Greeks in your workplace

[Coramoor]

Well, for the first time I actually have Greeks in the workplace.

Usually people in the US Army are...not the type of people that join frats/sororities. It wasn't until I started working in an Aviation Brig. that I ran into other Greeks. Now I work with about 7 guys that were in various frats all with wives/girlfriends that were in sororities.

It's cool b/c we have similar experiences...and they know how to party and socialize.

=========================

Actually, its been my experience that a very healthy percentage of Army officers who are not West Point grads (no social Greek system there) tend to be fraternity men. There are fewer sorority women among the female officers but there is still a good representation. When I deployed in 2003 I was surprised and impressed by how many fraternity men were in leadership positions in combat arms units.

My office is filled with Greeks as it is a very young company with a lot of people working here right after graduation. My cube is next to a DU, I have a DG on my team, my friend was a Chi-O, I know two sigma Chis... the list goes on.

We have several Greeks in my workplace. We almost have the entire D9.

Alpha Kappa Alpha (3),Alpha Phi Alpha (2), Zeta Phi Beta (3), Delta Sigma Theta (1), Omega Psi Phi (1), Iota Phi Theta (1), Kappa Alpha Psi (1), Delta Zeta (1), Sigma Delta Tau

At my school one Assistant Principal is an AKA, another AP is APHIA, and one 15 year teacher is an AKA. I think there may be a few more but I'm not to sure.

[OrchidAlum]

There are two Alpha Sigma Tau alums, one Alpha Kappa Alpha, and one Lambda Phi Epsilon (also a Carnegie Mellon alum!). And, of course, this Alpha Chi.

[AznSAE]

one AKA, one DST, and one who was in a multicultural fraternity, and me

[Educatingblue]

We have the following greeks:

1 Sigma Gamma Rho (ME)
1 Phi Beta Sigma
1 Zeta Phi Beta
1 Omega Psi Phi
1 Alpha Phi Alpha

We had another Alpha, but he transferred at the first of the year

I'm the only one...although for awhile the other Executive Admin. was not only a Chi O, but from my chapter! She was a couple of years older, so we never knew each other at school though.

i don't work, but forgive me since i think this thread is kinda cool (once i learned about greek life through GC i suddenly started to notice people turning up greek all over the place on facebook)

- two guys in my major are brothers of Psi U (Psi U brothers are also heavily involved in our student government)
- my brother is a Phi Psi, as are several guys from HS (UMich)
- an RA in my building is an AKA
- a girl in my econ class is a Zeta Phi Beta
- two of my roommates in new orleans, one was a KD, the other alpha phi
- one of my best friend's brother is a delta chi (Arizona), as is one of my brother's good friends (UNLV)
- a friend from HS is also an alpha phi (U Washington)
- two of my ex's friends are tri-delts (Colgate)
- a friend who i've known my whole life is a DZ (Ohio Wesleyan)
- two other HS friends are DG (UChicago) and Phi Mu (Johns Hopkins)
- a girl from my study abroad program in HS is a DPhiE (Georgetown), another one is an SDT (as is another girl I've known since kindergarten) (both at Tulane), another is a tri-delt (Emory)
- a friend from HS is a Sigma Nu (Knox)
- two girls from my brother's year - one is a Theta Phi Alpha (Embry-Riddle), the other is a ZTA (GSCU)
- a girl from the year above me in HS is a Theta (Stanford), as is the daughter of a close family friend (Duke)


i'm sure there's more i don't know about, but greek chat certainly opened my eyes to all of this

[Xylochick216]

There are only 3 of us in our office at my new job. One is a Sig Ep, one is not affiliated, and then there's me

There aren't any greeks in my department.

I work for a private university that doesn't recognize the greek system, and while I'm sure there are a few spread out in different departments on campus, greekdom seems to be frowned upon by the intellectuals here.

That's how it is at the college where I work, except the problem is that it's an evangelical institution that frowns on "secret societies." However, there are MANY AKAs in the faculty, staff and administration. I'm not aware of any other greeks - I just see AKAs everywhere. Seems kinda funny to me though...why hire Greeks but turn around and condemn them?

[Pike_Cardinal]

youre lucky to get to work with so many greeks, where do you work?

Since the last time I posted I can now up my Greek count to a few more people: a Kappa Alpha Theta from UK, a Kappa Delta from UK, and another Sigma Kappa from UK. The Sigma Kappa from UK is exactly 10 years older than I am, and even though we barely knew each other a few years ago, we hang out all the time now! I think it was easy to be immediately comfortable around each other knowing that we have the Mystic Bond to share.
