Greek Life vs W&L

<p>I recently visited Richmond and love the academic setup as well as the campus but I really couldn't get a feel for how dominant the greek life was during my visit. I guess I was wondering what the general reputation of the student body is and how greek life would differ at UR from someplace like Washington and Lee. Also are their greek houses on campus?</p>

<p>W&L Greek life is much more prevalent than at UR, for better or worse. At W&L, Greeks can live in the housing, whereas at UR, they are just lodges for social events. No UR students live in greek housing. Participation in Greek life at UR has decreased substantially over the last decade (think this is part of a national trend).</p>
