Duke is as liberal as any of its peers and NC is definitely not the deep south. The area surrounding Duke is home to the highest concentration of MDs and PhDs in the country. NC went for President Obama in 2008 and is closer to Virginia politically than it is to SC. Having said that, I am confident that engaging with people who disagree with you politically (whether at Duke or elsewhere) will prove to be extremely beneficial. Don’t cloister yourself. The whole point of college is to broaden your horizons.

Also, you can have a great time without joining a fraternity. Just be open to new experiences. Everything else will fall in place.
