A Brief overview of Greek Life

  Social Greek-lettered fraternities and sororities have been a tradition at Tufts for the past 150 years. These student organizations are typically chapters of inter/national fraternities and sororities. They are referred to as “Greek” because they use Greek letters as a reflection of their noble ideals and principles adopted from ancient Greeks. Tufts currently recognizes 12 social Greek-letter fraternities and sororities, including nine men’s fraternities, three women’s sororities, and one co-ed independent fraternity. Several culturally-based city-wide Greek organizations also have a presence at Tufts, bringing our total membership to 23 chapters.

Greek organizations are very active on- and off-campus. Approximately 11% (Fall) to 14% (Spring) of Tufts’ undergraduate students choose to join a fraternity or sorority. Membership enhances opportunities to meet new people, achieve academically, learn leadership skills, and serve the broader Tufts community. Alumni networking and mentoring helps illustrate the benefits of life-long membership and giving back to the next generation of Tufts students.
