Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The Greek system at the University of Oregon has faced a lot of criticism in recent years. With all fraternities required to go dry and general recruitment struggling, Greeks aren’t what they used to be at UO. Students agree that if you’re a part of Greek life, it will be a big deal for you and probably grow to encompass most of your social atmosphere. Those who abstain from it, however, won’t be heavily affected. Rather than dominating campus social life, the Greeks offer a fun alternative to the bar scene. Most of the time, you’ll be able to get into frat parties without a problem, though many parties are now held off campus because of the alcohol restrictions.

The Greek system has definitely been struggling and seems more fitting for the underclassmen rather than older students. It’s not uncommon to hear of former Greeks who have dropped out of the system due to finding new friends, maturing out of it, or simply getting sick of sub-par living conditions. For those looking for it, however, the Greek system does offer a solid sense of community with a social atmosphere and allows you to bond and become great friends with people of all backgrounds.

Personal Dislike

My opinion of Greek Life is entirely negative but also entirely personal. I have lots of friends who love it. The Frats party the most but they also get in the most amount of trouble.

Greek Life Big, but Smaller Than Many Comparable Schools

While Greek life certainly plays a large role on campus, it's smaller than similar schools like, say, Oregon State University. Ultimately, this is a good thing; people don't feel left out for being apart from sororities and fraternities.
