Greek Life
Alma College is home to six social men's fraternities, five social women's sororities, and numerous honorary and professional fraternities. The six fraternities are Sigma Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Theta Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, and Zeta Sigma (Alma's local fraternity). The social sororities at Alma are Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Xi Delta, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Iota (Alma's local sorority), and Phi Sigma Sigma.
Other organizations include Sigma Alpha Iota, the women's music fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, the co-ed National Service Fraternity—one of the largest organizations on campus, and a women's Christian sorority, Sigma Alpha Omega, which was formed in the Winter Term of 2006. These are not social Greek organizations and are not under jurisdiction of the Greek Judicial, the Inter-Fraternal Council (IFC), or the PanHellenic Council.

Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or life:
“The poets were not alone in sanctioning myths, for long before the poets the states and the lawmakers had sanctioned them as a useful expedient.... They needed to control the people by superstitious fears, and these cannot be aroused without myths and marvels.”
—Strabo (c. 58 B.C.–c. 24 A.D., Greek geographer. Geographia, bk. 1, sct. 2, subsct. 8.
“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
