Ohio University - OU Greek Life Reviews

Greek life at OU was surprisingly bigger than I expected. Going through sorority recruitment in the fall was difficult with how long the days were and how much effort was put into everyone's appearance and the whole system overall. It calms down once everyone finds their home but all of the sorority houses are so pretty looking and greek life def helps you to make more friends and connections.

In all honesty, greek life has a big but not overwhelming presence at OU. Definitely has philanthropic events throughout the year, but more required involvement from ALL chapters would be a good way to improve. Socially gives a big boost but you don’t need to go greek to have fun at OU. There are defined tiers here, and some frats/srats are VERY selective on who they bid (ex: fratwise- Sig pi, Phi psi, Beta sratwise- Adpi/ChiO/PiPhi)

A few chapters (both frat and srat) bring down the general attractiveness rating significantly. OU isn’t a HUGE Greek school to the point where you will get picked on if you’re not Greek. Hazing really only happens in Fraternities.

transferred out of OU because i got trashed all week... biggest mistake of my life

Active chapters and most of the houses are really nice, especially the sororities.

Although a fairly small percentage of people are in Greek life, recruitment can be pretty cut throat. Honestly would say that Greek life is a great social boost at OU but definitely not required to have fun at this school! I'd recommend at least giving it a shot

I didn't think it was going to be but greek life is actually a pretty big deal here. Nothing compared to the South but its decent
