Valparaiso University (Valparaiso, Indiana)

*While I was there, approximately 1/3 of the campus population was Greek (with 7 sororities and 9 fraternities, it's pretty prevalent there!) I couldn't find any current percentages, however

I hate to be a big statistics pickypants but that would only be about 31% overall. You don't add the 2 percentages together, you take the male % times males plus the female % times females, add them together and then divide by total students.

Any Cyclones can verify this, but I believe Iowa State is around 25,000 students, with 14% Greek.

That's close, but I think the percentage that's greek has dropped slightly, to about 11%. The 25,000 students may be both undergrad and graduate combined.

Mercer University

Very much a Greek oriented campus. Greeks are extremely visible in lots of campus organizations; positive image overall with the university.

OleMissGlitter 11-01-2004 12:52 PM

From the Ole Miss Admissions website, "About 35% of undergraduate women and 25% of undergraduate men are active in the Greek system as members of social fraternities and sororities." There are about 13, 000 students.

Auburn updated their student info/trends page, and the graphs aren't loading quite right on my compy. But, according to the page they had up last spring, here are the stats:

Total undergrad enrollment: 19,000ish
Percentage of Greek students: 24%, or about 4,560

Enrollment for students was at a 51:49 girl to guy ratio. So that makes for about 2,326 women in sororities and 2,234 men in fraternities. I'm just pulling those numbers from playing with a calculator (51% of 19,000 to get # of female undergrads, 49% for # of male undergrads, then 24% of each of those numbers), so they're probably not dead on. And I'm pretty sure that the number of female Greeks is higher because of the amount of women we have go through recruitment--I think at last count the Panhellenic system here was close to 3,000 members. Eitherway, it's a large Greek system, but not enough to "dominate" the campus.

EDIT: I forgot to add this info about the makeup of our Greek system, remembered it after seeing the next post (thanks kk_gphib_01!). We have 27 NIC fraternities, 16 NPC sororities, and 6 NPHC fraternities and sororities. No locals or multiculturals; I kinda wish we had a few because I think they add something different to the mix for those that don't want to go with org's so big.

kk_bama 11-01-2004 02:52 PM

For last fall '03, sorority membership was at 25% while fraternity membership was at 18.5% here at Alabama. Total greek percentage was 22%. We have 15 NPC sororities, 4 NPHC sororities, two multicultural sororities, as well as 22 NIC fraternities, 4 NPHC fraternities and 1 local fraternity.

AUDG 11-01-2004 03:28 PM

Ok, the graphics loaded on my computer and Auburn is actually very lopsided in the Greek community!

For Fall 2003, out of 10,220 undergrad men, 1,808 (17%) were in frats. Out of 9,828 women, 3,174 (32.3%) were in sororities. Combined, 24.9% of the University is Greek.

Oops..math isn't my strong suit. Sorry for the error, I thought it was a bit high. Thanks for pointing it out.

XOMichelle 11-01-2004 06:40 PM

Stanford: about 6500 undergrads around 10% greek.

SapphireSphinx9 11-01-2004 07:22 PM

i don't know the numbers... i don't think anyone has the official numbers of the greeks at my school - theres some dual campus chapters and groups that hide membership from the school.

but i can tell you that what ever the percentage is, it's not enough! ;)
