I am well aware that Middlebury does not have the formal, or should I say, ‘traditional,’ fraternity scene, that it had years ago, but I was hoping a current student or recent Midd grad could elaborate on the Social House system that is in place today. How many houses are there and what is the “rush” like. I understand that these houses are co-ed, so does this detract from the fraternal camaraderie the greek system fosters at other colleges. What are the houses like, physically speaking, and do they have formals and some exclusive parties for members only? Are the rest of their parties open to anyone on campus and when do people pledge? Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks.
