I’m a freshman here and even though admissions and tours will say that the greek life is declining, it still absolutely dominates the social scene… but only if youre into partying/drinking. I have found that for the most part people are really respectful of people who don’t drink. My one friend doesn’t drink and I actually respect him more for sticking with that than some others who just drink to fit in instead of actually liking it.
There are actually many other things to do besides drink on weekends. There is CA, (Campus Alternatives) and they usually plan events for weekends for those that do not want to drink. And UR is only like 10 minutes from downtown Richmond, where there are plenty of things to do
