Loyola University New Orleans is a small Jesuit school tucked into Uptown New Orleans, right next to Tulane, and its Greek system reflects that intimate, city-focused campus environment. There's no massive Greek Row here, but there's a real community across both traditional and historically Black Greek-letter organizations.
The fraternities fall under IFC, with chapters like Phi Kappa Psi and Pi Kappa Phi representing the council. On the sorority side, Panhellenic includes chapters like Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, and Theta Phi Alpha. NPHC is also present on campus, with Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Phi Beta Sigma representing the fraternities, and Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, and Zeta Phi Beta on the sorority side. That's a solid mix of councils for a school Loyola's size.
Don't expect the same recruitment experience you'd see at a big SEC school. Loyola's total undergrad population is relatively small, so rush and intake processes tend to feel more personal. IFC and Panhellenic chapters typically run formal recruitment in the fall, while NPHC chapters follow their national organizations' intake processes on their own timelines throughout the year.
Housing works differently here than at a lot of schools. Chapters don't have the kind of dedicated Greek houses you'd see at larger universities — members live on campus or off campus in the city, and chapter life centers more around events, service, and brotherhood or sisterhood than around a house address.
New Orleans itself is a big part of what shapes the culture. The city has no shortage of things going on, so Greek organizations here tend to lean into community service, philanthropy events, and campus programming as the main ways chapters stay visible and connected. Loyola also has a strong social justice and service tradition rooted in its Jesuit identity, and that tends to influence how chapters present themselves and what they prioritize.
Overall, it's a smaller Greek community where membership tends to mean a closer-knit experience than you'd get in a system with thousands of affiliated students spread across dozens of chapters.
