Is Vanderbilt a place for a non-drinking Christian?

There are tons of inexpensive and even free concerts at venues close to school. There are lots of events on campus. There are many organizations on campus for students interested in a myriad of activities and volunteer opportunities. There are plays, singing groups, service groups, etc, etc.

RUF is VERY active on campus, and there are several other Christian groups on campus, as well. There is a Christian fraternity, I believe. Some sororities seem to attract more conservative girls. Students who want to go to a particular church can usually find someone to give them a ride.

I won’t pretend that there aren’t a lot of students who love to party. However, there are plenty of things to do (and students to do them with) for those who would prefer to find other things to do. Those who love to party most likely find those who don’t to be boring … and their activities might be considered boring … but if these are the things the non-partier likes to do, then they aren’t boring to that student.
