<p>Exactly. It seems as if the only ones who refute comments stating that the school is Greek-dominated are parents in denial. We, however, are students who live here each day and see what occurs on a daily basis. I have plenty of friends who are Greek and plenty of friends who are not Greek. And those who are not Greek have a more difficult time finding things to do. Does they mean they don’t have fun? No. It just means that they have to be more creative (attending Belmont parties, etc.). Opportunities aren’t simply handed to them as much as they might have been at schools.</p>
<p>I’m sorry that I came off as snide with my Model UN comment. I said it to get a point across though. If you were to take a poll of the Vanderbilt student body, I would bet that a significant majority of kids say they enjoy parties where drinking is involved. Not necessarily binge drinking or “raging,” but at least some form of collegiate party atmosphere nonetheless. To say so otherwise would be somewhat naive.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that the Greek system here does dominate social life. Personally, I wish it didn’t. Does that mean that non-Greek students cannot have fun? Not necessarily, as evidenced by some examples in this thread. It just takes more effort.</p>
