<p>1/3 social greek climbers whatever?
no way
there are probably 2 sororities and 3 fraternities that could even be considered as such, and a large majority of the members arent even like that. That’s an overstatement.
To be “suffocated by fakeness,” I don’t know just don’t let it get to you. Maybe people dress a certain way but guarantee if you just hang out with them you’ll see they aren’t fake at all and are pretty cool, but that may just be how they happened to dress in their (private) high school.
there is the 1/3 or so self segregated students or serious studiers / private students that you don’t see… but outside of that there are a ton of people of all personality types that you can get along with. I guess it’s easy to get into a smaller dorm in which you dont run into the people you tend to hang out with, but coming from a bigger one I would say its not too hard at all if you are somewhat proactive.
I absolutely love the Duke social scene, at first seeing the shooters/section party type everything I thought I would hate it, but have come to embrace it (not shooters so much, rather the people), and am currently pledging a fraternity and wouldn’t trade duke for the world</p>
