first of all i am not a member of any social house on campus, but i have friends in various houses.
there are about five social houses right now (i’m not absolutely sure if one got the boot for too much party damage)
xenia: a dry social house (don’t know much else). a really nice physical house.
kdr: technically a fraternity that does exist at other colleges. midd is the alpha chapter. the house is quite old, but still loved. (and like 15 minutes from the rest of campus on foot). i hear rumor that people won’t be able to live in it much longer due to problems with the foundation. this is the one i’m most familiar with, but honestly rush is something that is kept pretty secret, though i do know it’s “dry”.
delta: this one is being reinstated so i know nothing about it, except the actual house is quite nice
tavern: a fun party place. connections with kdr. (as in they are friends not competitors really)
the mill: the artsy social house that is know for crazy parties. it is a very self-selective kind of place. the house itself is right on the edge of campus.

parties are generally open, but sometimes they have closed events. i haven’t heard anything about formals (sports banquets are more popular). as of the spring, freshmen were going to be allowed to rush but that might change depending on what the president says.

hope this helps
