University of Evansville - UE Greek Life Reviews

If we’re being fair, UE’s Greek life is like a 4/10. It exists, but just barely. With only three sororities left and way more fraternities, it’s completely lopsided. There’s little diversity in options for girls, barely any energy around recruitment, and overall involvement feels low. The school doesn’t seem to invest in keeping chapters alive either, Phi Mu dropping just proved that. Compared to other schools, especially USI, it’s clear UE’s Greek scene is struggling and needs serious rebuilding. On top of the imbalance, the vibe around Greek life at UE feels stale. There’s not much excitement around events anymore, and the few sororities left are stretched thin trying to keep the community alive. It’s like the spirit is there, but the structure is falling apart. Frats still throw down and recruit hard, but without a strong sorority presence to balance it out, everything feels one-sided and kind of off. It’s frustrating because there’s potential. UE is small enough that Greek life should feel close-knit and meaningful. But instead, it comes off as cliquey, underfunded, and mostly ignored by administration. If the school doesn’t step in to support growth, especially for the sororities, Greek life might fade out completely. Right now, it’s hanging by a thread and for a school that once prided itself on tight community, that’s a bad look.

I highly enjoy Greek Life on this campus, and would recommend rushing to almost anyone who can. Every fraternity and sorority has a place for someone on campus. Easily top notch brotherhood in the case of fraternities, and decent sisterhood in sororities. However, I feel as if the University itself can do more justice for Greek Life by making improvements to the quality of life for its Greek community (and really the community as a whole, but we won't talk about that for this). For example, look at Tau Kappa Epsilon's house. Judging from how they've been doing at rush last semester, it looks like a majority of brothers do not get the option to live in the house because of how small it is. Some of the utilities in the houses are limited, or just don't work. And the sorority suites are very small and crowded. Overall, great people, but in need of more support from the University before it can be totally top tier.

UE is a very small school with a high greek life involvement. The sororities do not have their own houses, and the guys houses are starting to become out dated and unattractvie. While I was rushing and the house I chose, I was never hazed or forced to consume alcohol. Among my fraternity hazing is not an issue.

If you are not in greek life, it will be a long four years.

Greeks only make up a 30% of our campus but it always seems like a lot more. The parties are extremely underrated and very fun.
