College Prowler Take

With 28 Greek organizations and nearly 40 percent of students involved in Greek life, fraternities and sororities definitely stake their claim at TCU. Most students do not feel pressured to join a Greek organization, though some feel it is vital in order to really take part in the social scene. The mix of national, local, and faith-based Greek organizations gives students a variety of options from which to choose. While Greek life is not for everyone, many students who are in a fraternity or sorority enjoy it.

You don’t have to be Greek to get along at TCU, but a Greek emphasis does prevail. The sororities and fraternities hold a ton of socials and each one has a specific fundraiser. Frats and sororities tend to distinguish social groups, but being Greek does not completely isolate students from the campus population.

Greek life is huge at TCU. If you're a guy and you're not Greek, you're done for unless you have very good communicating skills. If you're a girl, you have a few more options. Greek life definitely runs campus. There have been recent movements by students to shift the power away, however.

TCU is definitely a Greek campus. It really dominates the scene. I’m not a part of it, but never felt left out or felt any pressure to join. If you want to be Greek, I recommend TCU. If you don’t want to be Greek, but still are thinking about TCU, don’t let the Greek factor deter you from choosing it.

Well, Greek life is pretty big at TCU. I’m not in a frat, but many of my friends are. You don’t have to join a sorority to fit in. I rushed Sigma Epsilon, but didn’t actually finish. I have too much going on with my band, hockey, engineering, and Air Force. Greek life is fun, but keep in mind it’s not cheap.

For guys, being in a frat is almost necessary, but for girls, it isn’t anywhere near necessary. I am not in a sorority, and I still have an awesome time because any girl can get into any fraternity party. In fact, some of the frat guys I know say it’s cool I’m not in a sorority, because I am more open-minded toward the frats.

In terms of Greek life, I recommend going through rush, because TCU is definitely a Greek campus. I am in a sorority, and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be in one on a big campus, but I like it here. Many of my friends are in my sorority, and I’m not sure I would’ve met them without it. I have quite a few friends who aren’t in a sorority or fraternity, and they enjoy it as well.
