[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most big state schools have frats, but you can easily ignore them.

I went to a [b]big football school[/b], hung out with like-minded nerdy/creative types and graduated without giving the Greeks any thought.[/quote]

I think this is harder to do at places like Penn State where it's really difficult to carve out a social niche without being in a sorority or fraternity.

I went to Penn State, and found it easy to make friends precisely because of its size. You can ignore the frats if you want. There are opportunities to get involved in the party scene without having to attend the creepy frat parties. If you don't like to party, there are so many avenues to get involved and because of its size, there are plenty of people out there who don't party. You can ignore the Greeks if you want.

Compare that to a school like Dartmouth, with only 4000 students and nearly half participating in Greek life, or Denison, 2200 students and 30% in frats and 46% sororities. Just by pure numbers there are far fewer Greeks and far fewer means of non-frat socializing at a place like Penn State than the small schools with Greek presence (I'd say for those, greater than 20% would give me pause).
