[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]80% of kids are in frats.  We just toured and this was the figure given to us straight by admissions.  
My senior son is a party-hard, work hard kid and it one of his dream schools based on who he knows who attends.  They are all heavy partiers.   
He has a twin who is not this way and she is totally turned off.  
I know this isn't everyone at the school (of course!) but it's a culture that flourishes there. [/quote]

They misspoke or you misunderstood. That would 100% of eligible students. Last I saw in writing it was about 60% of Sophomores - Seniors. First years are not allowed to rush. I think that’s about 45% of the student body; 60% of those eligible. Still too high in my opinion but 80% is incorrect. [/quote]

“ Approximately 50% of Dartmouth's students are involved in Greek life, which includes three gender-inclusive chapters, ten sororities, and fourteen fraternities. Considering the fact that students are only allowed to rush starting their second year, this means that approximately 60% or more of eligible Dartmouth students are involved in Greek life to some capacity.”
But I acknowledge this is two years old and things could have risen, especially post-pandemic. Does anyone have a written statistic that separates out whether it includes first years? That would be a big jump to 80% of ELIGIBLE students, but plausible (unlike 80% total, which is not possible), especially with a post-pandemic desire for socialization.
