Like a lot of articles about schools in WP, this one is full of ]. i have tagged it as such. Huge swaths of this are sourced only from the website of the school... lots of praise, nothing negative, etc. Run of the mill stuff. Needs to be cleaned up. ] (]) 21:08, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

The following is unsourced and was moved here per ]. Per ] please do not restore without finding independent, reliable sources, checking the content against them, and citing them, and ensuring that this content has appropriate ] in the article overall.

;Greek life
The university has had a long history of ] dating back to its founding. The local chapter that started Greek life on Hofstra's campus, Alpha Theta Beta (ΑΘΒ), is still active today. In the early 1990s, as Hofstra began to grow so did its social organizations. Many national chartered chapters were founded in 1989, including ]. One of the local chapters, the Wreath and Foil sorority, founded in 1937, became ]. One of the more notable changes in the 1990s was the removal of many local chapters and growth of nationally chartered fraternities, such as ], ], ], and a business fraternity, ] (1989). ] and ] are the oldest fraternities on campus, both arriving in 1969. The ] sorority is the oldest nationally recognized sorority on campus, founded in 1872.

Overall Greek-lettered organizations contribute to much of the philanthropy on campus, well as much of the school spirit. During events like Homecoming parades, students and alumni notice a majority of Greek-lettered floats. And the ] celebration, a fifteen-year-old tradition of a holiday village built and constructed annually by members of the Greek lettered community for local children to play in and around during the December holiday season. One of its largest events, Greek Week held in the Spring semester, is a week long series of events of competition. Mainly sports, well as toga skits, banner competitions, a can castle, for local homeless shelters, and a relay race the community generates a lot of attention. The Greek-Lettered community is often noted for maintaining many traditions, and loyalty towards their alma mater. In addition, these organizations are noted for creating much of the social life on and off campus.

Since 2001, when the newest President of the University took office three additional social organizations have colonized and chartered chapters on campus: the ] fraternity, the ] fraternity, and the ] fraternity. The ] fraternity applied successfully for colonization in the Spring 2010 semester. The ] fraternity applied successfully for re-colonization in the Spring 2010 Semester. The ] fraternity applied successfully for colonization in the Spring 2015 semester. The ] fraternity applied successfully for colonization in the Spring 2016 semester. Three social organizations, the ] sorority, the ] fraternity, and the ] fraternity, remain inactive.
