Greek Life There are about 10 sororities, and about 10 fraternities, that consist of 1200 students The Greek Community strives toward helping you find your place within the Boston University community. Being Greek means more than just wearing Greek letters, attending meetings, and social events. Being in a fraternity/sorority is about making friendships that will last far beyond your college years while enhancing your personal and leadership development. Fraternities and Sororities are founded on specific values that help guide its members through the college years and beyond. Four ideals that all Greek Organizations possess are: leadership, scholarship, philanthropy, and most importantly brother and sisterhood. (Taken from Boston University’s Website)
