Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The lack of an active social scene at UCSD also results in a generally unpopular Greek system. There are a number of frats and sororities, but they do not own the social scene. The Greek system is not thought highly of, and many students are skeptical of those who are involved. Greeks are oftentimes stereotyped as being stupid, overly promiscuous, or superficial. Being involved in the Greek system takes more time and money than most students are willing to allocate.

For students who choose to join a fraternity or sorority, it tends to take up much of their free time. Students active in the Greek system report that they have developed good friendships, enjoy being more involved on campus, and have an active social life. Fraternities and sororities also participate in charitable projects on campus and around the San Diego area. For a more untraditional Greek experience, students tend to join special interest fraternities, which are often coed and based around cultural groups, religions, or majors.

Frats and Sororities

There are many frats and sororities here at UCSD. Some focus on partying more than others. It all depends what you want youre interests are.

Here are UCSD we are NOT at all a party school.We are not socially dead, there are many other fun things to do. If you like to party there are parties but you just have to search for it.

No Greek Row

There are a lot of frats and sororities to join, but our school does not allow official greek housing in La Jolla, so there are no official houses for parties or a greek row.
