<p>Hey guys, </p>
<p>I'm wrestling with the decision of whether or not to go greek, and need some help. I like a good party every once in a while, but I'm fairly devoted to my academics and would really like to focus on those as much as I can. In an ideal world, I'd love to work on my classes Monday through Thursday, and then go to a party every Friday or Saturday whenever possible. Is this realistic? Can someone participate in the fraternity party life without actually being in a fraternity? Will they kick you out? Is there always more than one party to go to? Thanks.</p>
<p>Girl: Yes.
Guy with friends at the fraternity: Depends. Yes if a lot of friends, maybe not if only one or two.
Guy that doesn’t know anyone there: Highly unlikely.</p>
<p>I didn’t go Greek and went to plenty of fraternity parties and had a good time. It was limited to just one house either. It all boils down to who you know and your personality/attitude. If you don’t know anyone and bring a big group of girls with you, that will most likely get you in as well.</p>
<p>haha…these responses are hilarious. To the OP: You’ll make enough friends if you are an extrovert/open to ppl freshman year. I am sure that you guys can meet up during the free times and probably do cookouts and stuff. Students who haven’t eated a home food for days would love to join lol…this is just imagination playing its part, but a party doesn’t have to be too stylish and stuff.</p>
<p>I just graduated from Vanderbilt. I only had maybe three or four close friends during my four years there, and I still managed to party a lot. Fraternities are fairly open if you go early enough in the night, and you can just follow people in the elevator as they stop on a floor in Towers to a suite party.</p>
<p>Note: doing these will get you labeled as a “creeper.” Only do this if you don’t care what people think of you.</p>
<p>Plus there’re plenty of bars immediately off campus.</p>
