<p>The simple answer is “no,” your social life won’t die of you don’t go greek. Greek life doesn’t dominate Duke and many students on campus don’t even consider them. Duke has too many opportunities for students not interested in greek life to feel included and be able to make friends outside of class. Off the top of my head the many organizations, which I’ve been a member of or have great respect for are:</p>
<p>DUU (Duke University Union)
Sabrosura
Duke University Improv
Pitchforks
Duke Student Government
Duke Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club</p>
<p>Also, have you heard of select living groups? In addition to the above groups, I strongly urge you to look into them if you’re considering Duke. I’ve also never heard of the campus culture being degrading to women. The women on campus that I know attend Duke all love it and have found it to be a welcoming experience. Obviously you will have your fair share of people who will find Duke to be a less than enjoyable experience but you’ll find that everywhere. Another aspect about Duke is that administration has become much stricter about issues such as sexual assault in light of the recent scandals that have been occurring at other Universities. </p>
