[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the school and the vibe.

At Cornell, it dominates. At Vanderbilt, it dominates. At Duke, it's off campus, but it dominates social life/culture.

At Northwestern, it's growing. 3 more frats came back over the summer. Too much demand and not enough after the failed Abolish Greek Life movement.

I think social media (all those frat parties with big-name performers and the sorority dance/videos) has had an impact even at the most selective schools.[/quote]

At Cornell it doesn’t dominate. I went to Cornell and my 3 kids went there. 3rd one is now a Freshman. One of them went Greek. Whoever said this know nothing about Cornell.[/quote]

I have a kid at Cornell. For neurotypical, social and gregarious kids, yes it dominates.[/quote]

For kids who fit that description, how hard is it to get into a fraternity or sorority? Are there enough houses and spots to go around for the subset of kids who are interested? When do they rush? [/quote]
