Greek Life at St. John’s is built upon the premise that Greek
organizations enhance the educational mission of the University and
enhance the quality of life for students by providing a range of
opportunities for meaningful individual involvement and growth.
Fraternities and Sororities have been an integral part of the St.
John's University community since 1956.
During your son or daughter’s time here at St. John's University,
he/she may make the decision to join a Greek organization. If they
do, you should be proud of them and aware of the following:
- The All Greek GPA is higher than the overall collegiate
GPA
- 85% of the Fortune 500 key executives are Greek
- All but two Presidents since 1825 have been Greek
- Both women elected to the U.S. Supreme Court were sorority
members
Greek organizations hold their members to high social and
academic standards. There are minimum GPAs and other campus
involvement requirements in order to join them. If your son or
daughter is interested in joining a Greek organization, please
encourage it and have them stop into the Greek Life Office. If you
have any questions, feel free to contact us:
