Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Greek life at NYU has a very weak presence, but it still exists. Going along with the no-campus and almost-no-sports vibe at NYU, Greek life doesn’t play a major role in most students’ NYU experience, either. However, students involved in fraternities and sororities are quite active in terms of planning Greek events. Several fraternities and sororities are housed at the Lafayette dorm, and others have off-campus apartments where members live. If you find it appealing, you can enter the Greek circle and make that the focus of your time at NYU, as you stand the chance of finding friends, great experiences, and beneficial job opportunities through the connections you make in certain fraternities and sororities. On the other hand, stereotypical fraternity and sorority parties are a rarity. 

NYU fraternities and sororities are definitely not stereotypical, with some being academic based, like certain business fraternities, while others focus more on community service, group activities, and events in the city. Most people participate in Greek life in order to find a close circle of friends, as doing so outside of such groups may be difficult. Overall, these groups are not necessarily exclusive, and they interact freely with the rest of the student body.

Greek Life

There is the option of Greek life at NYU, but most people don't go that route. There's so much more to the City than a sorority or fraternity that most people don't bother with it.

Not a Big Deal

Pretty much non-existent. NYU is known for its lack of a campus and hence school spirit, so that's why I believe Greek life should be promoted more. Anything to help foster a sense of commradery would be appreciated.

Greek Life in NYC? I Don't Think So, Than You.

Personally as a native New Yorker (of the city) students of greek life seems quite the contradiction of pursuing a higher education in a cultural mecca such as NYC. Greek life is for small suburbs and large 'party' colleges, and whilst they exist at NYU they are viewed as a bit ridiculous by non-Greeks, who wish to immerse themselves in the larger facts of life in the city beyond restrictive childish 'clubs' and 'memberships.' It does not dominate at NYU.
