Georgetown Frat Life

That’s not entirely true guys. Frats don’t play a large role on campus at all, but they certainly do exist, and one–APO, the co-ed community service frat–is officially recognized by the university. I’m not involved in Greek life at all, but I have a good number of friends in APO and they love it. APO has a decent presence on campus, a relatively large number of active members, and does a lot of cool projects–as for connections, Bill Clinton is an alum…but I wouldn’t join for the connections. We do have SAE and one other business frat that I can’t remember the name of, and one new sorority along with the national latin@ sorority LCP. If you want to get involved, you’ll normally find out about them through friends/clubs/events that they hold on campus, as there’s no real rushing season or advertising on campus (apart from APO, but it’s not major).

Joining a frat is a great way to make close friends and build a network at Georgetown, and I know that my APO friends have met a lot of cool alumni who regularly come back to campus for events, but being in a Gtown frat doesn’t confer the same amount of prestige that it would on other campuses…joining one of the big clubs on campus or doing student gov’t is probably the best way to build connections here, as is just going out and taking advantage of all the internships and opportunities in DC.
