<p>How big is the greek life at Tufts? Does it dominate the social scene and how big is the drinking?</p>
<p>I'd say it's not that big. Only 10 frats (I think) and 3 sororities. I don't know a lot of people who are doing it....however, I feel that as a freshman, our weekend nights are dominated mostly by frat parties. The people that I party with almost exclusively go to frats (although we sometimes just party in the dorm). There are a lot of students who drink, and also a lot who do not. If you drink, you can go to a frat; if not, you can definitely find other people to chill with and many other things to do. So for me, if I didn't drink (and wasn't in a frat/sorority), then I don't think Greek Life would have anything to do with me; but because I do party, I feel like Greek Life is solely important for me for weekend parties. (PS if you're looking to be involved in a frat, good luck because they're really getting in trouble lately w/drinking/drug use with the pledges)</p>
<p>Greek life tires after freshman year though. It just loses its novelty and wow factor (in my humble opinion).</p>
