Greeks Go Green
Greeks Go Green (GGG) is a peer leadership program that empowers student representatives from social and service organizations to engage members of their chapters in sustainable initiatives and practices. GGG was founded in the spring of 2011 as an opportunity for students to become peer educators and leaders within their chapters. Participation has steadily increased, expanding to 34 students representing 20 unique chapters in the Fall 2022 semester.
Each GGG representative is responsible for communicating information about existing sustainability programs and initiatives to their organization, as well as introducing their own. In addition, they act as a liaison for the chapter, sharing best practices, raising concerns, and communicating volunteer and engagement opportunities. GGG representatives also have the opportunity to become “change agents;” those who take on this role form a core team of allies within their chapter and develop their own behavior change initiatives to implement among their peers.
Each Greek organization at Wake embodies its own set of values, and individual representatives help illustrate the direct connection between those values and sustainable practices within their chapters, furthering sustainability as a social norm on campus.
If your chapter is not currently participating and you would like to get involved, please email sustainability@wfu.edu.

“My love for the outdoors and the environment, as well as my want to instill a change within my chapter and other chapters campus-wide were the main reasons I chose to be a Greeks Go Green Change Agent. Sustainability and the broader battle against climate change all have to begin on the individual level, and there’s no better place to start trying to influence that shift than within my own brotherhood!”

“I decided to become a Change Agent because spreading awareness of environmental issues is very important to me. As well as this, I believe our campus can definitely be better at practicing sustainability. To do that, people first need to be educated and aware of the pressing problems our earth is facing. For Chi Omega, I love my chapter, our sisterhood, and our philanthropy. I think we all can strive to become more sustainable; this is a goal every sister will take on seriously.”

“I want to become a change agent or a rep because I want to surround myself with like-minded people. I have a lot of aspirations as to what I want to change within my chapter and getting support from peers and from people in the office of sustainability will definitely help. My passion to make an impact doesn’t lie solely within my chapter, but I definitely see lots of room for improvement among members and I think this position is a great place to start.”
