I’d echo what was said above. S went to Lafayette with no intention of joining a frat. He changed his mind 2nd semester soph year and pledged, and is happy with his decision. But he was not bored before he pledged, and he has many friends who are not in frats or sororities. His frat has given him opportunities for leadership and making new friends, without seeming to cut his connections to his non-Greek friends.

In the distant past, Greek life did “rule” Lafayette’s campus, but from what my son says that is no longer the case. It takes a long time for old reputations to die, though.
