University of Central Florida - Greek Life

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Greek students at UCF are enthusiastic and have a very visible presence on campus. Members of fraternities and sororities provide the majority of school spirit at UCF. It’s also safe to say that no other segment of the student population has dedicated more time and resources or has raised more money for charities than the members of the UCF Greek community.Students who join fraternities and sororities seem happy with their decision. It’s a social and active way to be involved while making lasting friendships. Going away to college can be scary and unfamiliar; joining a Greek organization can make this transition easier and more fun.

For the most part, students are involved in Greek life for their freshman and sophomore years, with participation and dedication trailing off after that. Many students don’t feel that joining a fraternity or a sorority is right for them. They don’t feel alienated or overlooked due to this decision. Weigh your decision whether joining a Greek organization is right for you, and whatever you decide UCF is sure to have something for you.

Something like 30 percent of students are involved with a Greek organization, whether social, academic, or professional. The Greek organizations all come together for good causes, though, no matter what their philanthropy is, which is really nice. 12345 Greek Life: March 07, 2009 Report

Greek life does not get a lot of coverage in the school paper since they do not talk to the media, but as long as you know someone in Greek, I think it's pretty huge in terms of the number of people involved. If the UCF police hear about any type of hazing, they investigate the fraternity. If there is hazing going on, the entire fraternity house will get shut down. 12345 Greek Life: February 23, 2009 Report
