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

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

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]

How exactly do off-campus organizations dominate school social life and culture? Especially at a school as large as Duke? Not trying to start an argument - I literally don’t understand how that works.

Let’s say 20% if kids go to off-campus Greek parties on weekends. Aren’t there other social activities and options on campus for everyone else. What do the non-Greek kids do for fun? They can’t all be pining for invites to off-campus frat parties, can they? [/quote]

Pp is wrong about Duke. Nongreek is common and there is still plenty to do. There are concerts and parties on campus that are not greek[/quote]

I think you need to describe the kids that are not Greek and what they are doing socially 3 nights a week.

Are the Greek organizations at Duke still predominantly white?
