Welcome to Iowa State!

By now, you’ve received literature about the greek community and the message, “Go greek, expect more.” When you join the greek community, you’ll join the original living-learning community at Iowa State. You can become a greek member, live in a residence hall and be a part of a Learning Community all at the same time.

With more than 50 chapters ranging in size from 5 to 95 members, there is something for everyone. Forty of our chapters live in houses, providing a home away from home.

Scholarship, leadership, philanthropy and friendship are the four cornerstones that bridge our 52 greek-letter chapters.

In addition to these cornerstones, some of our chapters have additional membership values including multicultural; faith-based, Catholic and Lutheran; LGBT; or academic, agriculture, technical sciences and engineering.

There are several ways to join.

Fraternities with houses are currently recruiting. The Department of Residence contract cancellation deadline to move into a greek chapter without penalty other than room deposit is Aug. 1.

Sororities with houses will participate in Collegiate Panhellenic Council Formal Recruitment Aug.14-19. Formal recruitment ends just in time for Destination Iowa State.

Multicultural chapters will host “Meet the Greeks” in the first few weeks of the fall semester.

To sign up for these opportunities and more, visit www.greek.iastate.edu.

Choose your adventure — go greek, expect more!
