Emory Social Scene?

@Emory2022 I’m currently a student at Emory so I think I can answer your question. Like you, I love to party. I go out pretty much every weekend to frat parties - though I haven’t gone out in the past few weeks because of finals. Emory is strict when it comes to alcohol though people get medical amnesties and pretty much everyone has an alcohol stash. Faculty can be intrusive at times but on big party nights, they aren’t intrusive at all unless it becomes Project X level. The frats pretty much keep their drinks in the rooms on the days when faculty does sweeps. Since I am an Economics and Math major, I don’t have as much free time as some other majors but I do go out around 2 times a week - 3 if I am having a light week. For going into the city for fun, it depends on who you hang out with. Some people I know go into the city 4 times a week. Others maybe 1. I see juniors and seniors going into the city more since they seem to be tired of the frat party scene by then. It seems that people go to Tech and UGA either a lot or almost never. These universities have very selective frats that are very difficult to get into if you’re a guy unless you have a really good ratio (think 1:5 m:f). The only ways to get into them are through having that good ratio or go to frat parties at Emory and meet people who have connections at Tech then go with them to the Tech parties later (which is what I do). The bars are pretty easy on IDs since college students are a pretty big source of income.
I would agree with the point of view that if you want a greek scene and influence, Emory will give you that. If you don’t, it does not dominate the social scene like other schools (Duke, Vandy) so you get both worlds.
Feel free to PM me with any more questions!
