<p>I was wondering what the Greek Life was like at Penn. Is it oppressive at all? Are you a social nobody/cannot get into parties if you’re not a frat/sorority girl?</p>
<p>Also, what are the best frats at Penn, and what are the hazing rituals like? How hard is it to get into one?</p>
<p>Pros and cons of joining one at Penn, and maybe more specifically, as Whartonites?</p>
<p>Try this website: <a href="http://www.vault.com/hubs/600/408/schome_408.jsp?ch_id=408%5B/url%5D">http://www.vault.com/hubs/600/408/schome_408.jsp?ch_id=408</a>. It's got all sorts of info on campus life at various colleges and universities, written by people who have attended them (at least, that's what's supposed to happen! :) If you pretend you went there and write something, who can stop you? lol)</p>
<p>Awesome!</p>
<p>Does anyone on here have any first-hand experience? lol</p>
<p>it fades in importance as you go through Penn year after year.</p>
<p>theres another thread that talks alllll about this. do a search for it</p>
<p>No trouble getting into parties if you're not a member of a greek group. They are all remarkably open.</p>
<p>Greek life exists but it does not dominate. Only like 1 in 3 or 4 is in a frat. Frat parties do form a part of social scene and are open but there is lots more. U are in a big city not some podunk town where there is nothing else to do but go to frat parties.</p>
<p>As for joining, you know whether you are a frat boy type personality or not. Most people aren't. Jocks tend to be more often. You'll have plenty of chances to learn more during pledge period. Social life is completely mixed and whether or not you are Wharton has no impact - there are no "Wharton frats" and "College frats".</p>
