[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS will be attending in the fall, but is unsure if he wants to join a fraternity. He is very social and concerned that he won't be able to attend parties without being part of one. This seems unlikely to me, but honestly I have no idea.

Anyone with a current Wolverine who can share their experience? [/quote]

It’s only about 15% of the undergrad population. It’s a huge school. He’ll be fine.

Make sure he gets football student tickets. That’s the bigger social thing. [/quote]

It's misleading to say that just because only 15% of the kids participate in Greek life, that the other 85% don't care about attending Greek parties.

For some schools that may be correct...for others it's not correct at all if Greek life is a dominant factor in the overall social scene.

Now, I get that 50% of the school may have zero interest in going to greek parties or going trying to get into bars/clubs in Ann Arbor...but if that's important to your kid and Michigan Frats are invite-only (unlike UGA where nearly anyone can just go to a Frat party), then you need to look beyond simply what %age of the school are actual members.[/quote]

Things might have changed, but when I went, it really didn’t matter if you were Greek or not. Plenty of opportunities to socialize and go to parties without having to go to frat or sorority parties.
