lime, about 30% of all Williams students are varsity athletes. This is true at ALL small LACs that have multiple teams and small populations.
What differentiates Williams is that a greater percentage (I don't know that it's actually 60% but it's significant) of the student body are active at some level either in an organized sport or in an outdoorsy activity like skiing or trekking. These same kids may also be artists or musicians or actors etc who are also athletically inclined.
My son was never involved in team sports but he had a great time in less informal activities like soccer and broomball and snowboarded and hiked a lot. Some of his friends were team athletes, some were not. I didn't get the impression that team affiliation was the determining factor in friendships.
