  "Greeks of UMBC had the chance to share and recognize how they have transformed many of their goals into real accomplishments. Susan Dumont, Coordinator of Student Life for Fraternities and Sororities, hosted a Greek town hall meeting last week that presented some of the positive aspects of UMBC's fraternities and sororities."

  A Look at UMBC's Greek Community "A person's arrival to a university is a life-changing experience, with college offering students endless amounts of clubs and organizations in which to immerse themselves. One potential solution for students wanting to get involved while at UMBC is the Greek life system. Collectively, there are nineteen Greek associations on campus; for the men, there are the fraternities, and for the women, the sororities. And while Greek life has attracted some stereotypes, especially from the movies, brothers and sisters are keen to promote the positive activities that go on among their associations." - Ingelby

• Elected SGA President Reportedly Promised Greek Council
  Sep 1968

  From The Retriever Weekly, Volume 3, Number 1 Promise #1: Establish a fraternity and sorority council on campus -- The constitutionality of such an action is now being discussed in the Senate. Based on this and other details from very early newspapers, it appears there may have been at least one local fraternity as early as 1967.
