Yup. Harvard, too. And Princeton has eating clubs, no fraternities, does that count? Also MIT and Chicago - periphery frats, no one cares.


Actually, looking st my list, it occurs to me, probably none of the top 10 or so schools have a big fraternity presence.

Not big at Miami (FL). I did sorority, but I was in the minority. But IMO, my family wasn't quite well off enough to fit in.

I went to Georgetown. No frats, but it might as well have. Very social/drinking heavy social scene. Same is true for many LACs. Only difference from my friends at greek-heavy schools was that we didn't have formals.

A school with very diverse social opportunities. You can do anything there on the weekend. Great places to eat, listen to live music, theater, outdoor activities, sports events, shopping. No one needs to drink or go Greek to have a social life. Because it is large there is no pressure to conform to any one type of group.

An absolutely underrated school. Great location and teaching, but always seen as a notch below some of the other publics. I think the reason is that they do not as actively go out and look for out of state students.
