A bond forms between Greek members into a strong, perpetual friendship.
7. A non-Greek student, Haley Stephenson in an
interview said that, “People in Greek life have
a better idea of their goals and are more
focused. It helps them do volunteer work
and be more active in the community.”
8. Two non-Greek male students
have a different idea of Greeks.

they go to class, getting their
degree is not always their main
priority. The social aspect of
college is what’s most important
to them.

who took the qualitative survey, said that they

something I believe in alongside people who shared
that belief. It gifted me with the opportunity to stand
for something in college other than my major and
social behaviors,” said Johno Oberly, a senior
fraternity member.
14. “I was really home sick
for the first three
weeks of school and
then I rushed and
joined Tri- Delta. It
was one of the best
choices I have made
since being at DU,”

Gruber, originally from
Dallas.
15. Regardless of Greek affiliation or a lack thereof, students at DU feel that
although Greeks and non-Greeks may disagree about who they represent and
how it’s being represented, the majority of them continue to have a blended
group of friends and individual thoughts about Greek Life.
