| Pretty much every school beyond T10. This is the sad reality of American colleges (and to a large degree American society) where non-academic becomes the most important thing in an academic setting. |

I have a DS that just graduated. He had a great experience and we all enjoyed visiting Granville. But I would say no - Denison has a very heavy Athlete presence as well as Frat’s. They are working on it but I think they have a ways to go. |

Syracuse is probably the worst offender with this type of stuff |

| My kid is like OPs. Anyone know about Macalester, Grinnell, Carleton? Do atheletes and frats dominate? |

| I went to WPI in the mid80s and hated the Greek culture so much I transferred out. |

| When we toured Macalester there were no signs of any Greek life. It was a very cozy, international feeling campus. |

MIT lol.
Seriously, more than half of students are in sports or Greek. Perhaps you need to think beyond stereotypes. |
