Small School Greek Life

[KSUViolet06]

My school is pretty big (2nd largest state school in Ohio). Many students don't live on campus or they go home on weekends. It has just over 25,000 undergrads, but 8% of them are Greek (per the most recent media guide). So in comparison to the size of the school, Greek Life is pretty small.

We have 6 Panhellenic sororities (AXD, AF, CW, SSS, DZ, DG), a local sorority (Phi Gamma Pi)17 IFC fraternities (not going to name them all), and 8 of the NPHC groups (all with the exception of AKA).

Even though the percentage of Greeks is small in comparison to the size of the student body, Greeks are involved in most of the major activities on campus. The school puts on the Homecoming activities (dance competiton/bonfire/etc) and Greeks are the only teams who participate. The majority of Student Senators are Greek (as are most of the people who care to run). Student Ambassadors (the people who give campus tours and greet important visitors to the university) are 90% Greek. I could go on, but you get the idea. They're a small percentage of the campus population, but they are the only ones who participate in big things.

My alma mater has about 3,000 undergrads, 30% of which are greek. The school has 7 NPC sororities and 5 NIC fraternities. I'd say the greeks are easily the most involved students on campus, whether its SGA, honor societies, newspaper, RAs, theatre, etc.

at Arizona State we have 19 IFC Chapters and for Panhellenic we have 14 sororities. we are a really big school but probably like 8% of campus is greek. greek life isnt that strong here, which really sucks.

When I got to school as a Freshman there were 6 organizations on campus, and by the time I left there were only 2 that still had charters, and one was on probation. How sick is that.
