Schools in the midwest/west that my Northeast-raised kid might like?

<p>

<p>LOL. Is this intended as an ironic comment? I do have to admit there’s a stronger Greek presence at Michigan than in my day, when frats and sororities had practically disappeared. But even today they’re far from a dominant force in the social scene. The major center for fratsters among Midwestern universities is Northwestern by far, with WUSTL a strong second. Even NU and WUSTL can’t hold a candle to tiny DePauw, however, where an overwhelming majority of the students go Greek.</p>
