Ramapo College of New Jersey - RCNJ Overview

  About Greek Life at RCNJ

Ramapo College of New Jersey is a small public liberal arts school in Mahwah, up in Bergen County near the New York border, and its Greek system reflects that smaller campus feel. There are over twenty active fraternities and sororities here, which is a solid number for a school of this size, and the chapters span several different governing councils including IFC, Panhellenic, NPHC, and Multicultural Greek Council organizations.

The MGC and NPHC presence is genuinely notable at Ramapo. You've got chapters like Lambda Theta Phi, Lambda Sigma Upsilon, Chi Upsilon Sigma, Lambda Theta Alpha, Mu Sigma Upsilon, Omega Phi Beta, and Theta Nu Xi, alongside NPHC heavyweights like Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega Psi Phi. That's a real mix of councils coexisting on one campus, which isn't always the case at schools this size.

On the IFC and Panhellenic side, you'll find recognizable national names like Tau Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, Zeta Beta Tau, Delta Phi Epsilon, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Alpha Omicron Pi, among others. Recruitment for IFC chapters typically happens in the fall, while Panhellenic formal recruitment runs on its own schedule. NPHC and MGC intake processes work differently and are generally intake-based rather than the traditional rush format.

Ramapo doesn't have a traditional Greek row or chapter houses on campus. Most chapters operate out of designated spaces or meeting areas within the school's facilities, which is pretty common for New Jersey public schools. That shapes the social dynamic a bit — events tend to be more spread around campus rather than concentrated in one area.

Philanthropy and community service are a consistent part of how chapters present themselves here. Greek-sponsored events show up throughout the academic year, and organizations tend to participate in broader campus programming as part of staying visible on a campus where Greek life is one piece of a larger social scene rather than the dominant force driving student life.
