...that even the non-Greek world knows of these fraternities and sororities. They’ve made headlines for one reason or another. They were notorious, or the most rushed. They robbed banks, or raised the most for their philanthropy.... Read more

With so many undergraduates joining fraternities and sororities, one thing is for sure: that’s a lot of bodies. And, a lot of potential to do good. Hence, most chapters across campuses have their mission rooted in some kind of philanthropic effort. Each year, chapters devote time and attention to planning a fundraiser to raise money for their philanthropy.... Read more

Next to Instagram, Tumblr is fabulous. You can get lost, scrolling for hours over beach landscapes, long-haired girl crushes, and tailgate style. If you’re a sorority, you know this, and you’ll have curated your Tumblr page to follow suit. ... Read more

On every campus across the country there are a couple sororities that win their bid day. Of course, this is a matter of opinion, but we have pretty strong photo evidence that these 10 sororities set the bar for bid day excellence. There’s no one way to win a bid day, but you know winning when you see it. Allow us to explain just how these 10 sororities won their bid days.... Read more

It takes guts to be one of the inaugural members of a new chapter on campus. The founding members are challenged to build something out of nothing. Much respect to the leaders who not only joined a new chapter, but are quickly taking their chapters to the top ranks at their respective schools. Here are 10 new chapters that are quickly rising to the top.... Read more

House moms rock. Every sorority girl knows that a house does not function without everyone’s favorite second mother. I wanted to write an article that highlights reason why sorority girls love their house moms as well as spotlight a few of the best moms in the country.... Read more

Spring is right around the corner. Most schools that conduct formal recruitment during the spring semester have recently welcomed their new babies. Just as we have for the last several years, we’ve assembled the data to determine what sororities/fraternities are on top of the Greek rankings. We’ve had some shakeups in our rankings from last semester. Here are GreekRank’s Spring 2017’s top sororities and fraternities in the categories of Sisterhood/Brotherhood, Involvement, Classiness, Popularity, Looks, Fun, And Overall Highest Ranked...

There at 26 Panhellenic sorority members. Each of them have an official unique color or color combination. After asking myself “which sorority has the best colors”, I realized that these preferences would be very subjective. No surprise there. Yet, what I was able to do is list the first thing that comes to mind when I look at a sororities colors.... Read more

You have made one of the biggest decisions of your life to go to college. Congratulations! However, that’s not the only decision that you’ll have to make when it comes to college life. Another important decision that you’ll probably make is the decision to go Greek in college. Greek life has lots of benefits to offer to its members – opportunities to build a network, social/community activities to participate in, a strong brotherhood bond to maintain, and many more!  However, one of the biggest challenges college guys face at the beginning of their Greek life is choosing the right fraternity for themselves....

Every chapter has that one event where, if you skip it, the older brothers give you a look. Not an angry look - just a disappointed one. Like you just said you've never seen The Godfather. For us, that event was Founders Day. Not the formal. Not homecoming. Not even our date party at the lake house that one spring where things got genuinely legendary. Founders Day. And for a long time, I didn't really get why. ... Read more

Xavier University just announced it's welcoming three new Greek chapters to campus, and the reaction from most Greek life observers is going to be some version of "great, more chapters." But I think that response misses the more interesting question. Not whether expansion is happening - it clearly is - but what Xavier is actually setting these new chapters up for, and whether anyone there has thought seriously about what comes next. ...

Penn State just announced a new wrinkle in how fraternity and sorority recruitment is going to work - a delayed fall option that gives incoming students more time before they commit to a chapter. And my first reaction, honestly, was somewhere between skeptical and genuinely curious. Because I've seen recruitment done in a way that felt more like a speed-dating cattle call than a real process for finding your people. If Penn State is trying to fix that, I'm at least willing to hear it out. ... Read more

Every few months, some op-ed runs with a headline about the death of Greek life. A chapter gets suspended somewhere, enrollment drops at one school, and suddenly everyone's ready to write the obituary. I've been sitting in Panhellenic meetings for three years listening to that same panic, and I'm done with it. Greek life isn't dying. It's restructuring, and if you actually look at what's happening on the ground, the evidence is pretty clear. ... Read more
