The Best (Post 3)

This weeks blog post features a particular school. According to bestcollegereviews.org, Washington and Lee University is the number one greek life school in the US. No, this doesn't mean number one partying greek campus. It means they're best known for having most involvement. Washington and Lee University has lots of history due to it being founded in 1749 and named after our former president George Washington. This school is located in Virginia and is the 9th oldest institution. At this University there are 13 fraternities and 8 sororities. Greek life on this campus sponsors over 26 community service activities. 62% of the school is involved in greek life and they have only had 22 criminal offenses and those were between the years of 2011-2013. Having all these things makes Washington and Lee University the top greek life school!

Greek (Post 2)

There are over 5,500 greek life chapters in the US. To start small, I want to inform you about the greek life chapters we have here at Washburn. We have 5 fraternities here on campus along with 3 sororities. (Hopefully adding another sorority into the mix soon!) Most of the sororities right now have their house close to maximum full if not completely full. Fraternities are always adding! At Washburn the greek life system tends to be a different atmosphere then a typical D1 school. The chapters here are very family orientated and everyone knows everyones name. I think knowing everyone's name is something special that you can't usually get at a bigger school in sororities. This does not happen at D1 school due to their being over 200 people in the chapter. Overall, I think Washburn has a great greek life system.
