Fraternity & Sorority Life
Welcome to the birthplace of sororities.
Our Greek men and women learn to become leaders, serve others and forge lifelong friendships.
Our sororities are kind of a big deal
National Greek Life began with the founding of Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma right here on our beautiful campus. The nation’s first women’s fraternity, Pi Beta Phi, was founded at Monmouth in 1867. Three years later, Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded at the College. They are known nationally as the Monmouth Duo, which means that there are pilgrimages to our town and campus every year from chapters around the country. Alpha Xi Delta, our third sorority, was founded in nearby Galesburg, and it is the closest active chapter to the sorority’s founding location.
Our men’s fraternities – Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau – have been at Monmouth for a combined 100-plus years. They also are a strong Greek presence on campus.
All are welcome
Greek Life embraces all students and produces some of the campus’ distinguished student leaders who excel in the classroom and in service to others. Greek organizations’ members consistently rank at or above the all-campus grade point average. Every chapter has academic programs, standards and support to help members succeed in and out of the classroom.
Friends for life
The brotherhood and sisterhood is real. Members of our Greek organizations form meaningful connections and lifelong friendships with a diverse group of students who share a common set of values and ideals.
Campus leaders
Fraternities and sororities are learning laboratories. They 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 Director of Equity & Inclusion to President.
Every fraternity and sorority believes in making a difference in the world. Members of the Greek community host numerous community service and philanthropic activities throughout the school year, both on campus and in the local Monmouth community.
