Greek Life offers students the opportunity to enhance their Newberry College experience through the unique opportunities offered by participating in fraternity and sorority activities. Fraternities and sororities promote scholarship, provide leadership opportunities, build lasting friendships, encourage community service and philanthropy and allow for social and athletic opportunities.

The Office of Greek Life currently advises 8 fraternities and sororities, and strives to enhance the student experience as member of the Greek community while providing programs to enhance leadership development, community service involvement and academic excellence. Each organization is governed by their respective councils: IFC, NPC and NPHC .

Each fall, the Office of Greek Life host a ' Meet the Greek Night' on campus, which offers an opportunity for students to learn more about each of the collegiate chapters. Also, each fraternity and sorority will have several programs (socials & community service) open to the campus prior to recruitment week to gather interest in Greek Life at Newberry.

Students who are interested in joining a fraternity and sorority will participate in a process called Recruitment. Recruitment involves six of the collegiate chapters, lasts one week and occurs during the fall semester. If you are interested in joining one of the NPHC fraternities, that process is called Membership Intake . The intake process is different than Recruitment and actually begins with informational meetings that occur in the fall and spring semesters.
