If you don’t plan on pledging, you can avoid that factor of the Greek system, because despite what BS people may try to tell you, it SUCKS at schools that don’t monitor hazing. The closest to “hazing” pledging I’ve seen at Brown was with my friend pledging DPhi and Thete, but you should know ahead of time that those frats are suspended anyway, so anyone joining is doing it at their own discretion. I’ve had my friend at D call me crying about the things she’s forced to do to join a “sisterhood.”

That being said, every school’s varying Greek houses have different vibes. Although you’re not super into drinking, you will definitely find friends (and gasp maybe even a few people in frats/sororities) that don’t drink either. Just keep in mind that you’ll have to have an open mind about these things in college.
