Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

I'm in a sorority but I would prefer to be in one with people of my own race. Greek life is great. No one hazes people. The parties at the houses could be better.

Millsaps Greek

The sororities and fraternities are really diverse at Millsaps. We definitely have a sorority that could belong at a big state school and a fraternity that fits the fraternity image. However, all the sororities and fraternities are extremely involved and extremely hard working when it comes to school. Everyone is welcome at the fraternity houses on the weekends.

Half and Half

The Greek population at Millsaps College makes up about fifty percent of the students. There are four sororities and five fraternities. The reason that so much of our student population is greek is because the process of rush is simply not as intense as it is at other schools. Plenty of greeks and non greek students are friends and go to the parties. The fraternities generally have parties every weekend, while the sororities have two to three parties a year. Swaps are parties held between the sororities and fraternities and are exclusive to members of the two houses having the swap. The guys can live in the fraternity houses but the girls cannot live in the sorority houses. Overall at Millsaps, the consensus about Greek life is to try first get involved and "go greek" and then to find your perfect fit, and the best thing is that at Millsaps, everyone has a perfect fit.
