Fraternities and Sororities are an integral part of Oklahoma City University. Today Oklahoma City University is home to six National Greek-letter organizations, which collectively constitute the largest membership-based and multi-faceted community on campus.
Representing over 18% of the student population, the women of Alpha Chi Omega, Gamma Phi Beta, and Alpha Phi along with the men of Kappa Sigma, and Lambda Chi Alpha have made their mark in the community. OCU Greeks are well regarded for their brotherhood and sisterhood, high scholastic achievements, service to others, and leadership. Greek organizations offer support, encouragement, and mentorship each student needs in their “home away from home.” Greek life offers many of life’s lessons outside the classroom including friendship, loyalty, respect for ritual and heritage, and most importantly time management skills. Women and men of all majors on campus participate in Greek life activities!
Note: A National study finds Fraternity/Sorority membership may encourage students to stay in college and that Greek affiliation in college contributes positively to community involvement after graduation. Also reported, Greek-affiliated alumni are more satisfied with their social development during college than non-Greeks.
