), then they’ll never get off campus. Which is what happens 90 percent of the time at Millsaps. |

Theme parties are the only way to go. For ‘Heaven and Hell,’ the Chops divide the upstairs into more cosmopolitan drinks and lounging and the downstairs into a grungy dancefloor. The SAEs have real laid-back parties that are sort of like yuppie barbecues. They’re too professional for themes. |

There is no better feeling than...
There is no better feeling than being in a frat on Saturday night, because everybody’s trying to get in to be a part of the only party on campus. We’re always inclusive. No frats lock you out because of your association. But there is some friendly grief. Alcohol is always available, and sometimes a frat will set up an open bar for guests. The drinks are of mixed quality, with the Chops (the Lambda Chi Alpha frat) always having the best setup and amateur bartenders. |
