College Prowler Take
There is a perception by many students on Maryland’s campus that the Greek community is overbearing, but in reality, not a huge percentage of students actually “go Greek.” The perceived dominance of fraternities and sororities on campus may simply be based on effective and assertive marketing techniques, which tend to include promotions via word of mouth, relationship-building, and basic Greek pride. Furthermore, a majority of the town bar patrons may in fact be Greek students simply because many of them like to socialize there, and College Park only has a few bars. More than ever, Greek students could be invading the bars more frequently because of the campus’s new restrictions on parties on Fraternity Row and beyond. Having the opportunity to experience “rush” on the campus is special to some Terps as it provides an easy way to quickly get involved and immersed in Maryland life. Greek life offers a way to experience diversity, friendship, leadership, scholarship, and service without having to reinvent the wheel. Buckle up, though—going Greek requires a commitment, and you can’t become president of a fraternity overnight. Students Speak Out

Not being Greek, I felt a slight pressure most of my college experience to become a part of the Greek system, and I think that is why a lot of students join—because they don’t know how else to get involved on campus. And while the Greek system is a great fit for some people, it isn’t the only thing to get involved with on campus. It might take a little more effort to go to a meeting of a club or organization that you’re interested in, but it’s well worth it. Not being Greek, I still went to lots of parties and had my share of typical college experiences. You just have to know where to look. Don’t feel like you have to join the Greek system to fit in and have fun! |

Now they’re real strict about parties. Greek life is very fun and I definitely recommend it. No, it doesn’t dominate the social scene. I think the school is big enough that if you’re not in Greek life, you can still be as social as you want. |

I didn’t join and still had the time of my life. Even though I wasn’t Greek, I still went to some frat parties. |

It doesn’t dominate the social scene. However, there is a strong presence of Greeks at the bars each night. People are motivated to be involved for different reasons: gaining popularity, having a group of friends, having something to do, or just because others are doing it. |
