<p>I would prefer a school that is not a big Greek school and has great school spirit. thanks alot for your help.</p>

<p>The issue with what you are asking is that most DI schools that have great sports and school spirit tend to be Greek dominated. I would reccomend looking at Boston College. Great well-rounded school, fantastic athletics/school spirit, and no greek system at all.</p>

<p>I agree with pvike - most D1 schools have a very Greek-ish atmoshpere (regardless of whether or not a lot of people go Greek, they tend to have that feel, I guess.). I’ve noticed this especially in the Big 10 conference (at schools like Illinois, Inidiana, and Penn State) and southern schools (such as Vandy and Wake). </p>

<p>I’ll second the recommendation for BC. How about Colgate or Holy Cross?</p>

<p>And for publics…how about Pitt? It doesn’t have much of a fratty feel, but the academics are good and there’s lots of spirit. And the honors program is amazing. </p>

<p>Berkeley, perhaps? </p>

<p>EDIT: I think Washington would probably fit what you’re looking for as well.</p>

<p>BC looks pretty good as does Pitt. Berkeley would be good but I’m not into the extremely liberal campus. I would put more emphasis on it being a D1 sports school than it not having a greek scene also. thanks alot guys for the ideas so far.</p>

<p>If Berkeley’s too liberal, you may like UCLA.</p>

<p>I can’t recall offhand if Georgetown is D1, but if so, it could be a good fit too. Very strong in business and science. </p>

<p>Michigan could be good too. It’s a top business schools, definitely D1, but not too Greek-feeling (compared to the rest of the big 10).</p>

7

<p>Yes, definitely look at Georgetown. Great basketball team and school spirit, no greek. And its a crazy good school.</p>

8

<p>Wisconsin is less dominated by Greeks than most similar schools yet has great D-1 sports and very good science and business programs. Pretty decent social life too.</p>
