<p>I don’t know about the others, but there certainly NOT an overwhelming Greek system at Harvard. There is barely any Greek presence at all. There are only a handful of Greek frats and sororities and none of them are residential - the students preferring to live in the their on-campus residence Houses. The final clubs are more visible at Harvard than the Greeks are, and even they constitute only a small minority. Only about 10% of Harvard men belong to a final club, and the percentage is even lower for women. </p>
<p>In addition, neither the final clubs nor the Greeks have any sort of affiliation with or recognition by Harvard itself. They are off-campus private clubs. For nearly every student there, their social lives revolves around their Houses. A large majority of the students at Harvard spend their four years with the neither the final clubs nor the Greeks having any effect on their lives at all. </p>
