Student Life supports the mission of Marietta College through services and programs that promote the comprehensive development of students, by providing opportunities that enhance the academic experience and building a community that cultivates intellectual curiosity, ethical reasoning, critical thinking, cultural competency, and responsible citizenship.

Campus Involvement

The Office of Campus Involvement is the central hub for extra- and co-curricular student involvement, campus events, and programs on the Marietta College campus. We believe that involvement during your college career is closely tied with personal and professional success, increased self-awareness, confidence, and self-expression. Starting with PioSOAR (Student Orientation and Academic Registration), there are many ways to get involved on campus. We have an active Greek community and over 80 registered student organizations. The Pioneer Activities Council (PAC) sponsors weekly programs ranging from movies to laser tag. PAC also plans and implements Family Weekend, Spirit Week, and Homecoming activities.

Community Standards, Rights, and Responsibilities

Marietta College strives to ensure that all students are educated on the community standards, rights, and responsibilities that all members of the Marietta College community are both afforded and expected to uphold. The role of the Office of Community Standards, Rights, and Responsibilities is both to provide that education to all community members, as well as resolve allegations of misconduct under Marietta College’s Student Code of Conduct. The Office is committed to ensuring that all students receive a fair process, are educated in their rights and responsibilities in the process, and are treated with respect by all staff members.

Student Organizations

There are over fifty (50) student organizations (and increasing each year) at Marietta College.

Organizations at Marietta College fall into one of the following categories: Academic, Athletics & Recreation, Campus Life, Cultural, Political, Religious, and Service. Five students that share a common interest and a faculty/staff advisor are all you need to begin. The next step is to make an appointment to meet with one of the staff members of the Office of Campus Involvement.

Fraternities & Sororities

Currently there are seven (7) social Greek Letter Organizations on campus. The two governing bodies that provide leadership to the Greek community are the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council.

  • Fraternities: Alpha Sigma Phi (AΣΦ), Alpha Tau Omega (ΑΤΩ), Delta Tau Delta (ΔΤΔ), and Lambda Chi Alpha (ΛΧΑ)
  • Sororities: Alpha Xi Delta (ΑΞΔ), Chi Omega (ΧΩ), and Sigma Kappa (ΣΚ)

Community Living

The Office of Community Living assists with the concerns of students living on-campus and offers support to students in a number of areas. These areas include advising students, offering educational and social programming, assisting with roommate and personal problems, and dealing with maintenance issues within the residence halls. The Office of Community Living is made up of students and professionals who have been trained to provide a community environment in which a Marietta College student can grow and succeed personally and academically.
