Creating Pathways into Greek Life for Students with Intellectual Disability

As students with intellectual disability have been increasingly pursuing postsecondary education, they have also been increasingly pursuing inclusion in all aspects of postsecondary education, including Greek life. Students with intellectual disability should have access to Greek Life, using the same processes students without disability use to access these programs. This requires students and their supporters to embrace the dignity of risk. This Insight Brief, written by authors who had experience with inclusive Greek life at their colleges and universities, describes the potential opportunities and risks for students with intellectual disability. Additionally they provide guidance for working with staff across campus, explanations of Greek life organizations, and real-life stories.
