I’m a Freshman at Syracuse and I’m also not a big party person one of my main concerns was that I wouldn’t make friends since I didn’t party, but that really isn’t the case. In the beginning of the year they do icebreaker activities for pretty much anything you do (dorms, class, advising etc) so unless you isolate yourself in the beginning of the year you won’t be left out. Eventually you’ll find you’re group of friends to hang out with and do other things than party. There are free bus rides to the mall which has a movie theater and food court there are also plenty of clubs/groups to join on campus to keep you active. I have a habit of picking friends who are really different from myself so I have some friends who party a lot in fact two of my closest friends are pledging right now. As for the frats they are really secretive about what you have to do. I’ve overheard my friends talking about and a few things that they’ve had to do is walk in the snow barefoot, walk the frat members dogs at 7AM in a suit the day after a blizzard, and run a certain distance back to campus they also have to clean up after parties
