Centenary College of Louisiana is a small liberal arts school in Shreveport, and its Greek system reflects that intimate campus environment. The total number of active chapters is modest — a handful of fraternities and a couple of sororities — but Greek life still plays a real role in the social fabric of a campus this size.
On the fraternity side, you've got IFC chapters including Kappa Alpha Order, Kappa Sigma, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and Theta Chi, plus Alpha Phi Alpha representing the NPHC. The two sororities, Chi Omega and Zeta Tau Alpha, operate under Panhellenic. So there's both IFC and Panhellenic council structure here, along with NPHC representation, which is notable for a school of this size.
Because Centenary is a smaller private school, recruitment tends to feel more personal than what you'd experience at a big state university. You're not walking through massive house tours with hundreds of other students — it's a more low-key process, and that cuts both ways. You're more likely to actually get to know the people you're rushing with before you even get a bid.
Chapter housing at Centenary typically takes the form of on-campus lodge-style spaces rather than the sprawling Greek row houses you'd see at larger SEC or Big 12 schools. The social scene is real but proportional to the overall campus size. Philanthropy events and mixers are common touchpoints across chapters throughout the year.
At a school where the total undergraduate population sits in the hundreds rather than the tens of thousands, Greek organizations tend to have a tighter presence and members often hold leadership roles across multiple parts of campus life simultaneously.
