+1. I was just about to make the same suggestion. While there are plenty of sororities and fraternities, the student body is so large that the social scene doesn't revolve around the Greek system. Plenty of us were "independents" and it wasn't a big deal. There are so many students that it's easy to find your people. That said, it is a big sports school but it sounds like your child is interested in sports.

You wouldn't know that on football game days but otherwise it's lower profile. And obviously 83% of the undergrads aren't in greek life so there are plenty of non-greek things to get involved in. Not a safety for most kids though.

Aren't most kids entering college before they start drinking/forming an opinion on whether or not they are drinkers? Or am I being too naive?
Some kids already know they don't want to drink because of religious/moral convictions.
