The list to top all other lists -- what movies portrayed Greek life in the most accurate (or inaccurate) light, with the most over the top (or overwhelmingly basic) antics, and memorable and/or cringeworthy characters? There's lots to satirize about sororities and fraternities, but at some point, things get a bit overparodized. Here’s our list of the all-time cliched Greek life movies....

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....

Think your university has strong Greek roots that go way back? The first collegiate social Greek organizations in North America were established in the first half of the 19th century. A few schools proudly proclaim they are the “Mother of Greek Life” or the “Mother of Fraternities”. We have assembled a list of universities that can boast the greatest number of fraternities and sororities established on their campuses....

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....

There's a moment every chapter officer hits eventually. You're on the phone with your national headquarters, trying to get a simple answer about your recruitment budget or a new member education policy, and you realize - this person has no idea who you are, what your campus is like, or what you actually need. They're reading from a script. And your chapter is just one of two hundred dots on a spreadsheet they'll never look at twice.

Something shifted on campuses around 2021 and it didn't stop shifting. Fraternities that once operated like they were untouchable started showing up to community service events, posting about mental health, running DEI workshops, hosting sober socials.

There's a piece from the Collegiate Times making the rounds right now with a pretty blunt premise: your For You page has been lying to you about what college actually looks like. And honestly, as someone who graduated in 2024 after four years deep in fraternity life, I read it and felt something. Not surprise. More like the specific exhaustion of watching a problem you lived through finally get a headline.

If you're a freshman girl who just heard the word "recruitment" for the first time and your only reference point is TikTok montages of girls crying and jumping up and down in matching outfits - you are not alone, and you are also working with incomplete information. Panhellenic formal recruitment is one of the strangest, most structured, most genuinely meaningful processes on a college campus, and almost nobody explains it to you before you're already in it.

Award ceremonies in Greek life get dismissed a lot. I get it - they can feel like a participation trophy situation where every chapter gets a plaque and everyone goes home feeling validated without anything actually changing. But the Ritter Awards at Mississippi State University are worth paying attention to, and not just because MSU's Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life put out a press release about it.

When Greek life membership more than doubles at a university, you don't just shrug and move on. That's not a rounding error. That's not a fluke year. UA Little Rock's Greek system apparently did exactly that, and I think it deserves more than a feel-good headline and a pat on the back.
