[quote=Anonymous]I was in your son's position 20+ years ago. Drinking culture made me uncomfortable for a lot of reasons, many of which were related to my own family history. I eventually attended a small residential school without a Greek system, but not before attending Virginia Tech my freshman year. The lack of a Greek system will not magically remove drinking from the campus. HOWEVER, it's more underground/less public at schools both without football teams and Greek systems. And it always -- anywhere -- comes down to finding the right peer group. Institutional size makes a difference too. A school with fewer 10k students will be a place where he will be more likely to find a group of likeminded students, rather than a sprawling campus with 30k+ students. And believe it or not, as much as Penn and Dartmouth are maligned here, at least 20 years ago, both schools had ample opportunities outside of the Greek system. As did Columbia. [/quote]
