<p>@NYSkins–This is the first time I have ever heard about WashU’s student life based upon the Greek system. lol. Can’t remember how I stumbled in here in the first place but thought I’d clarify this point. Yeah, there are frat parties that you can go to on the weekends but they make up a really small part of the overall school.</p>
<p>And yes, confusedboy is correct that there are a lot of cross admits between WashU and Rice. I have friends here (at WashU) who turned out Rice and I’m sure there are people at Rice who turned down WashU. :)</p>
