Is there a lot to do?

I think you have it backwards: the lack of Greek life doesn’t “rules out a lot of sub-groups and activities/events” - it facilitates them and allows them to operate without the burdens of a highly stratified and segregated, party-centric caste system. Because Greeks play such a small role on Georgetown’s campus, student social life revolves around all those things you mentioned: student organizations, club/intramural sports, charitable initiatives like DC Reads or the DC Schools Project, etc. Students are free to socialize based on shared interests without the ridiculous pressures that exist on Greek-dominated campuses.
