NPC include Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta, and Sigma Kappa .
IFC include Delta Chi, Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Tau, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Pi, and Theta Chi. The IFC colonies are Pi Kappa Phi, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Zeta Beta Tau.
All of the Divine 9 are represented at CSULB as well.
There are also 12 cultural GLO's on campus as well.

Now I serve as an advisor to my GLO at UC Riverside where Greek Life is doing ok but I think there are many things that can be done to make it flourish. Unfortunately, the administration is slow to act on Greek Affairs.
UCR has 10 IFC's, 6 NPC's, 7 NPHC's, and many cultural and professional GLO's.

As an aside, what are you talking about restarted the greek system? My chapter has been continuously on campus since our chartering at CSULB in March of 1965.

I edited my post after some research. Still working on it & will fix when I've got the complete story.

Bette,
Delta Delta Delta has been at CSULB continuously since 1955. CSULB was a much smaller university at that time.

Delta Zeta, Tri Delta, Delta Gamma, Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Omicron Pi have all been at CSULB continously since they chartered in the late 50's to mid 60's. Sigma Kappa returned to campus about 1987. A lot of the fraternities have come and gone but overall, they have a pretty solid greek system!

CSULB really took off in terms of student population in the mid 70s. It's a beautiful campus with lots of blooming cherry trees, fountains, some outdoor art that is funky and open to interpretation...and an ocean view from some parts of the upper campus!

CSULB was recently noted by Princeton Review as one of the top three "best bang for your buck" universities nationwide. Some of the notable alums include Denise Austin, Richard and Karen Carpenter, Mark OMeara, Linda Dano and...my personal favorite, Steve Martin!

Don't forget the mile hike up to campus from the far-away parking lots.

When it comes to ocean view, I still think no campus can match Pepperdine!

It is nice up there, Peppy, but how about the views from Point Loma Nazarene University?

No greek life, but good surfing and a good jazz band. Or so I hear.
