<p>When I was coming to Vanderbilt, everyone always said that you could either be in greek life or not, and there were so many things to do outside of campus. the reality, is that at vanderbilt youre on campus the majority of the time. and the main attraction on weekends is frats. I have learned to love vanderbilt, whereas during my first semester freshman year i was thinking of transferring. I don;t want to candy coat vanderbilt like people did for me. Frats are a big deal. If you have a group of friends that also aren’t involved then that’s great, you’ll be happy. However, a lot of friends get split of during pledging because the new freshman pledges spent almost all of their time at the house. I’m in a sorority and it was definitely a bigger deal during rush and the week after, but now it has slowed down. I know that there aren’t many guys in frats because each one only takes about 15-20 pledges, but the ones that are get so involved and love it. And it definitely gives you a consistent social life.</p>
