Greek life is a term used to describe all Greek letter organizations at a college or university. Typically Greek life is made up of fraternities and sororities. Greek brothers and sisters share a bond through their chapter rituals and pride themselves on their diverse ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds. Diversity builds strength and character as it brings members closer together in an effort to embrace each other’s ideals and to learn more about one another. Greek membership can assist in that transition by offering scholarship programs that may include study partners, mandatory study hours, and time management workshops. A student can also access the network of chapter members who already know how to use campus resources like the Babbidge Library, Writing Resource Center, computer labs, and academic advisers.

Greeks on campus organize fundraisers and social activities to enhance the college experience of all of their members. Students in fraternities and sororities say that going Greek helped them to meet tons of people and give them a truly unique experience. Greek members are visible throughout the campus, holding membership and leadership positions in campus organizations that range from departmental clubs to the highest honor societies. Perhaps the greatest benefits of joining the Greek community are the diverse and lasting social networks, academic support, and positive group experiences.

Greek groups are often identified by their color schemes; clothing, pins/badges, jewelry, and other items are often ceremoniously presented to new members or graduating elders.

Greek men and women continue to work hard to remove all aspects of hazing from Canadian campuses. Greek-letter organizations have also been criticized for failing to contribute in a positive way to either the personal or academic development of their members. Areas of particular concern for sociologists studying the Greek-letter system include alcohol abuse, eating disorders, gender roles, sexual coercion, and insensitivity to diversity. Greek organizations pride themselves on facilitating these important aspects of college life. Over 20% of our student body is involved in the Greek community, comprised of three national sororities and five national fraternities.
