[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reaches my DS likes best are Harvey Mudd, Carleton, Swarthmore, and Brown. He likes them because they are collaborative environments without substantial Greek life that have strong STEM offerings (he wants to be a math or statistics major and go to grad school).

What are possible targets and safeties? Assume he has the stats to be competitive at the above reaches, but they are still lottery tickets.[/quote]

Curious, if your DS doesn't want to do Greek why does it matter if there is Greek on campus?  He just doesn't get involved in it. I think you may be eliminating a log of school schools.[/quote]

because at some schools it dominates social life[/quote]

True - but any school with 20% of less Greek life will have the vast majority of students involved in other activities.

As a guideline, this U.S. News list of fraternity participation extends to 19%:

Like most things US News, this doesn’t look accurate.  Union, for example, is three times higher than the school reports.

Percent of students participating in Greek life is information contained in a school’s cds.  OP should look there for the schools that are of interest.[/quote]
