The University of San Diego is currently the home to 13 Greek organizations. In 2011, approximately a quarter of the undergraduate student body belonged to a fraternity, sorority, or coeducational Greek organizations. USD is a deferred recruitment campus, which means first semester students are not allowed to join Greek organizations.

Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or life:
“The uppermost idea with Hellenism is to see things as they really are; the uppermost ideas with Hebraism is conduct and obedience. Nothing can do away with this ineffaceable difference. The Greek quarrel with the body and its desires is, that they hinder right thinking; the Hebrew quarrel with them is, that they hinder right acting.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“One of the fundamental reasons why so many doctors become cynical and disillusioned is precisely because, when the abstract idealism has worn thin, they are uncertain about the value of the actual lives of the patients they are treating. This is not because they are callous or personally inhuman: it is because they live in and accept a society which is incapable of knowing what a human life is worth.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
