<p>I’m a freshman at Emory this year. So far, I really don’t think there is one way to classify Emory. While it is for sure more preppy than a school like Brown or Berkeley, it isn’t really overwhelmingly so. There are a lot of different types of people here.</p>
<p>Also I really don’t think Emory is all that Jap-py either. There are a LOT more Jews than I ever realized that go to Emory, but I would not describe them as JAPs.</p>
<p>No, you don’t have to be greek to attend the parties. Usually the frat parties are predominately freshmen and they don’t even join the Greek system until second semester (late January I think).</p>
