[quote=Anonymous]I also went to Dartmouth years ago and was Greek, I’m married to a Dartmouth non-Greek. My spouse had friends and was heavily involved in a sport. We rarely went to parties after we got together, though we would attend my formals and I lived in for junior and senior years. I’m still heavily involved on campus, speak to tons of current students, and spend several weeks on campus per year for various committees on which I serve. My impression from the students is that not participating is even easier these days and the number of eligible students in houses has decreased since I attended (freshmen are not eligible to join and are banned entirely from frats for most of their fall term). I believe the percent of eligible students joining is now around 60%. It was in the mid to high 70s when I attended. The system is also non-residential in that the houses are small and most house a total of 30 students or less per house allowing members a lot of control over how active/inactive they wish to be. It’s a very different system than the schools with sleeping decks, required study hours, cooks on site, etc. although I was involved, I never considered it my entire identity and I did tons of other things on campus  including working, tour guiding, volunteering, that were not at all affiliated with my house.[/quote]
