Based on our visits (son is heading there in fall!) Northwestern stil has lots of kids in sorority/frat life (more than 10% I think I am sure you can find out) but it is certainly not frat dominated and I do think admin is looking to deemphasize it for all the usual reasons - the popularity took a hit also during Covid when kids couldn’t live in frats. My son isn’t interested in Greek life and thinks it won’t be an issue at Northwestern. I also agree that academically I would place Northwestern above the other two am fully on par if not higher than Duke, though obviously all are great schools with amazing academics. I also think that Northwestern vibe is quite a bit nerdier than the other two (and my son will be contributing to that lol).
