<p>How much does the Greek scene dominate the campus at Auburn? Does anyone know the % of Freshman that join Sororities? I am interested in Auburn, but not interested if the campus is snobby, greek dominated, or non tolerant. I love the campus, the traditions, and have family in Alabama, but want to be sure about the friendliness to non Southerners, and multi-racial people. Thank You!</p>
<p>I don’t know that much about Greek life at Auburn, but I can tell you that my DD is not Greek and is loving Auburn! Her roommate last year was in a sorority (and is now in her mandatory year in the sorority dorm) and they got along great. DD was leary of the whole Greek life at southern schools thing but is having no problem with it at Auburn. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>About 35% of girls and 25% of guys are Greek - This might feel big, especially freshman year. However, there are so many things to do at Auburn, it is not really a problem for those that want to avoid the Greek scene. My DS was not interested in rushing and has never regretted it. He did not know anyone at Auburn when he arrived and has made many good friends. The key is to put yourself out there and check out lots of different activities on campus. DS loves Auburn and rarely comes home during the semester.</p>
<p>I have a son (senior) and daughter (freshman) at Auburn, and both are Greek. My daughter loves her sorority, but she is involved in a lot of other activities (freshman leadership program to name one) and is having a wonderful freshman experience. Her roommate did not go through rush and is every bit as involved as my daughter is. There’s not a big divide between Greeks and non-Greeks. My son’s girlfriend never went through rush and she is one of the finalists for a very prestigious campus position. There are so many ways to get involved at Auburn – sororites and fraternities are just a small part of it.</p>
<p>Thank you for your response! It’s encouraging to hear that the campus has lots to offer to both Greeks and non Greeks.
Thanks Again - I will continue to consider Auburn.</p>
<p>Being a Greek at Auburn is not as big a deal there as it is at other schools, such as Georgia and Alabama. I think it’s because Auburn does not have the big sorority houses. Greeks and non-Greeks get along fine. There are a number of honoraries and service fraternities and sororities that have a lot of the social aspects of the strictly-social Greek groups. You will find plenty to do at Auburn without Greek letters.</p>
