Southwestern hosts several national social fraternities and sororities, including the fraternities Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Kappa Sigma, and Kappa Alpha Order, along with sororities Alpha Delta Pi, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Xi Delta, and Zeta Tau Alpha. Over the past couple decades, the Greek dominance of social life has lessened, with about 1/3 of campus belonging to a social fraternity or sorority, a decline from being a majority of students. There are also over 100 student organizations on campus, from political to special interest groups. The school also hosts chapters of several academic honor organizations, including Alpha Chi, and Phi Beta Kappa. The national co-ed service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega also has a chapter.
