<p>I was looking at a comparison chart on the Ivey League schools and it looks like it showing that Yale, Harvard, and Princeton have no fraternities and sororities? is this true?</p>
<p>it is very limited</p>
<p>They do have some, but relatively few. There are also Societies, but they are only for sr year.</p>
<p>emerald: a better question for you would be “Why doesn’t Yale have a big Greek scene?”</p>
<p>You’ll find that the very successful Residential College system supplants most of the deficit usually filled by frats/sororities at other schools. Research this.</p>
<p>There are frats and sororities; they’re just not officially recognized by Yale. They do have an impact on the social life here since they throw a number of parties, but they don’t dominate the social scene like they might at a state school.</p>
<p>There are 3 national sororities at (but not officially recognized by) Yale: Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma. There are also several fraternities, but I am not as familiar with them and don’t know how many and all of their names. They do have an active social scene for those who are interested.</p>
<p>
There are societies for those in their junior year also.</p>
<p>^Thanks for the correction, should have said “most”.</p>
