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:
“Make room, Roman writers, make room for Greek writers; something greater than the Iliad is born.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
“We are conscious of an animal in us, which awakens in proportion as our higher nature slumbers. It is reptile and sensual, and perhaps cannot be wholly expelled; like the worms which, even in life and health, occupy our bodies. Possibly we may withdraw from it, but never change its nature. I fear that it may enjoy a certain health of its own; that we may be well, yet not pure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
