[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washington University does have a lot of participation in GLOS (32%), but there is a vibrant campus culture outside of GLOS.  WUSTL is in the center of the city, near a lot of interesting things to do and there is a lot of other stuff going on at WUSTL.  None of the sororities have houses and that keeps pretty  much all of the freshmen and most of the sophomores (Greek or not) living in and around campus and on the South 40.  The South 40 is the dorm/suite area and it's pretty fabulous.  The school owns a ton of apartments in and around campus and is building new housing in the Loop, a few blocks from campus. (I have mixed feelings about this as a native. It feels a little bit like WUSTL is taking over the Loop.)

BTW,  I would say that while sororities at WUSTL are thriving, fraternities are not. They've had problems with drugs and the school has pretty much told them to shape up or ship out. A couple have been kicked off and if the others don't fall in line, they will go, too. Per the WUSTL Greek Life office, "We are perfectly comfortable having no male Greek organizations on campus if that's what it takes. We are not going to tolerate this kind of behavior."[/quote]

All those sororities sound horrible.  Sorority culture can definitely be exclusionary and incompatible with academic excellence. [/quote]
