College Prowler Take
Most students’ involvement with Greek life doesn’t extend beyond the occasional party. There are no sorority houses, supposedly because of Massachusetts’ ancient “blue laws,” which made it illegal for more than five unrelated women to live together (these laws were actually repealed in the 1980s). All of the fraternities are on Mission Hill, which is about a mile away from campus. The Greek scene is easy to get to, but when it gets cold in the winter, many students feel that it’s not worth the hike for what could very well be a mediocre party. At the beginning of each semester, there is a rush week where students can visit with the different houses and receive bids. Greek life seems to work for those who participate in it, but students can enjoy themselves just fine without it. Students Speak Out

Greek life is growing at NU! It's more than people think, and the stereotypes aren't true. It's not just about partying but community, networking, volunteering and more. There are so many amazing opportunities.

Greek life is amazing, but it only stands out if you are in it. The sororities are really competitive but very fun. The fraternities throw awesome parties and have the hottest guys in them. Obviously, I am in a sorority, so I may have a biased opinion, but I would recommend to any girl coming to Northeastern to rush. It makes campus a smaller community and feels good when you can recognize people walking around campus.

It's really hard to get into because it's a small percentage of the students, and there's no Greek housing. It's not a big deal if you aren't in one, and you can probably still go to their parties. Greek life here is mostly about getting involved and doing activities, not partying, although they do do that too.

Unlike other campuses, the Greek life doesn't dominate student life. I mean, they hold a few campus events and throw parties, but that's just about it. They don't have the power that you see in movies, where they are the kings/queens of the campus—here, they basically just blend in. The only way you can tell is they tend to wear their frat colors. I never liked Greek life, so I never joined, and it's not a problem. I mean, there tends to be a couple of obnoxious frat guys around campus, but, for the most part, they act like normal college students, which is a plus.

Greek life has almost zero role in the social scene at Northeastern. I don't even know which organizations we have on campus, and I'm about to complete my fourth year here.
