Greek is an American comedy-drama television series which follows students of Cyprus-Rhodes University who partake in the school's Greek system. Most of the characters belong to either the fictional fraternities Kappa Tau Gamma (ΚΤΓ) and Omega Chi Delta (ΩΧΔ), or the fictional sororities Zeta Beta Zeta (ΖΒΖ) and Iota Kappa Iota (IKI).
The show airs on the ABC Family network, the UK BBC Three network, the Australian pay-TV network FOX8, the TV2 channel in New Zealand and on Virgin 17 in France. It will begin airing on RTL 5 in Holland.

In April 2007, ABC Family announced plans to begin airing Greek in July of that summer. The series premiered on July 9, 2007. Show creator Patrick Sean Smith began the show as a spec script of a show that he "really wanted to see," noticing a lack of shows in the format centering on college life. Citing "shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Ugly Betty" that "were pushing the envelope comedically in one-hour format," Smith saw the idea working for a younger set.
The first season was halted in September due to the Writers Guild of America strike and returned March 24. On May 1, 2008, ABC Family renewed Greek for a second season, the first episode of which aired August 26, 2008. The series was moved from the Tuesday lineup to Monday. Twelve more episodes were ordered for late spring 2009 and aired from March 30 with Jesse McCartney joining the cast.
On January 31, 2009, it was announced that Greek would return for a third season. Gregory Michael will be joining the cast as "Grant", a new love interest for Calvin. Even Johanna E. Braddy from the 2004 ABC Family movie Pop Rocks also joined the cast as Jordan, for whom Andy falls.
