What is the northwestern social scene like? I think I want to join a frat, but I’m not a huge drinker (will drink casually/ a little bit) What is the average frat party like at northwestern? Do people ever Casually talk at the parties or is it really just pure binge drinking and/or dancing? I am really looking for a social scene that’s relatively inclusive, laid back drinking where people can talk and play low key games. Is that the average frat scene or will I have to work hard to find it?I feel like I’m in this weird place where I’m not into huge Ragers, but I enjoy intimate smaller parties.
Northwestern definitely has smaller, more laid back parties, but these are usually not frat parties. They’re generally hosted by upperclassmen that you meet in pretty much any student group (you can probably also meet someone hosting these kinds of things through your frat). It also sounds kind of like you’re describing a mixer, which frats do have with sororities, mostly in the winter.
