Christian Brothers University - CBU Overview

  About Greek Life at CBU

Christian Brothers University is a small Catholic university in Memphis, Tennessee, and its Greek system reflects that intimate campus setting. CBU runs a compact but active mix of fraternities and sororities, with chapters spread across both IFC and Panhellenic councils, as well as NPHC organizations. That combination gives the Greek community a broader cultural presence than you might expect from a school this size.

The fraternities include Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Tau Kappa Epsilon on the IFC side, alongside NPHC chapters Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Phi Beta Sigma. Sororities include Alpha Xi Delta and Zeta Tau Alpha under Panhellenic, with Alpha Kappa Alpha and Zeta Phi Beta representing NPHC. So there's genuine representation from both historically Black Greek-letter organizations and traditionally white institutions, which shapes the overall dynamic on campus.

Because CBU is a smaller school, Greek life doesn't dominate the social scene the way it might at a large state university. It's more of a close-knit community where members tend to know each other across chapters. Recruitment here is generally more relaxed and low-key compared to big SEC schools — don't expect the massive, highly choreographed formal rush weeks you'd see at Ole Miss or Alabama. Chapters are more accessible, and the process tends to feel more personal.

Philanthropy and community service carry real weight in CBU's Greek culture, which fits with the university's Lasallian Catholic mission around service and social responsibility. Chapters regularly participate in campus-wide service events and their own national philanthropy programs. As for housing, CBU doesn't have a traditional Greek row with chapter houses — most members live in campus housing or off campus, which keeps the Greek experience tied closely to campus life rather than separate from it.
