Greek Life
What is Greek Life at Hillsdale?
Our Greek system stands apart in the same way that Hillsdale College is different from other educational institutions- it is what the thing is meant to be. Through fraternity and sorority life, students find a community of mutual support as they strive to pursue elevated moral character.
Ultimately, Hillsdale students who join the Greek system are interested in finding pathways to make the most out of their four years. Evidence from alumni involvement affirms that Greek students understand the importance of legacy. Many Greek alumni give back to Hillsdale. They return for Homecoming or dedicate their careers to serving future generations of Hillsdale students.
