While Greek life is alive and thriving at UW, it is not a dominating life force. Most of the students affected by the Greek system are members of a fraternity or sorority. For these students, the lifestyle of the Greek can be a little overwhelming. If nothing else, students feel their experience in this system has helped them meet a lot of interesting people. While the sororities and fraternities do offer plenty of socialization, students don’t feel it is the only way to meet people at UW.
UW is home to nearly forty sororities and fraternities. While some are geared towards its members being of a certain ethnicity or academic field, they all offer a strong social aspect. Those in the Greek system often partake in intramural events, fundraising nights, and volunteer activities. Furthermore, the Greek System is not totally exclusive. Even if students are not a part of a frat or sorority, they are usually welcome at most of their parties or other social events.

Greek Life
Greek life isn't a very prominent scene in Madison, but the students that do participate seem to love it.

Great for Freshman
It's fun for Freshman year to get to know new people. There is so much going on here - that if you do not do a greek house - there is plenty else to be involved in

Greeks Don't Dominate the Scene
Madison is known as a party school, so you don't really need to go Greek in order to party. If you want you can, but it's not that big of a deal
