When Beta Theta Pi fraternity arrived on campus in 1845, it began what would become one of the University's strongest traditions. Since then, greek life has been woven into the fabric of the University.
Greek life dominates campus.
Last fall, nearly 73 percent of the student body was greek, according to the Office of Greek Affairs. Professors, however, have a different view of greek life. They see fraternities and sororities interfering with academics. Some even believe the University would be better without rush, paddles and toga parties. For the most part, professors only know what they see in the classroom and what they hear from other professors, students and the media.
