About Greek Life at Babson
Joining a fraternity or sorority is a lifetime commitment.
Members of these organizations share bonds of friendship, leadership, and the pursuit of academic excellence that last well beyond the college experience. Each fraternity and sorority has its own unique values and traditions, and we encourage you to learn more about each chapter to find the best fit for you.
Explore all of your options and discuss with those close to you the possibility of involvement in a Greek organization. You may even want to visit with chapter members or alumni to get an idea of what Greek Life at Babson College entails. To join a Greek organization at Babson, you must participate in a formal recruitment process. This experience is meant to facilitate a mutual selection between the potential new member and the chapter while protecting all participants’ privacy and providing guidance throughout the decision making process. During this time, potential new members have the opportunity to meet with all the chapters on campus in order to make an informed decision about which chapter they would like to join.
The Greek governing councils, chapter presidents, current members, and advisers are excited about your interest in our community and are always available to answer any questions you might have.
