Greek life can be an enriching experience where you build networks and socialize. Also, they can be great groups for classroom support and study groups. Whatever your major is, there is probably someone else in that fraternity that has the same one and is willing to help.
The best approach to Greek life is to keep an open mind. Vanderbilt’s deferred rush allows you acclimate to college life at a comfortable pace. Try the Greek scene, if you don’t like it, there are plenty of other ways to socialize and spend your time. But you’ll never know if you don’t try it out!

I was accepted EDII to Vandy for class of 2015 and I’m soo excited!!
I definitely plan on joining one of the panhellenic sororities – when you rush and they see your gpa, does this also include seeing your high school gpa? if so, since my highschool does not provide a gpa, then what? Thanks!

Sara: They only look at your first semester GPA when you rush.

Try rush or recruiting at any other school and most men and women would see they are top. Remember that this is why all are at school and Commodores! That been said, you make your house whether SX, LXA, Beta, or any sorority. It is tough but if you are Greek or opt for some other club, you are of the elite people chosen to be Commodres. P.S. many thanks to all houses and Greek life leaders.

That's why I went to their site to look it up. The undergraduate program I attended was the same way, but there are many colleges that have the Greek system as an officially sponsored system on campus. Even on their site, they say that they do indeed have some Greek houses on campus. Greek Life at Vanderbilt | The Vandy Admissions Blog | Vanderbilt University […]
