Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There is a large amount of Greek associations on campus. They vary from cultural to professional to academic fraternities and sororities. With such a large population, they do not dominate the campus. You can see the Greeks shine during annual events such as Homecoming and Spring Fling, where these clubs show off their colors and letters. Greeks are also known for their parties, offering those who can’t get into bars and clubs another option for something to do at night. The campus seems to be divided on its feelings toward the Greeks. While some people find Greek life to be an incredible experience, others feel as though members are secretive and cliquish.

It's best for students interested in joining the Greeks to get to know a member of a fraternity or sorority. They aren’t as cliquish or intimidating as some people may think. These organizations also have events such as dating-game shows and bachelor auctions. Many students prefer professional fraternities because they help make connections with alumni and non-alumni in professional fields. They are also a reliable source for resume help and internships. Fraternities are supposed to provide community service, though most students at Temple don’t recognize them doing much.

I haven't heard of the Greek Society at Temple. I'm not greatly involved in Temple sororities and I've never felt pressured to be in one in order to fit in. It's cool because at Temple everyone can do their own thing.

Greek Life

Greek life is present but doesnt overwhelm the campus community. The shows and pagents are exciting and they are all friendly and sociable. Very involved and eager to volunteer whenever theres an opportunity.

Small Amount of Greek Life

Greek life is a VERY small part of Temple University. Only about 3% of students are in Greek Life. If you are in Greek Life, there will ALWAYS be a party to go to nearly every night, especially if you are in Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority. Don't expect to join Phi Sigma Sigma and be able to attend any parties though. If you aren't in Greek Life it is no big deal, but if you are, almost all the greeks will know you since there are so few. Also, when pledging a fraternity or sorority, expect your grades to drop during the pledge process because it can be really intense.
