Celebrating 150: Greek Life

For more than 100 years, Greek organizations have been a part of University history. Many Greek organizations on campus started off as educational fraternities. Social fraternities were not recognized prior to 1914. Several of the current fraternities and sororities began as local organizations before being reorganized to their current affiliations.
 
Truman boasts 22 Greek organizations on campus. Approximately 18 percent of women and 22 percent of men are active in the Greek community. Greeks can be seen around campus participating in philanthropy, homecoming and Greek week events. Today, Greek Life at Truman is known for its four values of scholarship, leadership, integrity and commitment.
