Dynamics of Greek Life on campus

[PANTHERTEKE]

I think the dynamics of Greek Life are the same almost anywhere.

The IFC/NPC groups hang out and associate almost exclusively with themselves, same goes for NPHC and Multicultural orgs. And within the different councils, even more seperations can exist (XYZ and ABC fraternities only hang out with EDF and PQR sororities, etc)

Once in a while there will be a joint philanthropy event between orgs in different councils. On some campuses Homecoming Week may be a joint effort between an IFC and NPC partnered with an NPHC or MGC org, whatever.

Of course the degree of this varies from school to school but it's usually like this.

I would agree with you. IFC/PHA sororities and fraternities tend to associate only with in themselves and the same is true with other councils as you stated. But from what I've seen (at least at MSU) is that there is an ignorance of these organizations on each side. To be honest (from the Multicultural Greek side) my sisters and I cannot relate on the level of being Greek, to lets say an ADPi here, because #1, our process to get into our respective organizations was different (which is a big deal here) #2 how our organizations are precieved as a whole, and #3 it really comes down to how our organizations are run. The every day to day practice. Ive also seen that there has been a move to "unite" on some level. A move for us as Greeks to understand each other on the general level to understand each other as a whole.Because of course, the one thing that does "unite" us all is the fact that we are all Greek. But again, that is just here at MSU.
