University of Vermont (UVM) |
Yea. Right. And that's why recommendation so far range from Michigan State to NYU. |
Any Big 10 school |
Schools in the Northeast would fit the bill more, but usually underacheivers sports wise. At my school's, kids where more into pro sports and partying at the bars and clubs or off campus apartments, no frats at all. |
Any large public university in a suburban-to-urban setting that caters to working-class/first generation students would fit the bill. UMBC, Towson, George Mason, Temple, Wayne State, University of Houston, etc. |
Ohio State, Penn State |
Ohio University. Actually a lot of Midwestern schools fit the bill. There’s generally not as much emphasis on Greek life as the center of social life as there would be at many Southern schools. |
Both responses would be helpful to OP. What's the issue? |
The Common Data Set is your friend |
NC State has a Greek participation rate of under 10%. |
Sorry, but this cannot stand. Basketball was invented in Springfield, Massachusetts. Its creator, Dr. James Naismith, later coached at the University of Kansas. But even he agreed that basketball "really had its origin in Indiana." |
+1 Ohio State. |
Agreed, my oldest went to a school with a massive Greek system and set foot in a house 4 times because their favorite holiday was Halloween and this particular house through a great party. Managed to have a great social life in the plethora of academic and outdoor clubs and "establishments" in town. Now in grad school untarnished by the evil Greek stain I guess all of the big Greek fear mongers panic about, it's really quite odd. A well adjusted social kid should have no issue at a large University, there is always something for everyone. |
Believe it or not, Texas A&M had a big pushback against Greek life while I was there (albeit 30 years ago!).
A popular t-shirt on campus was "Rent a friend...Join a frat". Sorority girls were referred to a "bow-heads". I don't know if it's still this way, but 12% of students are involved in Greek life. It's a big school, so that's still a lot of people. |
