<p>If CVS doesn’t have what you’re looking for, the nearest full grocery stores are Whole Foods, Stop and Shop, and Shaws. Whole Foods (apart from being more expensive) might not have the kinds of drink pallets you’re looking for, but is right off campus (it’s actually right by CVS). Stop and Shop is about a 15-20 minute walk, and 3 T Stops from campus (At the Brigham Circle Stop on the Green Line). There is a Shaws roughly the same distance in the other direction (You can take the Subway in this direction, but it isn’t as convenient - Stop and Shop is closer to the Brigham Circle stop than the Shaws is to the Prudential Center Stop), and also another one a similar distance away, but on the other side of the Fens (I haven’t actually visited this, as lugging groceries through the Fens doesn’t strike me as a fun activity), and their isn’t anything resembling convenient subway access (nearest stops are on the D Branch of the Green Line, Northeastern is on the E Branch)</p>

<p>Hey OP. Incoming freshman. I’m looking to pledge a fraternity and I’m going for Alpha Delt. What’s the word with them? I know they’re newer on campus, but it’s Alpha Delt, so I can imagine an image of what they might be like. I met some of the recruiters at orientation, and the character of the fraternity seems like something I can contribute to. </p>

<p>What other fraternities have a similar character to ADP? I hear Sig Ep is big on campus too. What’s their deal?</p>

<p>As far as parties, I’m not looking to drown myself in freshman parties because, at least at the freshman parties I’ve been to at other schools, they’re pretty ****ty. How do you think I should get into some of the more decent ones, maybe parties at top-tier Northeastern fraternities?</p>

<p>And, one more thing: I was selected as a University Scholar at Northeastern. Is this something I should bring up/will a fraternity want me more if this is the case, or should I just neglect to mention it?</p>
