Stetson University
- Greek Life

Geeky Greeks

I was the kind of person you would never think to join a sorority. I love Final Fantasy, memes, opera, Pokemon, a gay rights activist, feminist, and I listen to screamo. And, surprisingly, I'm a Greek! The Greeks here at Stetson are completely different than you'd expect. We drive the campus volunteering and head most organizations, but we never exclude people. It's not the stupid, clique-ish, judgmental group that I, and most of the world, thought it would be. Sure, you are going to get some of that, but that is everywhere. Stetson's small school means everyone is tight, Greek or not. But Greeks do stand out in academics, sports, and volunteer work. That's what drew me to my sorority, but in all reality you have to decide. I can tell you how awesome it is and how we love all the friends we "buy," but you really just need to see for yourself and go through recruitment or talk to some other girls/boys, you'll find out that they are all real, strong, and damn proud!

Greeks Are Pretty Big

There are 5 sororities and 5 fraternities on campus. Greeks at Stetson have higher GPAs than non-Greeks. They are mostly respected by other students. Frats have big parties every once in a while but most of the time they have private small parties. Frats and sororities have houses on campus.

It's Like Its Own Sub-Campus

Greek Life is obviously a big part at Stetson, and there are plenty of accommodations for it. I feel there's a profound difference between the normal atmosphere of campus and any Greek event anywhere, and there are a lot of them. I have nothing against Greek students, but my exposure to me tells me that they're sort of contained in the Greek social circles of campus and don't do much to branch beyond that.
