What is a fraternity?

Fraternity - From the Latin word, "frater," which means, "brother," a fraternity is a formal organization created around a set of core values and traditions. The most common connotation of a fraternity is a social fraternity, which are almost always exclusively male (their co-ed counterpart being sororities). Fraternities can also be established based upon ethnicity, scholarship and honors, or public service.

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."
