The fraternities, which have individual chapter houses owned by alumni corporations on or near campus, offer an alternative living option to their members. The sororities do not have houses, but each has a chapter room in the Ice House Complex, which serves as a meeting and socializing place for the group. In addition to providing a social outlet for their members, Gettysburg College's fraternities and sororities serve the campus and community with philanthropic activities. The goals of the system are to instill in its members the qualities of good citizenship, scholarship, service, and repect for oneself and others. Beginning in the Fall of 2001, a Gettysburg College student must be of sophomore standing to join a Greek organization.
Some organizations require a higher GPA for membership.
