<p>I’m a student at Rhodes, and I chose not to join a fraternity but I love the Greek system here. Though the campus is about a 50/50 split Greek and non-Greek, you’d be hard-pressed to tell. The fraternity and sorority houses are non-residential so even the Greek students live in the dorms with everyone else. You don’t see a lot of division between Greeks and non-Greeks and the Greek events normally open to the entire campus by about eleven. So our Greek system is there if you’re interested in it but it doesn’t overwhelm to social scene by any means. And we’re definitely not a wild party school. It’s actually kind of funny to think about us like that.</p>
<p>As for pre-med, many of our students are interested in going to med-school and focus on that in their studies. Rhodes has a great agreement with the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital where Rhodes students can get internships and do research with researchers at the hospital. It’s a great opportunity for students interested in medicine. I can put you in touch with friends of mine who have done work with St. Jude if you’re interested. Many pre-med focused students also volunteer at one of Memphis’ public hospitals, The Med, spending time with doctors and patients in many areas of the hospital.</p>
<p>I’d love to talk to you some more about Rhodes if you’re interested. Shoot me a PM or reply.</p>
