Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Greek life at Pomona is indeed severely limited. Many wonder why it even exists. It is largely due to the patronage of one Fred Sontag, Pomona philosophy professor, who has always been a strong proponent of frats as a place for young men to, essentially, be young men together. That’s pretty much how it works. Kappa Delta and Sigma Tau both host a weekly kegger, but neither have houses of their own. Attendance at the events is generally somewhat limited. Nu Alpha Phi is a coed frat and is responsible for a number of the wilder, stranger campus events, but they don’t have a house either, and they really don’t resemble a frat in anything but name.

If you want to be involved in Greek life at Pomona, just don’t expect it to be like Animal House. They may, or may not, be animals, but they don’t have a house, so the frats’ place on campus is basically limited to their weekly keggers. Sometimes, they hold fundraisers, like the Kappa Delta “buy a date with a Kappa Delta guy” thing. There are a significant handful of non-frat students who take advantage of the frat events, either for the beer or for the purpose of flirting with frat boys.

Basically Non-Existent

There is two frats and one fraternity. Mostly just football guys and girls who like to be naked.

Greek Life Is Practically Non-Existant

I think Pomona has two frats (and they may be shared with the other Claremont schools), and I didn't even realize they were there until second half of second semester. Evidently, they throw parties from time to time, I just didn't realize they were the hosts. I don't think there are any sororities.

Did You Know?

The extent of the fraternity facilities on campus pretty much consist of “the Boot,” the site of their weekly keggers and home to some of the biggest, nastiest cockroaches I have ever had the misfortune to lay eyes on.

Although the frats aren’t always exactly welcoming to non-brothers, it is in their charter that their parties must be open to all, so they really have no choice but to let you drink their beer, which they bought with their own funds. Really, though, once you get to know them, many of them are truly wonderful individuals.
