 UCSC is home to few fraternities and sororities . The first Greek organization on campus , Theta Chi , was given colony status on January 10 , 1987 and chartered on October 14 , 1989 ( designation : Theta Iota ) . In the beginning , fraternities like Theta Chi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon were met with strong opposition from the student body . Student groups like P.A.C. ( People 's Alternative Community ) , <unk> ( Students Against Greek Environments ) , and M.A.C. ( Men 's Alternative Community ) protested the existence of Greek life at the UCSC campus .
