Robert Morris University - RMU Overview

  About Greek Life at RMU

Robert Morris University sits about 25 miles outside of Pittsburgh, and it's a smaller private school with a campus culture that reflects that — tight-knit, pretty residential, and with a Greek system that fits the scale of the place. It's not a massive SEC or Big Ten scene, but there's a real mix of organizations here across both traditional and historically Black Greek-letter councils.

On the fraternity side, you've got IFC chapters like Alpha Chi Rho, Alpha Phi Delta, Kappa Delta Rho, Phi Delta Theta, and Phi Sigma Kappa, along with NPHC representation through Iota Phi Theta and Phi Beta Sigma. The sorority side includes Panhellenic chapters like Delta Phi Epsilon, Delta Zeta, and Zeta Tau Alpha, with Alpha Kappa Alpha and Zeta Phi Beta representing the NPHC. That's a solid spread for a school this size — you've got both IFC/Panhellenic and NPHC councils active on campus.

Rush and recruitment at RMU tend to be more low-key compared to bigger state schools. Don't expect a week of massive events with hundreds of people — it's more personal, and chapters are generally smaller, which means you actually get to know people during the process. That's pretty typical for private schools in this enrollment range.

Greek life here is part of the social scene but it doesn't dominate campus the way it does at larger schools. RMU doesn't have a traditional Greek Row with chapter houses, so a lot of social activity happens on campus or off-site rather than at house parties. Chapters do stay active with philanthropy events, campus involvement, and intramural sports, and you'll see their presence at university events throughout the year.

Overall it's a smaller, more close-knit Greek community where chapters tend to have a real presence relative to the size of the student body. The Pittsburgh area gives members plenty to do outside of campus life, which tends to factor into how the social side of Greek membership looks here.
