Greek Life
Since 1863, Pacific University has been home to several Greek organizations. Greek Life at Pacific University is made up of local sororities, fraternities, and a diaternity which are governed by the Greek Senate. The four pillars of Greek Life are scholarship, friendship, service, and leadership. It is through these pillars that we work to embrace our members, the campus and extended community.
