Came here knowing essentially nobody, found it insanely easy to make friends.

And for your greek system question, you’ll be able to get into parties with girls during welcome week but after rush there’s really no reason for a fraternity to let you into their party unless it’s a big open party which doesn’t happen very often. Most greek events are mixers with other sororities and are limited to just those members, even if you have friends that are brothers at whatever frat’s party you’re trying to get into. This really can’t be overcome, you will either have to go greek (advised) or live with not always having an option on the party front. People not in greek life tend to try to find older friends that throw house parties often, but seeing and drinking with the same few people over and over can get old fast.
