Students may join a fraternity or sorority in their first semester. However, living in a fraternity or a sorority house is an option starting their second semester. BGSU provides trained, graduate level, live-in staff to each of the 30 fraternity and sorority chapters housed on campus to help foster a positive learning environment.  Many chapter houses have cooks who prepare meals in the house under chapter guidance.  All chapter members, whether they live in the chapter house or elsewhere, benefit from being part of this vibrant community. 

At BGSU, Greeks enjoy:

• formal dinner dances
• awards banquets and alumni get-together
• intramurals
• chapter exchange dinners
• fund-raising and social events

Family-style living in on-campus sororities and fraternities has great appeal for members. Living, eating and studying together helps solidify lifelong friendships.

Standards of the Greek community:

• The Greek community prohibits all forms of hazing.
• Most Greek houses are substance free (no tobacco or alcohol)
• New Members must achieve a 2.50 GPA in order to join
• Chapters must maintain a 2.50 GPA
