Loyola University Chicago is a mid-size Jesuit school on the north side of Chicago, right along Lake Michigan, and its Greek system reflects the kind of place it is — academically focused, community-oriented, and more low-key than your typical Big Ten party school. The system here is smaller and more intimate than what you'd find at a large state university, but it's genuinely active and has a real presence on campus.

On the fraternity side, you've got IFC chapters like Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Sigma Phi, and Pi Kappa Phi. NPHC is also represented through Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi. Sorority options span Panhellenic — with chapters like Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Sigma Alpha, and Phi Sigma Sigma — plus Kappa Beta Gamma as an independent sorority. It's a solid mix of national organizations across different councils.

One thing to know upfront: Loyola doesn't have a traditional Greek Row or chapter houses. Chapters operate out of campus spaces and meeting rooms rather than residential houses, which shapes the whole feel of the experience. Social events, philanthropy work, and brotherhood or sisterhood activities tend to happen in more distributed ways across campus and the surrounding Rogers Park neighborhood.

Rush and recruitment here are pretty accessible compared to bigger schools. IFC formal recruitment typically happens in the fall, and Panhellenic runs a structured recruitment process as well. Because the system is on the smaller side, the process tends to feel a little more personal — you're getting to know actual members rather than moving through a massive assembly line of events.

Greek life at Loyola coexists with a campus culture that puts a lot of weight on service and social justice, which is pretty consistent with the Jesuit identity of the school. Philanthropy events and community service are a real part of chapter life here, not just a checkbox. Chapters regularly put on fundraisers and service initiatives that connect with the broader campus. It's not the dominant social force on campus the way it might be at a large state school, but for students who join, it tends to be a pretty central part of their college experience.
