Hi! I am a current Elon student and I had many of the same concerns you had when I first came here. Elon’s student body is probably its best asset because the school is full of so many friendly, enthusiastic students. Kids here are known for being very involved with a variety of activities, from religious organizations to greek life to sports to clubs specific to their major. There are more than a 100 student organizations, so even if you are very shy and introverted like I am, you can still find friends and a sense of belonging. I’m going to be honest with you in saying that the school is very, very “greek” - more than half of girls here are in sororities and a sizeable portion of the guys are in frats. However, I definitely wouldn’t say that there’s a “sorority type” because there’s girls of all different kinds in every sorority. I am as weird and quirky as they come and I feel right at home in my sorority. Even if you choose not to do greek life, there’s plenty of other fun and enriching ways to fill your social/extracurricular calendar. My favorite thing about Elon is that so many students here are absolutely CRAZY about their school. This extends not only to the school itself but to our community here. People here really look out for each other, which is not a quality you’ll find at every school. I hoped this helped, and feel free to reach out to me if you have any more questions!!
