Greek life at Northwestern is more than just parties and football - it is a diverse group of social organizations where members typically have higher GPAs than non-Greek students. Many Greek members are also involved in philanthropic events like Dance Marathon, demonstrating that being in a fraternity or sorority is about more than just socializing. Nearly 40% of undergraduates at Northwestern, around 3,000 students, are members of one of the university's 47 Greek chapters across four governing councils, with Greek life having been present at the school since 1859.

greek?Greek life is often seen through the eyes of the quintessential college movie: something
rooted in football, school spirit and red solo cups. While those aspects do exist, North-
western Greek life is something more, rising beyond the stereotypes as a diverse group
of social organizations. With typically higher average GPAs than non-Greek peers and
status as the largest demographic of participants in Dance Marathon, many members of
the Northwestern community see going Greek as more than a social choice.
