===Greek life=== {{main|DePauw University Greek organizations}} {{see also|DePauw University Delta Zeta discrimination controversy}} DePauw's Greek system began just eight years after the founding of Indiana Asbury College in 1837. Several chapters were founded in the 19th century. Women were first admitted to Indiana Asbury in 1867, and the first Greek-letter fraternity for women soon followed. Just under 70% of students at DePauw are affiliated with a Greek-letter organization.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.depauw.edu/studentacademiclife/greek/gogreek/ |title=Go Greek |website=DePauw University |access-date=November 26, 2018 |archive-date=November 27, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181127022623/https://www.depauw.edu/studentacademiclife/greek/gogreek/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The Greek community consists of more than a dozen national social fraternities and approximately ten sororities. Some Greek-letter organizations were founded at DePauw. In 2006, the [[Delta Zeta]] sorority chapter at DePauw University became embroiled in controversy for deactivating certain members based on their perceived attractiveness. The controversy made national headlines, resulting in the chapter's closing and various legal actions.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/25/education/25sorority.html |title=Sorority Evictions Raise Issue of Looks and Bias |author=Sam Dillon |work=The New York Times |date=February 25, 2007 |access-date=February 25, 2007 |archive-date=January 19, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170119215824/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/25/education/25sorority.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/12/AR2007031200384.html |title=DePauw Cuts Ties With Troubled Sorority |author=KEITH ROBINSON, Associated Press |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=March 12, 2007 |access-date=March 12, 2007 |archive-date=October 2, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171002022812/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/12/AR2007031200384.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
