Greek Council History

In the Monday, October 16, 2000 issue of TechNews, the Greek Council President at the time, Pat Wagstrom, was featured in an article on Greek Life. He is a Delt and a Computer Engineering major originally from St. Paul, Minnesota.  His advice to students, "Your classes aren't as important as you think they are. Get involved, don't let classes get in the way of getting involved and doing what you like to do.  Talk to people, find people who have similar interests, and if there are none, start a student organization." His favorite part about Greek Council? "I like helping out the Greek Community as a whole."

IIT named Top 10 College that get Greek Life right!

"IIT is another school where Greek life is different than that of many other schools and doesn’t follow the party-centric stereotype presented by TV and movies. Students at IIT do enjoy socializing, but groups are also highly focused on scholastic achievement, community service projects, and intramural sports. Additionally, Greek groups on campus provide opportunities for members and non-members alike to boost leaderships skills, helping students become leaders in science, technology, engineering, and architecture through special courses and networking events. Some students even report their Greek houses as being excellent places to do homework, study, and get help from their peers."
