[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know freshman boys struggling a little with the frat stuff at Duke, UChicago, Vandy and [b]Georgetown[/b]. either going through the process and just being bogged down by pledge bullshit and academics suffering. or deciding to skip it and feeling out of the loop.

I know freshman at Yale and ND who are super happy.

also happy kids at Williams, Dartmouth, and Bowdoin. I think those are real "fit" schools, you have to know who you are before signing up of those. ND too. [/quote]

Georgetown doesn't have a greek system -[/quote]

I think a lot of kids and parents listen to the school presentation on greek life and few ask the actual students. there are a lot of "unassociated houses" at Georgetown with all the rushing and pledging as frats.  it's more of a thing than people realize [/quote]

I work at Georgetown with a lot of young alumni (and interact with the alumni community), and I have never heard a single reference to Greek life—to being a member of a house or to Greek life’s existence at the school. I also see no evidence of it walking around campus, in the student newspapers, etc.

To the extent that it’s a thing, it’s not a thing like it is at schools with formally recognized Greek systems, where Greek identity is very obvious. [/quote]

Jesuits don’t do Greek. [/quote]

[b]Many smaller or more traditional Jesuit institutions do not have Greek life, substituting it with community-focused service organizations or, as in the case of Notre Dame (though not technically Jesuit, it follows a similar model), a strong, residential, hall-based social system.[/b]

The core Jesuit focus on service and community means that even where fraternities exist, they may differ from typical, high-intensity, or exclusive, national, stereotype-driven Greek systems.

Georgetown doesn’t have any sanctioned frats/sororities.

My DC attends a Jesuit high school and Notre Dame did not have the same feel at all. Jesuits are pretty liberal. The vibe at Notre Dame felt very conservative and religious. There is not anything wrong with this, but I wouldn’t describe Notre Dame is a school that is in the Jesuit model. It is absolutely 100% into community service, as are all Catholic schools. [/quote]
