Greek Life at Northeastern

Phi Delta Theta is proud to be one of the many chapters that make up Northeastern University Fraternity and Sorority Life. Fraternal and Sorority Life at Northeastern is comprised of 27 chapters and four governing councils, the Interfraternity Council (IFC), Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), and Panhellenic Council. Each council oversees its respective chapters and assists in programming, recruitment, and standards. The Phi Delta Theta Massachusetts Epsilon Chapter is one of the newest additions to the IFC's eight fraternities.

During the year, fraternities and sororities alike put on and participate in major programs for Northeastern students. These include Homecoming Week, Greek Week, various philanthropy events, comedians, and speakers. As a unit, Fraternal and Sorority Life is the largest and most influential student group on campus. Not only are brothers and sisters involved in their respective chapters, but also in other student organizations such as the Student Government Association (SGA), the Council for University Programs (CUP), and the Resident Student Association (RSA).

At the end of the day, fraternity life is a great way to make friends, build character, and give back to the Northeastern and Boston communities. Fraternities offer the opportunity to come in contact with new people who share similar interests and values. Through strong friendships and common goals, fraternities bring out the best in their members.

 

Should I Rush a Fraternity?

Choosing whether or not to rush a fraternity is probably one of the biggest decisions a college man will make. Fraternal organizations are one of the oldest traditions associated with higher education in the United States and have always existed to serve the needs of their undergraduate members. Fraternities are social, academic, and service organizations and serve to provide a complete and well-rounded college experience to the individual. Unlike other campus organizations, membership in a fraternity is a lifelong bond, one that extends far beyond the college years.
