is greek life here worth it?

Some facts.

Greek Life is small (~6%) at WSU. The organizations do their best to do as many philanthropies and events on or near campus as they can, and have a disproportional representation in other clubs or as members of Student Senate (~25%). Greek Council exists but isn't as powerful or necessary as on other campuses. Panhellenic exists and runs the national sororities. There is no other official governing body for the Fraternities.

There are four sororities at WSU - (founding date)
Alpha Sigma Tau( 2017), Delta Phi Epsilon (est 1991), Phi Theta Chi (est 1991; local) and Sigma Sigma Sigma (1992).

Delta Phi Epsilon has an official house.

There are three Fraternities in Winona - (founding date)
Kappa Chi (1990 renamed 2017; independent), Sigma Tau Gamma(1960-87; 2012) and Tau Kappa Epsilon(1970-75, 1991-92, 1996).

Kappa Chi has an official house.

Greek Life at WSU is worth the investment. Ignore the rumors and nonsense and go to recruitment if you're interested.

I love Greek life at WSU. It can be messy at times, but what organizations wouldnt be when run by college students lol. If youre looking for a sorority definitely go through formal recruitment! You can get info from any of the organizations social media accounts or the Panhellenic social media accounts. All of the women I've worked with have been great. I've learned a lot and definitely grown as an individual. The community really makes you feel at home.

If you're looking for a frat, I'd say it's worth looking into. I definitely don't know as much about what they do, but the guys in it seem to enjoy it.

Real talk. Avoid the local sorority and kappa chi. Kappa got thrown off campus. They aren't a real frat any more. Just a bunch of guys that party too much and live in a fire hazard of a home. Phi theta chi, the local sorority, just had a big hazing scandal and barely has any members. Both organizations are probably going to die off in the next couple of years.

Whatever you decide, good luck with your school year! Hope you find a place you love too.

Greek life is relatively small, but it's big enough where you'll always run into somebody you know around campus. Its a cool way to gain connections really fast. Really pushes you're communication skills.

Obviously, it really depends which organization you join. If they're a national in good standing with university... They're probably worth looking into! I wouldn't bother with the drama of "locals" though.

They're always in trouble.

Everyone talking about KX and IOX having problems forgets they've been on campus longer than anyone else. They have a lot of alumni that want them to exist. They're not going anywhere.

BTW Disney poster is wrong, we have a house too.

Smh everyone forgetting about the GOAT roll Phi Beta Sigma

So would you say that the school isn't very tolerant of Greeks, seeing how a lot of the frats seem to get kicked off often?

Also, how would you say the general social scene at the school is? Is it a suitcase school?

Thanks for all the info so far!
