Wright State’s Greek life is nothing like what you’d expect. From the cliches on TV to the horror stories in the news, Wright State defies the stereotypes with their Greek life. The fraternities and sororities develop student leaders, philanthropists, strong academics and overall high achieving members.
Among those who discover that Greek life, indeed, does exist on WSU’s campus, the question is how to get involved.
For the sororities, there are five in the Panhellenic Council. Their recruitment begins on Sept. 21. If you’re interested in finding out what Greek life is all about, there are a few pre-recruitment events that you can attend with no obligation to join.
Wednesday, Sept. 12 is “Meet PHC” night in the Apollo room at 6 p.m. This is a chance to meet each of the sororities along with Panhellenic Council, who organizes and runs the recruitment process. This is a great chance to find out if this is the right choice for you.
Wednesday, Sept. 19 and Thursday, Sept. 20 are Recruitment orientations, which will go over the details of how recruitment works. They will tell you the “Dos and Don’ts” of the recruitment rounds and answer any questions about the process. Both of these sessions are in the Rathskeller from 7-9 p.m.
For the fraternities, we have six in our Interfraternity Council. They are all taking new members.
Their recruitment involves coming out to the different events being held by each fraternity. The events range from playing kickball or basketball on campus to simply coming to one of their weekly meetings. There is a schedule with all of the fraternity events available in the Greek office in the Org Complex or you can visit Gina Keucher in the Student Activities office for more details.
For NPHC, also known as the Divine Nine and known as the Nationally African American organizations, they have an intake process that allows you to show interest your freshman year, but you can’t join until you are at least Sophomore status. For more information on how to get involved with their intake process, contact Gina Keucher in the Student Activities office.
Greek life is an excellent way to meet a lot of people, build yourself into a better person, build your campus into a better place, find a home away from home and many more endless opportunities. Go Greek!
