<p>yale doesn't have frats i believe....?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sorry, but the 80s are gone.</p>
<p>Some schools on that list do have national fraternities and sororities; they just aren't residential or recognized by the school. Collegekid, Yale does have fraternities and sororities, including a few with houses.</p>
<p>umm the 00's are the new 80s.</p>
<p>it really depends on the school. at my school, they couldn't be lamer</p>
<p>Lewis and Clark also does not have Greek.</p>
<p>yea i agree, it depends on the school. greek life is excellent at my school but i've been at other schools where its very lame.</p>
<p>At bigger schools, they might be better--but they're so small at liberal arts colleges that I think they really get labeled and seem to attract a small, ethnocentric crowd. I just feel like the stereotype always turns out to be true. What school do you go to, college2332?</p>
<p>Vanderbilt (im from NY)</p>
<p>Princeton!</p>
<p>Vanderbilt definitely has Greeks--southern preppy Greeks</p>
<p>Skidmore has three components to its charter as a formerly all-female college: 1) no frats 3) no football team and 3) maintaining a larger female student body than male (it is now at about 55%female/45%male.) It makes for a nice atmosphere that lacks some of the social oppression that is sometimes associated with frats.</p>
<p>Princeton doesnt have frats or sorros, but the eating clubs are a virtual substitute as they have a legacy thats followed!
But cmon, i think the frats and sorr. are fun, u r part of a very exciting thing and u should have that in ur college life!</p>
<p>Rice has residential colleges, which offer the same sort of competition and debauchery opportunities that Greek life offers, without the exclusivity and cliquishness that you see in ye stereotypical frats and sororities. (I mean, come on... You've got Baker 13, Beer Bike, NOD, an annual toga party, and a wet campus with two pubs! That's all the debauchery a college student needs. ;) )</p>
<p>So... sorta like Princeton's eating clubs, except they're more living-eating-competing during Beer Bike clubs, and you're assigned to them before you matriculate.</p>
<p>In fact, I really think I remember signing something during O-Week that said that I promised not to join any "exclusive social club" for the duration of my time at Rice. None of us missed Greek life (that I know about, and we've discussed this a lot at Rice), and all of us had our fill of pranking and traditions and inter-college rivalry.</p>
<p>
Yale has some of the most prestigious frats!!! with many of the us presidents as ex-members of it!</p>
<p>Yale has "secret societies".</p>
<p>HIRAM has no frats - I know because my D hangs out in the coffeehouse which is very freindly and fun in alternative ways..........</p>
<p>Seattle University
Vanderbilt</p>
