<p>I’m not opposed to partying but I definitely don’t plan on joining a sorority. If I attend a college with a high frat/sorority scene, will I feel left out if I am not part of it? Like is there not going to be any other parties on campus, and will my entire math class be full of sorority girls talking about their parties?</p>
<p>Also…is the 60/40 female/male ratio SUPER obvious? I plan on finding my husband in college…</p>
<p>It depends on the school. At some schools, there’s a lot of frat/soror stuff, but there’s also a lot of other stuff. At other schools, mainly small, rural schools, there’s a lot of frat/soror, and that’s really it. Again, with the ratio. It depends on the school, and I would imagine it depends on the major you’re in.</p>
<p>What about BU’s 40/60?</p>
<p>I can’t speak specifically about BU, but I would assume that since it’s a pretty big school, there are plenty of guys.</p>
<p>I also think the bigger the school the less the problem. So even at a big school with a 40/60 split, you’ll still have a ton to do that’s not frat/sor. related. But at a smaller school like Washington & Lee, it’s going to be a lot more prominent. :p</p>
<p>I would hardly plan on finding a husband at college. If it happens, cool. But I wouldn’t focus on it like that. </p>
<p>The whole “going to school to get the MRS. degree” thing went out like 35 years ago. </p>
<p>Just have fun andmeet lots of people. If dreamboy happens to be there, awesome. If not, there’s life after college. </p>
<p>And about the greek stuff: you can be friends with people in frats/sororities without being in them. You can go to the parties (but on your own schedule) and so long as you don’t feel terribly left out of the secret rituals, you’d be fine. There will be lots and lots and lots of all kinds of parties. No worries.</p>
<p>my college was close to 60-40 females, and most people never had a problem finding guys, especially in majors that stereotypically are at least 50% guys</p>
<p>I feel obliged to put in a note for the other fine college gentlemen in Boston. I’ve got some guy friends at MIT who need a girlfriend. ;)</p>
<p>as someone said above it depends on the school as to how much influence the greek system has on social life. Greek houses are ultimately just another type of school “club” and most schools have all kinds of clubs to join. also depending on the school, the greek system does provide alternatives for housing. </p>
<p>Bottom line though, women are always welcome at fraternity parties whether they are in a sorority or not - you won’t be left out.</p>
<p>so is it kind of like this?</p>
<p>If you are a member of a frat/sorority then you are ALWAYS involved in all the activities…including the parties</p>
<p>If you arn’t then you don’t have to deal with any of the frat/sorority tradition stuff, but you are welcome to join the parties</p>
<p>Joining a sorority has it disadvantage and advantages. For me it was more disvantage. If you are a pre-med, pre-law or plan to go to graduate school I wouldn’t suggest joing one due to time. Most sorority and frats require you to do most of the activities they plan.
You wont feel left out cause not everyone is part of one. Besides like everyone said you can always go to their parties!!</p>
<p>I noticed at my school that frat dudes tend to be really sketch and that sorority girls tend to look like all the other girls in their sorority.</p>
<p>the thought of applying and paying to have friends turns me off.</p>

<p>Well if you think about it, college is the last place you will get to meet so many people at your same age who probably aren’t married… At work, it will be completely different.</p>
<p>Exactly…I don’t want to go to college to get a “Mrs. Degree” but I would want the opportunity to find someone. At an all womens college, or at a college that is 60-40, it is a lot harder. I would choose a good education over anything else when it comes to college, but having the chance to meet new people is definitely a nice supplement.</p>
<p>BU boys are hot 
I was there during freshman move in last year…No lie, at least 50 drop dead gorgeous ones. </p>
<p>But annnyway, is that really all that important? I understand something like an 75/25 split may not be desirable, but is 60/40 that big of a deal? If you’re looking for a husband isn’t it about finding ONE RIGHT PERSON not a large applicant pool?</p>
<p>Eww, I sound like a feminist, haha. But i’m looking to get my MRS in college too, so it’s all good. </p>
<p>Washington & Lee’s frat/sor. scene is pretty big (70%+ Greek), but when I visited there I definitely felt like everyone just gets along and doesn’t care who is in what frat. I don’t really know about BU’s Greek scene.</p>
<p>In my school, you don’t necessarily have to be part of a frat, but the party scene is a big thing since during the winter months many people are stuck indoors not being able to do anything…</p>
