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.

Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or life:
“With astonishment Aschenbach noticed that the boy was entirely beautiful. His countenance, pale and gracefully reserved, was surrounded by ringlets of honey-colored hair, and with its straight nose, its enchanting mouth, its expression of sweet and divine gravity, it recalled Greek sculpture of the noblest period.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“As the twentieth century ends, commerce and culture are coming closer together. The distinction between life and art has been eroded by fifty years of enhanced communications, ever-improving reproduction technologies and increasing wealth.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
