Manhattan College is home to two fraternities and two sororities, something Catholic colleges are not typically known for having. After the last year of being online and assimilating back to being more involved on campus, these Greek life organizations are thriving philanthropically.
The four Greek Life organizations at MC are fraternities Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE) and Alpha Phi Delta (APD), and sororities Sigma Delta Tau (SDT) and Alpha Pi Phi (APP).
“What is really special about our campus is that because there’s not a lot of them [Greek life organizations], everyone is very dedicated to helping better the college and the outside community,” Samantha Keating, sunshine chair of SDT, said.
Keating appreciates that the Greek life on campus is growing so they can then work together as opposed to being rival organizations.
Keating attended a post-Springfest cleanup on April 10, which SDT, DKE and APP organized.
“A couple weeks ago, DKE organized a community cleanup after Springfest,” Keating said. “The two sororities and DKE were able to go all around campus and clean up trash. I think we filled 8 trash bags. You never realize how much trash is there until you clean it up.”
