From talking to a couple of current students, they've made it clear that each dorm tends to attract a certain type of student.
Could anyone attempt to stereotype the dorms and frats for me?

just found a nice thread from a few years ago:
what are the Best Dorms/Worst Dorms

I want to reiterate that no matter what you hear and from whom you hear it,

Senior House is NOT A CRACK HOUSE.


It's a crack home.

There are some two dozen frats. This is non-trivial.

Are you going to CPW? Do that first.

Did you really just ask us to stereotype each other? I mean, I will certainly agree that dorms have different cultures and attract different sorts of people, but phrasing it "can you stereotype the entire campus for me?" is sort of bothersome....

Olo

the thing you should really take away from this thread is that burton conner is just like baker house

mootmom

And that my kid lives in the hippie house.

Olo

also tep is the gay frat

Rar, Olo, watch it. =P

my words are the essence of truth distilled down to elemental honesty and poured into a mold of infallibility from which they form memorials of legitimacy and then I sprinkle some more certainty on top.

The Bad
Baker: the freshmen are annoying (unless you are a freshman)
Bexley: the seniors are annoying (unless you are a senior)
BC: not as diverse as they claim, just kind of their own thing
EC: some of them care too much, some of them don't care enough
MacGregor: they could all be annoying (who knows?)
McCormick: i'm not allowed in
New House: i was temped there, i left
Next House: it's a small pond
Random: they play fun games.. but only some of them
Senior Haus: i think olo lives there
Simmons: the architecture is the most interesting part

The Good
Baker: it's like summer camp
Bexley: you get to become a senior
BC: rugged cool
EC: you dont have to listen to those people
MacGregor: they could all be cool (who knows?)
McCormick: i'm not allowed in
New House: unique subcommunities
Next House: no sharks
Random: their culture is defined by only some of them
Senior Haus: olo will probably graduate eventually
Simmons: worst case, you can always go wallrunning

Don't forget that Simmons is the culture-less dorm! </sarcasm>

(Actual comment: defining fraternities' culture can be very difficult. Not only because there's 27 of them, but because fraternities are even more fluid than dorms are.)

Oh River. <3
