Greek Life @ UW

UW-Madison is a great place to meet lots of people. But sometimes the whole meet-and-greet thing can get a little overwhelming when your campus has about 40,000 people on it. Getting involved with Greek Life can make your college experience less intimidating and more fun! Soon you’ll be recognizing more faces in your classes, the Union, the Serf, and the like.

Greeks are leaders

Leaders on campus, in business in their communities - just about everywhere. So why go Greek? Consider the following..

  • Since 1825, the founding of Greek-letter organizations, all but two U.S. Presidents were Greek.
  • Since 1825, all but two U.S. Vice-Presidents were Greek.
  • Both females elected to the U.S. Supreme Court were sorority members.
