But don't Amherst and Williams have underground frats and societies? I know Wesleyan does.

Not really. Amherst has cracked down on fraternities pretty ruthlessly in recent years (including outright abolishing them in 2014- lots of articles on the matter). Opinions from students and alums are mixed, but on the whole negative because those groups were what gave Amherst its social life (their parties were open to all students regardless of involvement). In exchange, Amherst built the PowerHouse as the social hub of the college.

There is an athlete divide though- non-athletes and athletes don't really intermingle.

Missing the annual piano burning?

It's the social division that worries her. She's not an athlete and she has no desire to join a sorority, so she wants a very socially inclusive atmosphere.

She doesn't sound ready for college. That's not how college works. She needs to find her crowd in the group. and that what Greek life is great for.

Hmm. Funny, because I'd usually say that people who need to rely on greek life aren't ready for college.

+1 --"Greek life" = paying for friends

Actually, I chose a college that didn't have fraternities or sororities. Sorry your assumption was wrong here, though it does show how pleasant and open-minded "Greeks" are.

Yep, just like you who said people joining fraternities are basically buying their friends. Just like all the other campus clubs out there that require dues.
