Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Greek life does have a strong presence on campus, with one quarter of the student body in a sorority or fraternity. However, because formal recruitment is in the spring, freshmen develop friendships prior to joining a fraternity or sorority, and maintain those friendships throughout their four years. Also, because there is no Greek housing on campus, members of different chapters can room together and with students unaffiliated with Greek life. All of the chapters interact, and very few people, if any, have close friends only from their chapter.

All of this fosters a strong sense of inclusion on campus. Non-Greek members come to philanthropy and social events put on by fraternities and sororities, and the sororities and fraternities are all mostly respected by the campus community for their service and commitment to building sisterhood and brotherhood. Overall, Greek life at USD is popular, but no one is treated any differently based on their decision to rush or not.

Not So Prominent

Greek Life is awesome for people who participate and they definitely have very full social calendars, but it is not at all a huge part of student life. There's no Greek housing on campus. It's easy to make friends and find parties if you're not in greek life. It's so expensive to be a part of it that at USD it probably isn't worth it.

Greek Life Is What You Make It

Greek life is a great way to get involved on campus. Some people look down on greek life, but I think it is fun and social yet we do community service and we do fundraisers to raise money. We do not have housing so we can still experience the dorm life yet experience greek life at the same time.

Greek Life

It is apparent when there are big Greek events taking place on campus, but otherwise if it is not a big event, it is relatively unheard of to non-Greek students.
