don’t worry, you’ll fit in just fine. I had the same attitude towards greek life and I think the greek scene is definitely a net positive, since so few people are actually in societies they contribute a space for dance parties and concerts without really taking anything away.</p>
<p>That wesleying post is a pretty good run down. DKE and Beta are the most fratty, they basically provide a niche for a couple of sports teams and their friends. I’ve never been in either (DKE just got off probation) and I don’t have much of a desire to, but I definitely don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything. I’ve never had a night where the only thing that’s happening is at the frats. Psi U is the other real frat, which has more open events and has a bigger presence, but I’ve only been there for dance parties and concerts. I’m guess I’ve never been to an actual frat party. Except for Beta, the ‘frats’ have program house status and operate mostly the same way as program houses. so in general, official events (which they’re required to put on to keep their status) won’t even serve alcohol. As for Eclectic and Alpha Delt, they’re coed and are nothing like the stereotype of frats. They’re more like big, selective program houses.</p>
<p>In short, yeah, we have a couple frats, which is a little contrary to the stereotypical image of Wes (especially since Amherst and Williams, which seem more like they would be big on greek life, banned them). but they definitely add way more than they take away.</p>
