<p>Hi, I'm considering applying ED to Vandy but I'm not a huge fan of greek life and have heard that Vandy is big on frats and srats. I was just wondering whether there are any other drinking options other than frat parties on weekends for those under 21. Any responses would be appreciated!</p>
<p>Some of the bars downtown don’t card. Your other options are to drink with friends in the dorms or go to off-campus house parties. Most freshman go to frat parties. When I was a freshman, I would go to parties by Belmont and MTSU.</p>
<p>Here we go again…</p>
<p>Frat life is definitely the predominant form of social activity in terms of drinking here. However, there are other options. A lot of small “parties” are thrown in upperclassmen dorm rooms, and there are tons of bars downtown, many are 18+. Some off campus parties as well, but the craziest parties and most dominant drinking scene will be at the frats. Other clubs/activities will have their own parties as well, and one of my friends isn’t rushing but still manages to have a good time with his club</p>
<p>How, as a high school student, do you already know that you’re not a fan of Greek life?</p>
<p>^indeed. If you like drinking and partying, I mean, greek life is kinda convenient.</p>
