ABOUT US:

ARIZONA STATE GREEK LIFE'S FIRST SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE

Green Greeks is a student led organization whose goal is to establish sustainable solutions for Arizona State greek life. Made up of 8 council members and 20 representatives from each IFC Fraternity and Panhellenic Sorority living within the Greek Leadership Village; Green Greeks has incredibly high hopes for it’s first year on campus.


Established in May of 2018, Green Greeks is relatively new and still looking for areas to improve our impact. Green Greeks has identified various areas for focus within the Arizona State community for the 2019-2020 academic year, and will attempt to tackle them through various special projects, educational events, and extensive self monitoring within the Greek Leadership Village.
