Something like 12 or 13% of students are involved in fraternities, and all of my greek friends love to point out that 80% of leadership positions on campus are held by greeks. I’m not sure how accurate that 80% statistic is, though, and I would actually imagine it to be closer to 30 or 40%. There’s lots of different types of frats with different interests, with some as development-oriented as the business fraternity, some as community oriented as the jewish fraternity, and others as diverse as the new gay fraternity. I don’t know as much about sororities, but there are 19 fraternities on campus and 13 sororities.

Those people who are in frats/sororities are really into it. You can always see some fraternity or sorority in the UC breezeway raising money for some sort of cause. One of our fraternities, Sigma Chi, actually has been raising money for the past semester for one of their brothers who developed jaw cancer.

If you have any more specific questions, I can ask one of my greek friends about it. Otherwise, I hope this info helped :)
