Greek Life
Go Greek at Tiffin University
Greek life at Tiffin University has increased in both the number of individuals who pledge and also in the number of organizations. There are currently two fraternities and three sororities, each adding their unique attributes, causes, and events to campus life. Each organization is required to participate in community service as well as host campus events and fundraisers, with many of these events becoming popular traditions at TU.
