Emory Social Scene?

Hi! I was just accepted into the Emory main campus through early decision. I am super excited, as I fell in love with the school because of its size, location near the city, reputable academics and business school, sizeable Greek community, and especially the emphasis on club/intramural sports as opposed to varsity DI sports. However, a college experience consisting of parties and alcohol is also very important to me, and I had just assumed that every college would have this. Reading through other College Confidential Posts, I have heard completely conflicting views of the social life ranging from “there’s alcohol everywhere” to “the party scene is what you make of it” to “the party scene is totally dead”. Because of this, I would love to get a few things regarding the social life clear (mind you, I absolutely plan on joining a fraternity):

1. How strictly does Emory enforce its alcohol policy? Are kids/frats able to get around this? How intrusive are the faculty's "walk-ins" at frat parties?

2. How many times a week would a Freshman/Sophomore find a party?

3. How often will Freshmen/Sophomores go into the city for fun? Juniors/Seniors? How easy are the bars in town on ID's?

4. How often will kids go to Georgia Tech and UGA for parties and games?
