What is Greek Life?
The Greek community at Monmouth College is made up of seven National Greek-letter fraternities and sororities that are divided into two governing councils: Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association.
There are over 300 students who are members of the Greek Community at Monmouth College. These students come from diverse backgrounds and are heavily involved on campus. They are involved in countless other extracurricular activities including Student Government, Athletics, Orientation, Residence Life, and many more.
Every fraternity and sorority is founded upon a set of values and ideals that are as timeless as the organization itself. These ideals are the foundation of each organization’s rituals, and each man and woman initiated into a fraternity or sorority is not simply joining a college organization; going Greek is a lifelong personal commitment to lead an intentional life grounded in a set of values that build character, foster personal growth and development, and impact the world.
Why Go Greek?
Friendship
Joining a fraternity or sorority at Monmouth College will give you a home away from home. As a member of a Greek organization, you will form meaningful connections and lifelong friendships with a diverse group of students who all share a common set of values and ideals.
Leadership Opportunities
Fraternities and sororities are learning laboratories that give students the opportunity to learn, test, and grow as they develop as individuals and as leaders. As student-run organizations, fraternities and sororities elect members to serve in positions ranging from Philanthropy Chair to President.
Giving Back to the Community
Every fraternity and sorority believes in making a difference in the world, and members of the Monmouth College Greek community never stop giving back. Greek organizations at Monmouth host their own community service and philanthropic activities as well as participate in Relay for Life and donate countless hours and thousands of dollars to the Monmouth community.
Academic Excellence
All members of fraternities and sororities share one commonality: they are students first. Greek organizations at Monmouth College consistently rank at or above the all-campus grade point average, and every chapter has academic programs and standards to help their members succeed.
