<p>I am currently considering Colgate as one of my top choices, and realized that i have the opportunity to convert my regular decision into Early Decision 2. Obviously i like the school, but i just have concerns about the rumors of the social scene and frat life there, and i was wondering just how true the reviews are. I consider myself slightly preppy, middle class, moderately extroverted, and not unwilling to drink. I am, however, not a huge party person and the idea of spending 4 days a week hungover is not so appealing. So, to get to the point, how true are the rumors; how stuck up are the kids; and can you survive without being in a frat? Please feel free to ramble a bit, the more information the better. Thanks in advance :D</p>
<p>This has been discussed quite a bit over on the Colgate section, most recently here:</p>

<p>From how you describe yourself, you’ll be fine. Only 30% of the entire school and 40% of those eligible (rush is sophomore year) are involved in Greek life.</p>
