Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If you thought all Greek organizations were like something out of Animal House, Muhlenberg might throw you for a loop. The fraternities and sororities do more than just host notorious parties (although they are certainly very good at it); throughout the year, the various organizations run community service events as well as Greek Week. Students who are involved in Greek life absolutely love being involved and believe it enhances their social life and college experience. However, those students who choose not to join are equally as content with their social lives. Frats and sororities have their moments of prominence, but they do not overwhelm everyone’s day-to-day life. There is no pressure or social consequences for those students who decide against pledging.

With that being said, pledging is a personal choice. If you feel Greek life suits you, then students will encourage you to pledge. Just keep in mind that pledging is a commitment, and you will be expected to balance your Greek life and your GPA. However, there is an alternative for those students who want to be in Greek life but do not want to take on the full commitment. Muhlenberg offers two coed organizations: Kappa Kappa Psi and Alpha Phi Omega. They are not as “demanding” as other frats and sororities, but they still offer plenty of opportunities to expand your social life and to participate in community service.

Fraternities Not Frats

Greek life is present at Muhlenberg, but is not a huge part of campus life. Beyond that fraternities and sororities are often an asset and benefit the community. They are not there to simply throw parties, but for a larger purpose in building a community.

Greeks Dominate During Rush, but Other Than That..

During rush, all you see is greek signs. But after that, they're just a part of campus. You definitely see greek groups form, but its nothing cliquey. Its good that freshmen can't rush... it gives them to find their place on campus before going into greek life. Greek life is just another part of campus that adds diversity and fun.

Greeks Are Just Like Another "Club"

Any group of people, whether it's an accapella group, sports team, or fraternity/sorority, can have fun spending time with one another, but everyone has friends outside of their "groups." Naturally, if you're involved with any group, you have more connections to get into parties, but groups and Greek life are certainly not essential to making friends and having a great time at Muhlenberg.
