How big is Greek at SU?

Hi everyone! I haven’t been accepted yet, but Syracuse is definitely one of my top choices! I know that only about 20% or something of kids participate in Greek life, but I was wondering how big of a presence it actually is on campus? Like is it a big deal or is it just like some kids participate and that’s cool? Thanks in advance for any insight!

@CathJR well syracuse was once the #1 party school in 2014 I think. Also from what I’ve heard there is a good party scene there. You can check out their shmacked video on youtube

@caasse I’m aware of this and I’ve seen the video, but having a lot of parties does not always correlate with greek life. It definitely can, but not always. I just want a sense of what it’s like whether you participate or not on campus.

coming from a current student, i can’t believe it is only 20% of students. it seems like almost every person i meet is involved, huge presence on campus. great greek organization here.
