UR vs. Colgate/Greek Life

<p>boatlift, I would recommend that you check out the Common Data Set for each of the schools. That will tell you what % of students are affiliated with Greek organizations. </p>

<p>There has been a steady decline in the Greek life at UR over the last 15 years or so. At UR, Greeks don’t live in separate houses, but do have space on campus to throw parties (guys do at least, the girls are getting some meeting spaces built right now, but do not host on-campus parties).</p>

<p>I drank in school, but had friends that did not. It was always available if you wanted it, but if you did not, that was respected as well. Hopefully someone who has been a part of UR’s undergrad scene more recently than I can chime in.</p>

<p>One last thought – ultimately, it comes down to your daughter. No matter where she ends up, if she wants to be a part of a scene or not will fall on her shoulders. Every campus will have different groups (some more heavily weighted one way or the other) and the last 18 years will help determine the next four for her.</p>
