UW Green Greeks

The University of Washington as an institution is a leader in sustainability. Yet prior to the Green Greek Representative Group, the Greek Community, housing over 15% of the undergraduate population in 50 residential chapter houses, had not been wholeheartedly engaged in campus sustainability efforts. This lack of engagement resulted in huge amounts of waste, high utility costs, and many missed opportunities to take action and create change, especially in a community full of resources and leaders. The EcoReps GGRP was developed as an outgrowth of an existing Green Greek program to address this critical gap. Ultimately, we strive to further sustainability and climate action by taking action within our very own community.
