Greek System
There are six social fraternities and sororities on campus, two music fraternities and numerous academic fraternities.
Each of these groups is relatively large in size relative to the size of the institution and consistently contributes to philanthropies, both regionally and globally. The number of members in the social fraternities can range between 50 to 80 members per chapter.
The fraternities and sororities are an active presence on campus through philanthropy, intramural sports and Greek Olympics.
