Greek Life, Southeast Missouri State University

Sounds Greek to you?
Joining a fraternity or sorority is an exciting experience. At Southeast, there are a number of national sororities and fraternities to choose from if you decide to “go Greek.” You will find that all Greek letter organizations are active in community service, intramural sports, scholarship activities and fundraising events.

You’ll make lifelong friendships, have leadership opportunities and enjoy friendly rivalries during Homecoming and Greek Week. Annual Greek Week activities include tug-of-war competitions, food drives, Greek Sing, academic recognition receptions and Special Olympics.

As a member of a fraternity or sorority, you also are eligible to live in renovated Group Housing, an area of campus in which many Greek members live.

When can you “go Greek”?
At Southeast, you can choose to "go Greek" (join a social sorority or fraternity) as early as your first semester on campus. While most Southeast students become "Greek" in the first half of their freshman year after participating in fall recruitment, many others wait until later in their careers to join. Criteria for membership in individual sororities and fraternities varies based on their national guidelines; however, the University and local governing councils have created a minimum set of criteria for our campus. The minimum criteria are as follows:

Are there different types of organizations?
Yes! At, Southeast, there are three types of Greek councils, which are referred to as the Interfraternity Council (IFC), Panhellenic Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). The IFC and the Panhellenic Association serve as the governing body for the fraternities and sororities, respectively. The NPHC is a national coordinating body for the historically African American fraternities and sororities at Southeast. Each group has different eligibility requirements and is unique in its membership, tradition, scholarship and social activities.
