Greek Life
Marietta College is the home of four fraternities and four sororities.
Alpha Sigma Phi (Delta Colony), Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Tau Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha are national and international fraternities that have local chapters for male students to join. They are governed by an Interfraternity Council, which follows the guidelines of the North-American Interfraternity Conference.
Alpha Xi Delta, Sigma Kappa, and Chi Omega are national and international fraternities and sororities that have local chapters for female students to join. They are governed by Panhellenic Council, which follows the guidelines of the National Panhellenic Conference. Omicron Chi Theta is a local woman's sorority that operates much like a national sorority. Omicron Chi Theta was invited to join the Panhellenic Council in the spring of 2011 and currently enjoys Associate Member status.
