I am late to this discussion, but, for the benefit of others, this post is very spot on.

I know two kids who are good friends of one of mine who went to Lehigh - one very Greek and the other not so much. My kid also seriously considered Lehigh, and visited the campus twice.

Everything the poster said is very much what I have heard from them.

The area of Bethlehem, once one steps off the campus, it gets sketchy very fast. It is a good school with a number of very strong department. But, it really has issues with fraternities that seem to be stuck in the 1980-90 mentality (and this is coming from a former rah-rah fraternity member in his 50s) and safety issues that the school doesn’t like to talk about.
