Nonathlete vs Athlete social divide?

Hi, guys. I’ll be attending Amherst this fall. From what I’ve read in the forums, there’s a pretty large social divide between athletes and non-athletes and that most parties are held by athletes. I am a relatively social person and I do like to go to parties. However, me being a non-athlete, would that in any way hinder me being accepted into parties? Are they exclusive for athletes only? Thanks in advance.

I will be an incoming freshman next year as well as an athlete. When I went for my official visit they explained to me that sports teams do usually host the parties, but they are pretty open to anyone. I wouldn’t stress about it!
