How do i get greek life at my college?

Question

I go to the University of Illinois at Springfield. We are the newest U of I campus and have yet to have any frats or sororities move in. How do we get greek life on campus?

Answer 1

Well, there's a few things that will need to be done:

1) Get at least a few friends/acquaintances together who want to start a new chapter and are willing to go through the process.

2) Contact your student government regarding the process of constituting a student organization. Make sure that there are no campus policies prohibiting fraternities and sororities.

3) Get in touch with a fraternity or sorority that is established at another campus, and express your interest in starting a chapter at your university. They can either help you or point you in the right direction to chartering your new chapter.

4) Once you have gotten the process/go-ahead from these groups, it's time to recruit some members! Put up flyers, set up a table/booth somewhere prominent on campus, get people interested!

If this is something that is a priority to enough people, it will get rolling. But it takes someone willing to brave that first step.

Answer 2

UIS is looking at bringing greek life to campus. Currently I believe that APO (a service co-ed fraternity) is starting up. However social greeks are a few years away.

Definately express your interest though as another answerer suggested. This is UIS' first year with a regular freshman class so they're still adapting, but the more interest shown, the more likely it will occur.

Answer 3

i don't advise it. Frats- male sorority-woman they are, for the main area, social group on a school campus. Frats have a bad recognition for wild events. My nephews frat have been given closed down for a 365 days via hazing, purely 2 years in the past. sorry, yet i'm not a huge fan of frats or sororities. they are in a position to fee a brilliant number of money, engulf your social existence to the exclusion of alternative acquaintances. some do a brilliant number of community provider initiatives. some are educational fraternities.

Answer 4

Well, do you know how to drink massive quantities of alcohol and vomit onto people's furniture while wearing frozen underwear on your head?

Then You're almost there! I guess I would have to say- why the hell would you want that on your campus? Isn't life hard enough without INVITING group who discriminate, humiliate, and desecrate other people in order to feel important?

Consider yoursleves BLESSED to be without that crap and get on with the reason your poor parents have forked over their life savings sending you to college- LEARN SOMETHING, GET A GOOD JOB and PAY THEM BACK!!!!!
