Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Less than five percent of the University population belongs to the Greek system, and although Greek leadership makes regular, concerted efforts to recruit, there is little interest in the lifestyle. This is perhaps symptomatic of the West, where the Greek tradition is regionally much weaker than it is on the East Coast. While Greeks have had strong ties to student government, and it’s been generally held that “to win you must have the Greek vote,” those ties have grown weaker every year. By and large, the majority of students looks down on Greeks (as opposed to other schools, where it’s the other way around), but the Greeks have a reasonably good relationship with the University administration.

Greeks Are Seen but Not Heard

I can't say I know much about the insider Greek life because I've never been a Greek myself. However, even from the outside, all I know about the Greek life is the T-shirts and logos the Greek students wear around campus. Also, I've seen their housing on campus. It's not very appealing to me, at least from the outside.

The only time that Greek life is a particularly big part of campus is during rush week. You don't really hear about it at any other time.

Dry?

The houses are completely dry, but most- if not all- of the greeks groups go out of state to go and get plastered over the weekends. Like every weekend.
