University of Denver
- Greek Life

Good Greeks

Greek is awesome at Denver and is becoming bigger and bigger each year. There are 8 Fraternities: Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Zeta Beta Tau, Theta Chi, Beta Theta Pi, and Phi Kappa Sigma. For Sororities there are 5: DG, DZ, Tri delta, Alpha Phi, and Gamma Phi. They are all growing as Greek life at Denver is becoming larger every year.

Greek Life

Because the University of Denver is so small, greek life is prominent. It is very much centered into the social scene on campus, as many of the fraternities philanthropy events are the biggest and most popular parties of the year. I would say that any non-Greek student could have a problem with the Greek system, but for the majority Greek students are popular among students because so many are involved. There are 8 fraternity houses and a sorority row as well. The most popular fraternities are Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, SAE, and Lambda Chi Alpha. The most popular sororities are Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, and Gamma Phi.

University hates Greek Life

In regards to involvement and participation, Greek life is fairly strong (B+). However, the University officials hate Greek Life and want them to be completely off campus. Recently, they kicked Beta out of their house (some say illegally), are trying to kick SAE out of their house, and have given the Sigma Chi chapter little options in their housing situation. The university does not care about its students, especially those in Greek Life. The university is a business and all it cares about is how to make the top dollar. It completely disregards ethics and tradition and uses its power to have its way. I have realized this and heard from several fraternities that this is the case and that is the whole reason why I am transferring.
