What Does It Mean to Be Greek at UCF?

It would be impossible to discuss the history and the traditions of the University of Central Florida without discussing the Greek Community on campus. Fraternities and sororities, in fact, have been around almost since the start of classes in the late '60s.

Right now, obviously, the goings-on of the Greek Community are well-publicized. The Central Florida Future covers their every major event, and each fraternity and sorority has a web site filled with news, event listings, accomplishments, etc. It's easy to learn how many members each group has, and what their goals, values, and missions are.

But I want to know more about how each fraternity and sorority was founded at UCF. I want to know about the early days, the years before Greek housing, the years when the "Greek Ghetto" across the street from campus was, actually, the only Greek Row around. I want to know about the struggle to build a Greek Row, the first years of occupancy, the early traditions...In short, I want this book to be able to document how important Greek Life has been to the University of Central Florida, and I need the help of those students, faculty, and administrators who were a part of that history.

If you've got stories, pictures, or would like to chat at all, please contact me as soon as possible. As I said, I can't tell the story of UCF without telling the story of Greek Life.
