Bentley University - BU Overview

  About Greek Life at BU

Bentley University is a small, business-focused school in Waltham, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, and its Greek system reflects that tight-knit campus feel. There are a handful of IFC fraternities and Panhellenic sororities active on campus, making this a more intimate Greek community compared to what you'd find at a large state school. But for a campus this size, it's a real presence in student social life.

On the fraternity side, IFC chapters include Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Sigma Phi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, and Sigma Pi. Panhellenic is made up of Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, Phi Sigma Sigma, and Kappa Delta. There's no NPHC or MGC presence listed at this time, so the Greek scene is primarily IFC and Panhellenic.

Bentley doesn't have a traditional Greek Row with chapter houses the way bigger universities do. Most chapters operate without dedicated residential housing, which means social events and brotherhood or sisterhood activities happen through other venues on and around campus. That shifts the culture a bit — it's less about living in a house and more about the org itself.

Recruitment here follows a fairly standard structure. IFC typically runs informal recruitment in the fall, and Panhellenic goes through a more structured formal recruitment process. Because Bentley's student body is relatively small, recruitment tends to feel more personal than at a big state school — you're likely to actually get to know the members before you commit.

Philanthropy is a consistent part of Greek life here, which tracks with Bentley's broader emphasis on community and service. Chapters regularly put on fundraising events and partner with local and national causes throughout the academic year. Socially, Greek orgs do drive a portion of the campus event calendar, though Bentley's proximity to Boston means students have plenty of options outside of campus life as well.
