The Office of Greek Life has started a history project to better understand our 185+ years of Greek Life at CWRU. As we find more information, it will be added to the decade sections below. We are also looking back at Greek Life award winners from Giortaste.
If you have any information about Greek Life's or chapters' history, email greeklife@case.edu.
