Existence of Sororities in Harvard

Hey guys, I'm really into sorority life and looking at potential colleges. Does anyone know if Harvard has sororities and what the greek life is like there?

Harvard University does have Greek life, including sororities. However, it's important to note that Harvard's administration has taken some steps to discourage participation in single-gender social clubs, including fraternities and sororities, over the past few years. In recent history, Harvard introduced a policy that any member of an unrecognized single-sex social organization is ineligible for leadership positions on university-recognized clubs and cannot receive an official endorsement from the college for prestigious fellowships like the Rhodes and Marshall scholarships. However, in 2020, Harvard agreed to rescind these sanctions following a series of legal battles.

That being said, there are still unofficial Greek life organizations on campus that do not have formal recognition from the university, which includes several sororities. Being unofficial means these organizations can't use university resources or participate in university events as a group. Yet, they still find ways to continue their activities and members can have a unique and enriching experience.

In essence, if joining a sorority is a priority of yours, the scene is different at Harvard compared to schools where Greek life plays a more central role to the university's social scene. It's a good idea to explore other aspects of social life at Harvard too, including House life, student organizations, and traditions, which may offer a stronger social network.
