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

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

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]

I have experience with all 4 schools listed here presently (my own kids, relatives, and very close friends' kids attend) and can attest to the fall frenzy for Greek life for all of the kids. Yes, both the freshmen males and females want to attend the parties. The females have the easiest time all around. Males are stressed about wristbands/invites every week. It's demoralizing for them at all four of these schools presently, where dirty rush abounds.

Now all of our kids attended private (feeder) HS and are probably looking for something similar in a college experience (going to parties, bars, drinking, socializing, work hard/play hard). I am sure it all works out, but Greek life culture at each of these schools is probably more alike than people think.

None of the kids is CS or eng or pre-med if that makes a difference to you. [/quote]

This is kind of a hilarious post.  So yeah, all the kids I know partied hard in high school, which is totally normal bruh.  And of course that's what they're doing in college because what else is there to do?!  Oh and yeah not any loser majors.  Don't know what those nerds are doing.

Sounds rough out there to be a partying rich kid.  Real stressful to get those invites.[/quote]
