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:
“I lately met with an old volume from a London bookshop, containing the Greek Minor Poets, and it was a pleasure to read once more only the words Orpheus, Linus, Musæus,—those faint poetic sounds and echoes of a name, dying away on the ears of us modern men; and those hardly more substantial sounds, Mimnermus, Ibycus, Alcæus, Stesichorus, Menander. They lived not in vain. We can converse with these bodiless fames without reserve or personality.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The Indians knew that life was equated with the earth and its resources, that America was a paradise, and they could not comprehend why the intruders from the East were determined to destroy all that was Indian as well as America itself.”
—Dee Brown (b. 1908)
