The Greek scene as Dartmouth is also a lot more diverse -- in terms of people who do and don't drink, and do and don't fit conventional sorority or fraternity stereotypes -- than at other scools I saw at the time, where a smaller percentage of the campus was into the Greek scene but did it much more intensely and uniformly if they did.[/quote]

Agree with this as well. I had friends at schools with much more rigid Greek scenes - members only allowed, dress codes, pervasive disgust of those who don't go Greek, rivalry to get into the right house prior to even showing up on campus your very first year, forced study hours so students could keep up the minimum GPA required to stay active, etc.

On the other hand my sorority at Dartmouth graduated Rhodes and Fulbright Scholars during my 3 years in the organization, and has subsequently graduated at least one college valedictorian that I can recall. You can't even join a house until you are a sophomore and it appears they are now going back to a policy that stood when I attended, first year students aren't allowed in Greek houses for their first month or so on campus. Nor are our houses truly residential - only a small fraction of the members actually live in, in some houses it is as few as 15 students living in a house whereas at big Greek schools, all members are required to live in.
