In 1858, Sigma Alpha Epsilon established the first Greek-letter group on GW’s campus.  Now, 150 years later, GW is home to 34 chapters of fraternities and sororities, with two more recruiting their first groups of members this fall.

With this year marking the 150th anniversary of Greek Life at GW, the university is celebrating a community that is growing in size and momentum.
