I can’t speak to Dartmouth engineering, but I can tell you about Greek life.

Greek life does dominate. However, because such a massive percentage of students are affiliated, the fraternities and sororities include a number of students who probably wouldn’t be affiliated at other schools. In addition to the standard athletic fraternities, there are also crunchy outdoors-y type houses, houses that are part of a more alternative scene, houses with a Capella singers and theater majors, and houses whose membership is a more mixed groups of guys with very diverse interests. If he does come to Dartmouth, he’ll have a year to get a feel for the houses and decide if he does want to rush.

And I’m with your son, I’m not outdoorsy but I love the campus. Like your son, I also loved both Brown and Dartmouth. Whichever he chooses, I’m sure he’ll have a great 4 years.
