Union College Greek Life
The Union College Greek Community
Greek life at Union College is part of a long and storied history, and has proved to be an invaluable part of the campus community. As the home of the "Union Triad," we are often recognized as the "Mother of Fraternities." The Greek community at Union is comprised of the Interfraternity Council, the College Panhellenic Council, and the Multicultural Greek Council, together representing 17 chapters. Union's Greek organizations have made countless contributions to the rich history of both the College and the surrounding Schenectady community. Greeks enjoy a remarkable degree of success both in and out of the classroom, and the connections developed within a Greek organization prove to be of the highest importance when networking in life after college
Why Go Greek?
The Greek community at Union is conducive and committed to shaping future leaders through its variety of leadership opportunities. Greeks are an extracurricular presence, as they are involved as leaders in a range of student groups and varsity athletics. Academic success is of the utmost importance not only to the Greek community, but to Union College as a whole. Greeks traditionally experience a high degree of success in the classroom and are held to a high standard with regards to their grade point average. Chapters are ranked within their respective organizations according to grade point average. This average within the Greek community is higher than that of non-affiliated students. Contributions through community service are another founding principle around which Greek organizations are based. Thousands of dollars are raised and countless hours contributed in efforts to create a better community. Participation in intramural sports is just one more facet of the Greek experience. While intramural sports are open to all students, the fiercest competition is generally among Greek organizations. The friendships fostered within each chapter are an unparalleled bond that unites members through similar experiences. Greek life is an excellent way to enhance the broader college experience through camaraderie. Membership means building bonds between members of the Greek community and working towards the mutual goal of a better campus for all. Fraternity and sorority brothers and sisters typically last as life-long friends.
